New Dawn Charter High School

Good morning,

I hope you all had a good weekend.

Here we are at the end of marking period 3, time is flying. All work needs to be submitted by Thursday 12:30 pm so that grades can be entered. If you are missing assignments, you can e-mail your teachers to get, you have a few days left and can still get this done!

As of today, the June Regents are scheduled to be given with no waivers given. If you are enrolled in a Regents class, you are expected to take them. If this information changes, I will let you know.
As a reminder that all students will be dismissed every Wednesday after 6th period. This is big change in our daily schedule but an important one. This will begin on Beginning on Wednesday April 13th, all students will be dismissed at the close of 6th period at 2:12pm and follow the same way each Wednesday going forward. This will happen with A, B and C week students regardless of if it is their academic or internship week. 6th period classes on Wednesdays will rotate on a weekly basis so that students continue to see their afternoon teachers on a regular basis on these days. This change will allow us vital time for professional development, administrative duties and curriculum/lesson planning which we are hoping will allow us to elevate instruction in every class throughout the week. We hope that this will also allow additional time for our students to complete classwork and internship research papers at home on their own time. We are excited for this change and believe it will be a positive change for both our students and staff going forward.

Thank you to all of you that have been calling the school ahead of time to let us know of students needing to leave early for appointments, this really does help us.

Congratulations to our students that have continued to complete their internship papers, we know this is a great deal of work and effort and it is paying off. Well done!

Dates to be mindful of:

4/14- End of marking period 3
4/15-4/22-Spring Break- School is closed
4/25-School back in session

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out- Have a GREAT week.

Good Afternoon,

I hope you all had a good weekend.

Ramadan Mubarak to those that observe Ramadan.

We are nearing the end of marking period 3, on the 14th. Do make up and hand in any missing assignments soon so that they can be put in Jupiter. As of today, Regents are being given and have not been canceled. If you are scheduled for a Regents class, you will need to take it to fulfill that requirement with waivers not being given. If this information changes, I will let you know.

We are excited that student internships are opening up and students are now starting to be placed. To all new students and families, before COVID students were placed in various business and community settings where they learn and practice valuable workplace skills such as communication, time management, problem-solving, interpersonal skills, etc... Students in the program will be expected to be placed as we gain more sites. Instead of coming to the school, they will report to their site, this will be approximately 20 hours per week. You will be notified once a placement has opened until then you are to report to school during internship week. This is only for A/B week students. If you have any questions please reach out to Ms. Wigfall, Ms. Aska, or me.

Ms. Felder will continue to send out information regarding senior activities so be on the watch for this, some of this is time-sensitive. The senior committee has a lot of fun activities planned.

If you need to leave early please notify the school in the morning so that we are aware and security is properly informed. We do appreciate your help in keeping appointments for times when school is not in session.

· Dates to be mindful of:
· MP3 Ends on 4/14
· 4/15-First day of spring break-school reopens on 4/25

Have a great week,

I do want to take a minute to remind you of our school bullying policy and procedures, which we take very seriously. If you feel you are being bullied or harassed, you can report this on the DASA (Dignity for All Students Act) form on the school website. You can find this under Policy and Procedures, then Public Reporting and Policies. Here you will see the reporting form under DASA-make sure to click on "Brooklyn Campus." You can, of course, speak to any staff person you feel comfortable with here as well. Once the incident is reported, an investigation will occur with appropriate consequences given depending on the outcome. All reporting is confidential as well as the investigation- no names are given out. If you have any questions about this, please let me know.
