Dear Middle School Faculty,
We're excited to begin in-person and remote ESYNYC classes! I am scheduling elementary classes first next week. I will meet with you all to see what makes sense for middle school in-person engagement.
In the meantime, will you please share the following resources with your students and families?
- Fall Family Walk with a chance to win a prize!
- Now until Friday, October 16th
- A Remote Orientation Lesson in English & Spanish to share in Google Classroom. It's a PearDeck, so we will be able to see the answers. We should be granted access to google classroom by the end of this week.
- FREE Garden Harvest Bags - Must RSVP to Ms. Rosa - rm@esynyc.org
- Wednesday, October 14th
Thank you for your support and patience here at the beginning of the year.
Kindly,
Ms. Rosa, Mr. Anthony, Ms. Jo, and Mr. Shey
