Monthly Update from Mrs. Knights
Dear BLES families,
Due to the rise in positive COVID-19 cases in NYC, effective Thursday, November 19, 2020, school buildings are closed. We will move immediately into remote learning. This will look similar to your child's current remote instructional days. Scholars will participate in synchronous (LIVE) and asynchronous lessons and activities in reading, math, science, social studies/writing and phonics across the day. Our remote program will begin at 8:30 and end at 2:00 Monday-Friday.
Beginning on November 23, 2020, your child will follow a slightly modified schedule. Just like in the spring, scholars will be with their regular classroom teacher(s) 4 days a week. On one day of the week, they will participate in STEM, Movement/P.E, Reader's Theater and/or Science. Please accept the invites into these classrooms so that your children can fully participate in our Remote Instructional Program.
During the period of Remote Learning, Town Hall will only be held for special events such as Guest Reader Day and the upcoming Holiday Show.
We are hopeful that the number of cases will decrease and we can return to in-person learning sooner rather than later. Continue to watch the local news and look out for additional information regarding school reopening via our school app, school website or social media sites (Instagram, Facebook and Twitter)
As always, please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. I can be reached at joycek@brooklynlandmark.org.
Stay safe and be well!
In partnership,.
