IT’S LEADERSHIP APPRECIATION WEEK!

This week, we celebrate our school leaders! I am extremely grateful for this team and could not do this work without them! Leading a school comes with its ups and downs, especially during a pandemic! Our school’s progress is because of the leaders of our school. Please join me in sharing gratitude to each one of the deans!

IN PERSON LEARNING UPDATE

Our tentative return back to in person learning (for the families who selected to go in person) will be on April 19th. This date will be confirmed by the Achievement First network by April 5, 2021. Remember, in order for our schools to open, the infection rate across Brooklyn must be below 5%. We will communicate as soon as the decision is made.

In order to get ready for the return day, we will have Asynchronous learning days on April 14th, April 15th, and April 16th. This means that scholars will sign in for attendance and to receive their daily assignments. The reason we will have asynchronous learning days is to have safety meetings with all staff to ensure we are clear on our school safety measures. We will also be reviewing the hybrid curriculum as it will slightly change from what we have been doing/using. 

Please hold these dates unless Achievement First states we will not be opening. We will communicate all final decisions by April 5, 2021.

REFER A STUDENT!

We are rapidly approaching our lottery day! We have seats available in Kindergarten and 1st grade! Please brag about our school to any friends and families and help us get to 100% in all grades!

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 4^th grade at Crown Heights Elementary School to 5^th 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

·         4^th 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,
