Learning Environment Surveys

The New York City Department of Education will give the eighth annual Learning Environment Survey to every parent, teacher, and 6-12th grade student citywide. This is an exciting opportunity for the people who know their schools best to tell us what they think.
The voices of parents, students, and teachers count in two important ways. Survey results are reported to school communities and the public through Survey Reports. Survey results also count for 10% of schools’ yearly Progress Report grades. To find out more information about last year’s Learning Environment Survey please look at IS 220 page @  

http://schools.nyc.gov/OA/SchoolReports/2012-13/Survey_2013_K220.pdf

Please be on a lookout for GREEN Survey Envelope that will be distributed during

Parent-Teacher Conferences on February 27.

Good News for all students and their families.

$    On February 25, 26, 27 & 28 all Pershing students will undergo a Vision Screening provided by Helen Keller International/ChildSight. Students that have difficulty seeing will then be seen by a licensed optometrist. A free pair of eye glasses will be provided to the student, or a referral to a local provider for a comprehensive examination.

The screening and glasses are Free of charge.

If your child already wears glasses please make sure he/she brings them to school every day.

 

Reminder: “Parent Rights and Responsibilities” “Parent Bill of Rights” “School Parent Compact” as well as “Parent Involvement Policy” are available in the Parent Coordinator’s office Room 211
