Wrapping It All Up. 
 We are in the final weeks of the year, and many of you are pushing hard to wrap up the course learning, push kids to realize their potential, and prepare students for end-of-year exams.  Your efforts are clearly seen and recognized AND appreciated!

The upcoming weeks will go by quickly.  
  • This week is the last full 5-day week of the school year for grades 8-12. Grades 6&7 have 1 more after this week. 
  • Next week is a short week.  Monday is Memorial Day and Thursday is a non-attendance day for grades 8-12 (US History Regent testing).  Grades 6 & 7 will have a normal day on Thursday.
  • The week after next is also short on instruction.  Thursday is Brooklyn Queens Day, and students will not be in attendance.
  • The following week, Regents Exams begin.  Last day of regular classes for grades 8-12 is June 13th.
Use this time well.  Make sure to make the time to
  • Celebrate those students who soared through the year to end the year as stars!
  • Acknowledge & appreciate those students who turned corners to grow & improve all year long!
  • Make time for those students who need your 1:1 attention the most.  The time is short, but there is yet still time.

No matter how we may have begun the year, it is never too late to make sure it ends beautifully!

We got this UAI - let's all work together to wrap up the year beautifully & seamlessly!

Announcements & To Dos

CEP Presentations.  On Monday for PD, we will be working in our CEP teams to prepare to present our process, goals, and action plans to the full staff.  Please use this template to add your team's slides to a master document.  We'll be meeting on Monday to prepare, and Tuesday to present.  Folks should plan to meet in the farm on Tuesday.  As a reminder, please submit per session to complete your outreach time at a later time this week.


[Repost] MP4 Log of Support.  Please continue to record your intervention and support by updating the  MP4 Log of Intervention and Support each week. Supports can be:
  • In-Class Supports:  1:1 Conferences, Individualized Assignments, Small Group Intervention, 
  • Advisor Academic 1:1 Coaching (regular grade checks and conferences about course progress)
  • Family Outreach: Calls Home, Texts of Progress (e.g. screenshot of grades), Emails home
Advisors:  For any advisee that is on the MP4 Log of Intervention and Support please make sure that you are meeting with them weekly. 



Attendance Meetings.  I just audited our staff attendance for the year.  There have been some mistakes which I am asking Damaris and Dai to fix.  Additionally, some folks have missed a significant amount of days this year.  I've asked Dai to meet with folks who have a negative CAR balance to let you know that you have a negative balance and what that means.  Also, for folks who have less than 90% attendance for the year, Dai will be reviewing those days with you as well.  Remember, we are struggling to get our students to have attendance of %90 or better.  If they see the adults around them modeling behaviors that are contrary to that goal, we have a problem.  So, if your attendance is less that 90%, please expect outreach from Dai who will be reviewing your attendance for the year to find ways to support you to have stronger attendance for the remaining time this school year.


Summer School.  We are finalizing summer school logistics in Building Council tomorrow, so I will be sending out a final email about summer school on Tuesday.  Keep an eye out!  I already sent an email out to all staff who expressed interest in summer school to confirm whether or not they can still work the summer.  If you didn't receive that email, please reach out to me as soon as possible!

  1. <I lost my job few months back and there was no way to get income for my family, things was so tough and I couldn’t get anything for my children, not until a met a recommendation on a page writing how Mr Bernie Wilfred helped a lady in getting a huge amount of profit every 6 working days on trading with his management on the cryptocurrency Market, to be honest I never believe it but I took the risk to take a loan of $2000. and I contacted him unbelievable and I was so happy I earn $22,500 in 6 working days, the most joy is that I can now take care of my family I don’t know how to appreciate your good work Mr. Bernie Doran God will continue to bless you for being a life saver I have no way to appreciate you than to tell people about your good services.

  2. <<<Investment is one of the best ways to achieve financial freedom. For a beginner there are so many challenges you face. It’s hard to know how to get started. Trading the Crypto market has really been a life changer for me. I almost gave up on crypto currency at some point not until I got a proficient trader Bernie Doran, he gave me all the information required to succeed in trading. I made more profit than I could ever imagine. I’m not here to converse much but to share my testimony, I invested $2000.00 and got back $21,500.00 within 5 days of investment. His strategies and signals are the best and I have gained more knowledge.
