Reminder that Monday, February 1 is a non-attendance day for all students. Finalized Spring programs will be released after the weekend. When report cards are released on February 3, senior families may submit any/all “CR” requests and will receive instructions to do so through parents/guardian Talos accounts no later than February 7 at 6pm in order to be reflected on mid-year transcripts to colleges.

Senior portrait Update
by Ingram Realdina 23 Jan '21

23 Jan '21

Good evening parents of seniors, Apologies for the evening email as I was not advised of this information and just saw that your children were sent this information earlier in the evening via the Student Union. Please direct questions to the faculty advisor of the Indicator Yearbook, Mr. Lonardo at jlonard(a)schools.nyc.gov<mailto:jlonard@schools.nyc.gov>. Enjoy the weekend. Dina Senior Portraits Update: Personal Photographer and Self-Submitted Portraits The Indicator would like to announce that we will no longer be providing the option of a personal photographer to take senior portraits for those that selected that option (as the price would be over $500 per student). We apologize if this causes any inconvenience; however, we will be opening a self-submission option! For portraits, you will have one of the following two options: 1. Studio Portraits: You may continue to sign up for portrait dates at the studio through the following link: https://seniorportraitsscheduling.as.me/STUY. PLEASE SIGN UP ASAP if you are opting to take your portraits in the studio. We strongly encourage you to sign up for weekday appointments if possible, as there are not enough weekend appointments between now and June to accommodate all students. As of January 20, there are dates available up to January 25th. 2. Self-Submitted Portraits: If you cannot take your portrait at the studio, you may send a self-submitted portrait in its place, though we encourage this to be your last resort. We will be releasing information on self-submissions shortly following the end of first semester!

Yearbook Portrait Studio health and safety information
by Ingram Realdina 12 Jan '21

12 Jan '21

Good morning parents and guardians of seniors, In an effort to give you information about the portrait studio, please see the email below from the Indicator Yearbook Editors-in-Chief regarding health and safety information. They continue to work with ways to take photos and are aware along with the administration of concerns. I will continue to update you on information as it becomes available throughout this process. Very best, Dina Dear Parents, Thank you for being patient with us as we manage the logistics of senior portraits! We understand your concerns regarding the studio safety procedures, so we have compiled a file with procedure notes, as well as a Q&A document (which we will continue to update): Procedure Notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OPZ-YUIGcu8hMF9qMwdChvvAU7y0BQZTxI2u5lQ…<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…> Senior Portraits: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-HKZ4MZJzKE0mlcqX2Rbal2ZaepcSbDx-9eVeLG…<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…> Quick Notes: 1. The maximum occupancy is 8 people, including studio staff and photographers. Parents are not allowed inside because we want to minimize density. 2. Temperature will be checked; all students are required to remain 6 feet apart at all times (as denoted by tape placements on the floor). 3. Photographers and staff will be masked at all times. 4. Students must be masked when moving between stations. 5. Students will only be unmasked when taking the portrait. They will be separated from other students with a sheet of plastic. 6. All shared clothing is sanitized with UV exposure and disinfectant immediately following use. Updates: Approximately 300 students have already been photographed or have registered. Regarding Self-Submissions: We will be allowing self-submissions, but at the moment, we are focusing solely on those taking portraits in-person. After we receive all official portraits, we will be cross-referencing the company's list with our senior masterlist to identify students who have not taken their portrait. Then, we will be reaching out to those students with a procedure for how to self-submit. Please check this link<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fseniorpor…> if you intend on taking official portraits. The company will be opening more time slots in late January, but since they will only be able to update one week in advance, we suggest registering now to ensure that you are guaranteed a spot. We have guaranteed that there will be enough time after-school time slots for all students who have indicated in our survey that they will be taking January portraits, but if all students wait until the last week to register, there will not be enough spaces left. Combined with during-school times, there are more than enough spaces to accommodate all students! Please let us know if this poses any difficulties, and we will do our best to work around your situation. Availability for January 18 is currently open (it is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, so there will be no school that Monday); sign up for morning/afternoon sessions if you can! Again, we thank you for your patience as we maneuver these difficult circumstances. We will continue to update Ms. Ingram throughout this process, especially when we get to self-submissions. Please feel free to email us at indicator2021(a)gmail.com<mailto:indicator2021@gmail.com> if you have further questions or concerns! Best wishes, Katie and Margaret” Thank you for helping us convey this message to parents, Ms. Ingram! We are grateful for your support through this.
