102 Review, ISSUE 27: SBO and Summer School

Posted on by mrkobot in Principal's Blog

Hats off to Ms. Beltran and the testing team for doing whatever it takes to ensure us having such a smooth testing week. Whether it’s missing planning pages, containing typos or incorrect numbering, the state tests seem to always come with last minute kinks and I couldn’t be more grateful for everyone’s effort and focus in getting things done.

I’d also like to commend all the teachers here as well–almost all the students I spoke with the past few days stated that the test was fair and that they felt prepared, bearing testament to the hard work we do each day. Thank you, 102, and onto math we go.

 

Things You Need to Know:

  1. 102 will be hosting summer school again this year and interested teachers should apply when the application window begins. In addition to serving students who did not meet June promotion criteria, we are also approved to host an English Language Learner program. This is a great opportunity for many of our ENL students to catch up over summer and to get ready for next year, and I will be providing families with more information soon.
  2. School-Based Option (SBO): The current work hours for teachers will expire in June, and unless a new SBO is voted in for next year, we will revert to the default schedule set by the DOE. The default school day starts at 8:20AM Monday through Friday, end at 4PM on Monday, 3:55PM on Tuesday, and 2:40PM Wednesday through Friday.

In order to survey interest for a new SBO, all staff should report to the auditorium at 3:35PM next Monday, 4/11/16. There you will be asked to share your interest in the four SBOs drafted by our UFT reps and myself. All four options have been pre-approved and any choice that is successfully voted in by staff will be our SBO for next year.
