Dear Class of 2020 parents and guardians, I hope this message finds you in good health! Yesterday, Assistant Principal, Dr. Gary Haber sent your graduates information on returning to Stuyvesant next week to clean out lockers and return textbooks and other items to Stuy. Below is the schedule, particulars and instructions. Additionally, here are some answers to questions/concerns that have come to me in the last 24 hours: * We are aware students do not see their Textbooks/Fees, Locker location and combination and owed items in Talos at this time, and this will be fixed expediently. When it is, the student must follow these directions to view: * Toggle the school year at the top right to 2019-2020 * Toggle the Term to Term 2 * Then click either “Textbooks” or “Lockers” * Family members who are coming in the graduate’s place do not need the graduate’s student ID or a copy. The family member needs to bring their valid photo ID, as per the normal entry procedure in place by School Safety and NYPD for entry to school buildings. We cannot allow a “friend” or “classmate” to take your belongings without consent from the graduate. Reach out to Brian Moran for this at bmoran(a)schools.nyc.gov<mailto:bmoran@schools.nyc.gov>. * If you or a graduate do not know or remember the locker or location; do not worry! We keep track, can assist and are able to provide the location/combination or open the locker. * If your child did not purchase a locker legitimately and/or shared a locker leaving items in a locker that does not belong to them - we will not know the location of that locker and students are strongly discouraged from this and we do not allow selling/trading/buying of lockers. * Any textbooks returned should PLEASE have a post-it or other indication inside the book with the student name and OSIS number, just in case the bar code sticker is removed or fell off the book. * Students with iPads on loan from the DOE should return them to Stuy at this time, we appreciate this. Please see below for Dr. Haber’s message with instructions and read them all carefully. Wishing you and your college students all the very best and missing you much. Dina Dear 2020 Stuyvesant High School Graduates, Greetings! During the week beginning Monday, August 31, 2020 through Friday, September 4, 2020, graduates of the Class of 2020 may return to Stuyvesant High School. You will finally have access to your lockers! You will also be able to drop off your textbooks, pick up your instruments from the music room (if applicable), and return the iPads, computers, and hot spots on loan (if applicable). In order to mitigate the number of students coming to Stuyvesant HS on any given day, please adhere to the schedule below: Monday, August 31, 2020 Homerooms 7AA — 7MM 10:00 am – 12:00 pm Tuesday, September 1, 2020 Homerooms 7NN — 7ZZ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm Wednesday, September 2, 2020 Homerooms 7AA — 7MM 10:00 am – 12:00 pm Thursday, September 3, 2020 Homerooms 7NN — 7ZZ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm Friday, September 4, 2020 Homerooms 7AA — 7ZZ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm Graduates will enter the building 12 at a time.

Fwd: Things to consider before emailing the program office
by Ingram Realdina 22 Aug '20

22 Aug '20

Hello again parents and guardians, So sorry for multiple emails, however, like the program office and as per usual during programming we have many questions coming in. Please see below before sending in a question — these are answers! I’ve answered some notes for parents in RED. Best, Dina Ms. Dina Ingram Director of Family Engagement Stuyvesant High School 347-224-6673 cell ringram3(a)schools.nyc.gov<mailto:ringram3@schools.nyc.gov> www.stuy.edu<http://www.stuy.edu> Read my Blog<https://talos.stuy.edu/hera/blog/feed> on talos.stuy.edu<http://talos.stuy.edu> Follow Stuyvesant on Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/StuyNYC/> @StuyNYC or Twitter<https://twitter.com/StuyNY> @StuyNY “This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential or privileged information. Any unauthorized review, use, disclosure or distribution is prohibited. If you are not an intended recipient, please contact the sender by reply email and destroy all copies of the original message." Begin forwarded message: From: Program Office <programoffice(a)stuy.edu<mailto:programoffice@stuy.edu>> Subject: Things to consider before emailing the program office Date: August 22, 2020 at 1:08:41 PM EDT To: “Class of 2021” <classof2021(a)stuy.edu<mailto:classof2021@stuy.edu>>, Class of 2022 <classof2022(a)stuy.edu<mailto:classof2022@stuy.edu>>, Class of 2023 <classof2023(a)stuy.edu<mailto:classof2023@stuy.edu>> Hi all. Sorry for the second email, but I've been answering a lot of emails. It's been flooding in faster than I can handle. Here are some things you should really keep in mind: 1) The Program Office does not determine who gets into an AP course or not. The department chairs make that decision. The student should be the person who reaches out to the Department Chair with questions. Keep in mind that they are not working until 8/31. Many are checking emails, but not required, and the frequency may not be as quickly as you are accustomed or prefer. 2) The "Current Requests" is the list of AP courses you got into that I will be trying to schedule you for along with other graduation requirements. Unfortunately, if it is blank, it means you did not get into the AP courses you applied for. 3) You applied for a course application and it was approved. You're wondering why the course is not on your list. If you recall, we stated that the course application was to give you permission to select the course during course selection. Students had to use this because they didn't meet requirements to have certain courses appear as options when they made their selections. It is not guaranteeing you a seat. The program office issued emails that were sent to students and families on the definition of ‘approval’ and the right to apply for a course. These are archived in the Document Hub as well in the Program Changes folder which carries all files of instructions. You will need to toggle to the 19-20 school year in the upper right of Talos to refer to them now. 4) You are supposed to consider "Dropping" a course. This is not for Adding or Swapping as I already mentioned in the first email. Take your time to consider this before jumping ahead... I'm not sure who you're racing against... So slow down and breathe... I will try to get to all your emails. -- -- Stuyvesant High School Program Office 345 Chambers St. New York, NY 10282 (212) 312 4800
