This year picture day is Thursday, March 4th. In prior years, students from different sites were provided transport to the main building to have school/graduation pictures taken. Due to COVID restrictions, we cannot offer the transportation. If you would like your child to have pictures taken you will have to arrange for your child to get to the main site. The same also applies for students that are attending remotely. You will also have to make an appointment for the picture to be taken. Contact the Parent Coordinator, Michele Giacalone at 718-984-1526 ext. 1162 to make an appointment. Thank you.
Chancellor Town Hall Meeting with CCD75, Wednesday, February 3rd, 6 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
The Citywide Council for District 75 (CCD75) will host a Virtual Town Hall Meeting with Chancellor Carranza on February 3, 2021 at 6:00pm.-7:30pm (Chancellor arrives 6:30pm). Before the town hall meeting, we prepared a questionnaire that we would like for the District 75 parents to submit in advance to ask the Chancellor directly during the meeting. Parents will be chosen in advance by the council to ask their question(s). Please indicate: If a language other than English is required.
The questionnaire is also located on the council's website: https://www.cecd75.org/ It is available in the following languages.
Please take survey if you would like your opinion heard regarding reliable technology and internet access for your children.
The letter below is from Techequity. Their mission is to ensure that all children and families across the North Shore of Staten Island have reliable internet access and access to devices to connect to reliable WiFi.
The lack of WiFi access potentially affects the young people we serve by limiting their ability to engage in training and education opportunities which are now largely online due to the pandemic. The lack of access also affects their ability to apply to employment opportunities and potentially engage in jobs which can be done remotely.
Techequity has released a survey for youth and families that aims to analyze how the lack of internet access has impacted their lives. From this data we hope to come up with a community based, immediate solution which will start to address the needs of the people we serve.
If you have any participants who would be interested in taking the survey, please feel free to pass them the link or survey print out. If a participant fills out a paper version of the survey, I'd be more than happy to receive a scanned copy of their filled answers.
Additionally we would love to invite any participants who can speak to experiencing limitations in accessing reliable WiFi. Currently we are planning to share the data we collected to stakeholders either on January 28th or 29th. It would be wonderful to have our local elected hear from our young people.
Thank you all for your collaboration!

Project 10Million is an initiative aimed at delivering internet connectivity to millions of underserved student households at no cost to them. Partnering with school districts across the country, the program offers free wireless hotspots and free high-speed data – and access to at-cost laptops and tablets (up to the value of approximately $500).
And as the COVID-19 pandemic makes remote learning the new norm for millions of students across the U.S., the Un-carrier is enhancing Project 10Million to offer more low-cost data options, including unlimited, for school districts to pass on to student households at no cost to them. Each eligible student can still get the 100GB/year plan for FREE OR their school district can apply that same subsidy value of approx. $500 towards plans that offer more data. One new plan offers 100GB per month - about 3x the data we saw used by students at start of pandemic.
And we’re offering an unlimited option, too. All options are still completely free to students!
