Hi Families!

Welcome back from the three day weekend. I hope that everyone was able to take advantage of the extra day.

As we continue to plan for the new school year we really need your partnership to spread the word about our school. Our goal is to increase our enrollment and we know that word of mouth is the way to go! Brag about us and share your journey with anyone you know that is looking for a school! 

With Love,

The AFCHES Team

Dear 4th Grade Families:                                                 


We are very excited to connect with you in the coming weeks as you and your child prepare to transition from 4th grade at Crown Heights Elementary School to 5th grade at Crown Heights Middle School.  My name is Jasmine Harris and I am the Lower School Dean of Students at Crown Heights Middle School. I will be working with, Levar Leys, the office Coordinator at CHMS, along with your trusted team at Crown Heights Elementary School to ensure that the transition to middle school is a positive, efficient and smooth experience.
 

We know that you may have questions about enrollment process especially during these unprecedented times.  Over the next couple of weeks, you will be invited to a series of events that will prepare you and your child for the transition to our school.  All events will be virtual, and you will receive frequent reminders to attend.  We invite and encourage you to attend as many as you can. Here is what you can expect:

·         ~ 2 info sessions

·         ~ 6 orientation sessions

·         4th grade Virtual Tour

 

We look forward to meeting you soon.  If you have any questions in the meantime, please contact us with any questions to our emails.
 

Thank you,

Jasmine Harris

 Remote Learning Tutoring Service

Brittany Jean, a former AF teacher, has started a remote learning tutoring service. For families interested in this type of support, please visit https://www.breadylearning.com/ to learn more.
 
<FYI> Free or Reduced Virtual Tutoring Options
 
Team Special Services has assembled this Virtual Tutoring Options resource outlining free or low-cost tutoring services available to our students that schools could share with scholars and families around Progress Report or Report Card nights. The list currently includes programs through Columbia University, Fordham University, and other credible programs. Please make this available for families or share specific tutoring organizations with your school communities as you see fit. The programs listed meet the following criteria that we believe can provide some support for scholars: 
  • Free or low cost
  • Provides a consistent tutor
  • Provides a higher frequency of 2+ times a week for 1-2 hours
  • Provides one-on-one or small group tutoring 
<FYI> 2021-2022 AF Enrollment Application is now OPEN
Great News! Our 2021-2022 school year application is now open and we are still also enrolling scholars for this school year as well! 
We urge you to share this amazing opportunity with your friends and family in need of a school community such as AF! 
As a reminder, current AF scholars do not need to reapply to AF and enter the lottery again.

Whether you have incoming siblings that you would like to send to Achievement First or if you have family or friends interested in our schools, we encourage you to submit today to take advantage of upcoming virtual events and opportunities! To apply, simply click here, create an account or log into your SchoolMint account, and complete the application by April 1, 2021.
 
Achievement First is always in search of great teammates to join our community.  Through our referral program, we connect with hundreds of candidates every year.
