Dear Parents and Guardians,
We hope you are enjoying the final days of summer. As we prepare for a successful new school year, we want to inform you about the New York City Department of Education’s updated Student Phone Policy, which aligns with Chancellor’s Regulation A-413 and guidance from the New York State Education Department (NYSED) regarding the use of electronic devices in schools.
There will be a Community Service Requirement for the 2025-2026 school year for 10th, 11th, and 12th Graders!
Please refer to the documents below to know more. If you have any more questions about the topic of Community Service, please contact Ms. Kiernan (skiernan@schools.nyc.gov)
