Good morning, Falcon Families,

As the weather begins to change, please remember to dress your children appropriately for the temperature. Here are some school updates: We are still selling World Finest Chocolates. Cases are available for $60, and we are hoping to begin selling them by the bars.

Last week was the first of our Western Queens Parenting Workshops. The topic was "Dealing with Disobedience". Unfortunately , we had some problem with the Zoom link and everyone was not able to get on. Not even me. We will make sure that we have the correct link and that it is working correctly. The next one is scheduled for Tuesday and it will be conducted in English. Please check the school's website for the link.

Dear Parents/Guardians:

In school year 2023-2024, every kindergarten, first grade, and second grade student enrolled in NYC public schools is eligible to participate, no matter their family income or immigration status.

The NYC Kids RISE Save for College Program provides families, schools, and communities with a way to work together to save for their children’s futures. It’s a scholarship and savings program designed to make college and career training more accessible and achievable for all NYC public school students, starting in kindergarten.

By providing upfront scholarships for every eligible student, tools and information for families to develop their own college and career savings plans, and a way for entire communities to invest in their children, the Save for College Program enables all of us to work together to build assets and support expectations of educational and economic success for every child.

Good news! If your child is eligible, they will be automatically enrolled in the Save for College Program unless you choose not to participate and opt out. As long as you take NO ACTION during the Opt-out Process, your child will be automatically enrolled and receive a free NYC Scholarship Account. If you do not wish to participate, please visit the NYC Department of Education website for more instructions on how to opt out.Families have 30 days to opt out if thet dont want to be included in the program and have their student's data shared with NYC Kids RISE.

Resetting your child’s Google Classroom Email Password.

Go to the Department of Education website: schools.nyc.gov

Scroll down to the Technology for Families section and click onto STUDENT tab.

You will then click onto the menu option: Resetting your child’s password and then under that will be the instructions to create a pin for the account.

You will need your child’s osis number and you can get that from your child’s teacher or even the main office. Ms. Becco can give it to you also, just email her at sbecco@schools.nyc.gov.

After you’ve changed the password and created a pin, you can go back to the homepage and click onto teachhub on the top right side of the toolbar. You may or may not have to sign on again.

Remember the username is everything before the @ symbol in the email address and the password is case sensitive.

Once you get into the teachhub, you may not see much, and if that is the case, you should then click on the heading that includes your child’s grade, next to the Welcome.

You will then see a host of apps that your child may need access to, for example: Google Classroom, Zoom, Google Meet, Gmail, etc.

Luego hará clic en la opción del menú: Restablecer la contraseña de su hijo y luego debajo estarán las instrucciones para crear un PIN para la cuenta.

Necesitará el número de osis de su hijo y puede obtenerlo del maestro de su hijo o incluso de la oficina principal. La Sra. Becco también puede entregárselo; envíele un correo electrónico a sbecco@schools.nyc.gov.

Una vez que haya cambiado la contraseña y haya creado un PIN, puede volver a la página de inicio y hacer clic en Teachhub en la parte superior derecha de la barra de herramientas. Es posible que tengas que volver a iniciar sesión o no.

Recuerde que el nombre de usuario es todo lo que está antes del símbolo @ en la dirección de correo electrónico y la contraseña distingue entre mayúsculas y minúsculas.

Una vez que ingrese a Teachhub, es posible que no vea mucho y, si ese es el caso, debe hacer clic en el encabezado que incluye la calificación de su hijo, junto a Bienvenida.
