Last week has been an emotional roller coaster ride for many of us. We hope that you’re all doing well. As your PTA, we want to assure you that our community is an inclusive and safe place where every family is welcomed. Let’s continue to work together for the best education and social-emotional environment of our kids.
Upcoming PTA meeting
Please join us for our next general PTA meeting this Thurs, Nov 12 at 7pm. Please RSVP here.
Consent form for COVID testing
For those in blended learning, please make sure you have an updated consent form for COVID testing for your child through your New York City Schools Account (NYCSA) or by downloading the form here. Keeping school buildings open depends on awareness and immediate action on any COVID-19 concerns in our buildings. AEA had their first random testing last week and things ran smoothly. Only the short nasal swabs were used, and our administration was present to make sure kids were comfortable throughout the process.
Opt-in period for blended learning
A reminder for current full remote only families that you can opt into blended learning for the remainder of the school year here from now until November 15. Please note that as of now, this is the only opportunity to opt into blended learning for the rest of entire school year (not just until the end of the calendar year 2020).
We know there are parents who are unhappy that this is the only opportunity to opt into blended when the original plan was to have enrollment periods every semester. If you are unhappy with this decision, please contact D28 CEC with your concerns: CEC28@schools.nyc.gov
Veterans Day – Wednesday, November 11th
School Closed – No Classes
We thank you for continuing to make our community a warm and welcoming place.
All the best,
Your PTA of AEA
