• Parent Teacher Conferences

  Parent Teacher Conferences for schools serving grades K-8 will begin on Thursday, May 7. During the COVID-19 pandemic, home is school for most of our students, and families are playing the role of administrators, educators, facilitators, and coaches for student learning. The upcoming Parent Teacher Conferences are an important opportunity for teachers to hear from you about how your child is doing and how remote learning supports are working for your family. 

  Visit the Parent Teacher Conference page to review guidance, which is designed to help families understand how to prepare and what to expect for Parent Teacher Conferences during remote learning. (You can also click here for guidance.)

• Survey for Remote Learning & Services

  Due to the current pandemic of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), the Committee on Outreach for the Citywide Council for District 75 is currently reaching out to the district community and the families remotely.  Since the closure of all NYC public school buildings and the Mayor’s recent announcement to cancel all in-person classroom instruction and services for the rest of the school year, the council will also be canceling all of its Business & Calendar Meetings that are conducted at an open-public setting for the remaining SY 2019-2020.  Currently, we are unable to reschedule any meetings until the NYC Department of Education gives us the guidance to do so either remotely or at a later date when it is safe for our families and community leaders to gather again. 

  To ensure we are continuing to represent the families of District 75 the committee has formatted a survey to gather your opinions and experiences with remote learning and related services during this difficult crisis and school closure.  

  All responses received will be reviewed and be officially reported to the Department of Education by the District 75 Council in order to further assist and accommodate our District 75 students. 

  We appreciate your feedback.  Thank You.

• Mental Health Digital Town Hall

  Please join Councilman Justin Brannan and State Senator Andrew Gounardes for a COVID-19 Mental Health Digital Town Hall on Monday, April 13th at 6pm. The COVID-19 crisis has been such a tough and uncertain time for many of us, so we will have an open discussion on grief, fear, financial anxiety, isolation, and so much more.

  They'll be joined by Jessica Feldman from NAMI NYC-Metro (National Alliance for Mental Illness) and Dr. Nicoletta Pallotta, MD, LCSW founder of Brooklyn Counseling Service.

  If you would like to send in a question beforehand, please email Senator Gounardes at gounardes@nysenate.gov. This event will be live streamed on his Facebook page, so they will also try to answer your questions live.
