Consolidation Updates – Sparking Conversations Roundtable
On June 22nd the NYC Writing Project will be organizing a Sparking the Conversation Roundtable during the day.  The conversation roundtable will allow teachers from both schools to speak on a topic or celebration that you want to share.  If you are interested in facilitating a conversation on this day please email Mr. Liu.  There is a NYC Writing Project Coach that will support planning the day as well as per session funding for the planning of the day.
Open Market Hiring System
The New York City Open Market Hiring System has opened and will be available through August. The system is used by teachers and other staff to view and apply for opportunities across the city. The system can be accessed at the following link: https://www.nycenet.edu/offices/dhr/transferplane/default.aspx
End of day procedures (Reminder)
All teachers should ensure that students do not leave class before the end of the day bell rings at 3:00PM/3:45PM.  The tone and culture of every class should promote students asking for permission to leave the classroom, and not that students can freely walk in and out of class during the lesson and at the end of the day.  All teachers must also ensure student chairs are put up at the end of each day. Additionally, all student chairs should be taken down at the beginning of each day. Please have students take down all chairs, even if no one will be sitting in the chair during the period.
