by Dina Ingram Nov. 21, 2024

Nov. 21, 2024

Dear Students, Please review the following instructions and key information to request and/or apply for elective/PE selective for the 2024-2025 Spring semester. This process is intended for you to make requested elective selections using the preference form, which then allows our Program Office to determine preliminary schedules for the entire school. Please note, this is a preference form only. No request is binding and no student is guaranteed a seat in a course. While we try to honor requests, an approval to apply for a course does not guarantee a seat in the course/class. Approval to apply for a course indicates that you may request a seat—NOTE: Final seat assignments are pending based on space, course availability, and Administration oversight. This document<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zmCiQhCTGT89Y7JrHqeMKSCIA8ND3i-3ZGoOgqJ…> contains instructions (with screenshots) and an FAQ which we will be updating regularly. Please take the time to review the document and FAQ regularly. Also, please review the important reminders below: • Course requests are NOT on a first come, first serve basis--you do NOT get preference if you are the first one to finish your selections; therefore, take your time in thoughtfully determining which courses you prefer to request. o Visit the Course Search<https://talos.stuy.edu/core/courses> part of Talos to research before making your requests. • 2024-2025 Spring elective course requests will open: o For SENIORS Thursday, November 21, 2024 at 4:00 pm o For JUNIORS Friday, November 22, 2024 at 12:00 pm o For Freshmen/Sophomores Friday, November 22, 2024 at 4:00 pm • The form will close for ALL GRADES on Monday, December 2, 2024 at 12:00pm • Go to <http://stuy.mytalos.com/> https://talos.stuy.edu<https://talos.stuy.edu/>/ to make your requests at your assigned time.   • If you are a student athlete, you must fill out the ZQT-10 form to request a free 10th period by December 1, 2024 and read all stipulations and details here: https://forms.gle/pvZ4jsamvyafwb8L6 DIRECTIONS: You should see three tabs: Dashboard; Grades; and Graduation Requirements. Dashboard is an overview and contains your current choices, your schedule, and your course applications (see below). The Grades tab has your transcript data and is used to determine your eligibility to select certain courses. The Graduation Requirements tab contains a table — red represents “not fulfilled”, yellow represents “in progress”, and green indicates “fulfilled”. The “Course Selection Form” button will provide a form for you to select the courses you are eligible to apply for and request. It will appear when you are allowed to make selections, Please consult the course eligibility rule, found by searching the course on the course list (located in the menu on the left) if you do not see a course you may be ineligible to take it. Please note, this is a preference form only. No request is binding and no student is guaranteed a seat in a course.Seniors are prioritized for courses to meet graduation requirements. A full list of courses we plan to offer in the spring can be found at the link below: 242 COURSES CATALOG<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-jmzmHhxkPQKTzspBt3GIlrZlX1s63r3uBm…> Students with questions should contact their school counselor through Talos.

PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE REQUEST INSTRUCTIONS
by Dina Ingram Nov. 7, 2024

Nov. 7, 2024

November 6, 2024 Dear Parents/Guardians, As announced, requests for Parent Teacher Conference phone calls open on your Talos account on Thursday, November 7, 2024 at 8:00 am. Requests may be made through Thursday, November 14, 2024 at 5:00 pm. There is no other way to make requests except through your Talos account. Please read this email thoroughly. Confirmed appointments will be emailed on Tuesday, November 19, 2024. Not all requests will be filled. It’s important to put your requests in priority order and remember this is not your only opportunity to discuss or request information from teachers on your child’s progress. Parent engagement is ongoing throughout the year. The Parent Teacher Conferences (PTC) will take place via phone calls on: Thursday, November 21 from 5:30pm to 8:00pm and/or Friday, November 22, from 1:00pm to 3:00pm. Parents/Guardians with Talos accounts received report cards via email on October 29, 2024. We encourage you to use your JupiterEd account to view your child’s progress. If you need assistance with JupiterEd, please reach out to Eric Lin at elin41(a)schools.nyc.gov. You also have access to report cards on your NYC Schools Account or on Talos by clicking ‘grades’ then ‘MP1’. Timeframe to request appointments: BEGIN: Thursday, November 7, 2024 at 8:00am CONCLUDE: Thursday, November 14, 2024 at 5:00pm * Requests are not first come/first serve. * Fill out the form anytime between 8:00 am Thursday, November 7 and Thursday, November 14 at 5:00 pm. * No appointments will be assigned until after the request period ends. Important Details – READ THOROUGHLY * There is one form for each student. * The last data set entered on the Talos PTC form is remembered by the system no matter whichparent/guardian fills it out. * If there are special circumstances in split households which require individual conferences by court order, please reach out to Ms. Ingram or Ms. Tang to discuss. * Be sure to indicate if you need interpretation services on the form. * Conferences with teachers are 5 minutes each or 8 minutes if interpretation is needed. * Conferences with counselors are 10 minutes each or 12 minutes if interpretation is needed. * Please be sure to carefully review the phone number you enter on the form as we cannot change it for you. If you make a mistake, correct it before November 14, and save the form again or you will have to contact teachers when you receive appointments to update them. * CHECK YOUR PHONE NUMBER! We cannot change the phone number once you enter it after November 14. You will have to contact all your teachers to change a phone number. * Be available on your appointment date to answer calls that say “unknown”, “private” or “unlisted” on November 21/November 22 as teachers may call from private phone numbers. * Remember: you are making requests, not appointments. The copy of your requests is NOT a confirmation of appointments or a schedule. You will be programmed for as many appointments as possible in the allotted time by an algorithm. You will receive confirmed appointments via email on Tuesday, November 19. INSTRUCTIONS: * Go to your parent account at talos.stuy.edu (this form is not available on student accounts) * [A green square with black text Description automatically generated.png] If you encounter difficulty accessing your parent account, or you do not have one, please contact Ms. Ingram at ringram3(a)schools.nyc.gov * If you have more than one child at Stuyvesant, you MUST FIRST choose the student from your Home Page. * Click the “PTC” button beside your student’s photo. (it is GREEN and says PTC) Note: some students do not have photos on Talos - the green PTC button is beside the student's name. Also note: you will NOT see this button until 8:00am on your Talos account. Do not email us indicating the button is not there. It will be there at 8:00am on November 7, 2024. * Fill out your form ranking the teachers in priority order. (i.e. Choice 1 is the teacher you most wish to speak with) * Click the “SAVE” button. A Green box will appear in the upper right corner of the screen with a checkmark and the word “saved”. * You will always see what you entered on that page once it’s saved. If your form is blank the next time you log in to Talos and click PTC, then you didn’t click the “save” button, and no requests were made. * You will receive an email with a copy of your requests to the email address logged in on Talos at the time the requests were made. This is also not a confirmation of appointments. It is a copy of your requests. * You may edit your choices until 5:00 pm on November 14. * REMEMBER: If a second parent/guardian makes changes, the form will update. For this reason, only ONE parent should fill out the form on Talos. Receiving appointments & Tips You will be notified on Tuesday, November 19 via email with a schedule of which teachers will call you, along with the date and time (this information is not displayed in your Talos account). * IMPORTANT: You may not be scheduled for ALL your requests – this is NOT an error. The number of teachers that parents will speak to is dependent upon the number of parents that sign up; how many teachers they are interested in speaking to; and the number of appointments that can be scheduled in the allotted time frame including translation time and counselor assignment, which extends conferences. * Indicating availability on either date increases probability of programming options within the slots available in the algorithm. * Please do not contact teachers outside of Talos asking them to “add” you to their schedule. Teachers will have calls scheduled during their allotted time frame on November 21 and/or November 22. You may contact teachers at any time during the year to speak about your concerns. Parent engagement is ongoing throughout the year. * Parents/Guardians of students in grade 11 & 12 will be prioritized to see College Counselors if chosen. * Parents/Guardians in all grades 9-12 may opt to see a School Counselor. Priority will be given to grades 9 and 10 if chosen. * Changes cannot be made once appointments are distributed. * Parents of students with IEPs may select to see a special education teacher. * Requests to speak to the Assistant Principal to discuss special education should be made directly to Ms. Paulson at gpaulson(a)schools.nyc.gov<mailto:gpaulson@schools.nyc.gov> after you receive your appointments so that you do not schedule a call in conflict with your conferences that will be scheduled. * If you are not scheduled to receive a phone call from a teacher you need to speak with, please wait until after November 19 to request information from them. * If a teacher is absent on PTC, they will contact you to arrange a mutually agreeable alternate time to have the phone call; we cannot 'fill in' your schedule with more calls due to absences. All the best, Stuyvesant High School Dina Ingram Business Manager/ Director of Family Engagement Stuyvesant High School 212-312-4800 ext. 2731 - Office 347-224-6673 - Mobile www.stuy.edu https://tinyurl.com/StuyBlog
