Next week is national "Teacher Appreciation Week!" Now, more than ever, we really want to recognize the amazing work our teachers do for our kids.
Here are some ideas for students and/or parents to show their teachers how much they appreciate them:
* simply write an email
* make a card and send a picture of it via email or Remind
* make paper flowers and send it via email or Remind
* if your child is doing a Google Meet--make a paper background reading "thank you" or "we miss you!"
* make a video showing your appreciation
* write a poem
* ask your child how they'd like to show their appreciation (they may have a terrific idea!)
* take a picture of your child working hard at home and send it via email or Remind
* create a word cloud--write all the words that come to mind about their teacher and make a design with those words
* make a promise: "When this is all done... " (Examples: "I'm going to give you the biggest hug." Or, "I'll bring you an extra large box of chocolates").
* send a virtual hug
* please remember, it doesn't have to be grand, just heartfelt!
And, if you have a great idea, please share it with us!

পরের সপ্তাহে জাতীয় "শিক্ষকের প্রশংসা সপ্তাহ!" এখন, আগের চেয়ে আরও বেশি, আমরা সত্যই আমাদের শিক্ষকদের আমাদের বাচ্চাদের জন্য যে আশ্চর্যজনক কাজ করে তা স্বীকৃতি দিতে চাই।
শিক্ষার্থীদের এবং / বা অভিভাবকদের জন্য তাদের শিক্ষকদের তাদের কতটা প্রশংসা করার তা বোঝানোর জন্য এখানে কিছু ধারণা রয়েছে:
* কেবল একটি ইমেল লিখুন
* একটি কার্ড তৈরি করুন এবং ইমেল বা অনুস্মারকের মাধ্যমে এর একটি ছবি প্রেরণ করুন
* কাগজের ফুল তৈরি করুন এবং ইমেল বা অনুস্মারকের মাধ্যমে প্রেরণ করুন
* যদি আপনার শিশু কোনও গুগল মিটিং করছে - একটি কাগজের পটভূমিটি "ধন্যবাদ" বা "আমরা আপনাকে মিস করছি!"
* আপনার প্রশংসা দেখানোর জন্য একটি ভিডিও তৈরি করুন
* একটি কবিতা লিখুন
* আপনার সন্তানকে জিজ্ঞাসা করুন যে তারা কীভাবে তাদের প্রশংসা প্রদর্শন করতে চান (তাদের একটি ভয়ঙ্কর ধারণা থাকতে পারে!)
* আপনার সন্তানের বাড়িতে কঠোর পরিশ্রম করার একটি ছবি নিন এবং এটি ইমেল বা অনুস্মারকের মাধ্যমে প্রেরণ করুন
* একটি শব্দ মেঘ তৈরি করুন - তাদের শিক্ষক সম্পর্কে মনে আসে এমন সমস্ত শব্দ লিখুন এবং সেই শব্দগুলি দিয়ে একটি নকশা তৈরি করুন
* একটি প্রতিশ্রুতি দিন: "যখন এটি শেষ হয়ে যায় ..." (উদাহরণস্বরূপ: "আমি আপনাকে সবচেয়ে বড় আলিঙ্গন দেব" "বা," আমি আপনার জন্য চকোলেটগুলির একটি বড় বড় বাক্স আনব ")।
ভার্চুয়াল আলিঙ্গন প্রেরণ করুন
* দয়া করে মনে রাখবেন, এটি গ্র্যান্ড হতে হবে না, কেবল আন্তরিক!
এবং, আপনার যদি দুর্দান্ত ধারণা থাকে তবে দয়া করে এটি আমাদের সাথে ভাগ করুন!

Dear PS 212 Families,
If you are waiting for an iPad from the DOE or you have received one. You must read and follow all directions in the box provided. You must log on with your child’s DOE information. If you set it up with your own information the device will not work and you will have to contact tech support. You can find more information here: https://www.schools.nyc.gov/learn-at-home/ipad-distribution/getting-started-with-your-ipad.
Thank you and we wish you all good health.

Dear P.S. 212 Families,
There is a new scam where people call your homes and say that they are from the Department of Education. They are saying that you will receive in iPhone instead of an iPad. This is not true, and it is a scam to try to get your personal information. The DOE is providing iPads to families who completed the remote link and you will receive an email from the DOE with your delivery information. Do not respond to these people. Have a nice weekend. Stay safe. Carin Ellis, Principal.

- Do not receive meal assistance from other providers (incl. Meals on Wheels or God's Love We Deliver); and
- You are unable to afford meal delivery or grocery delivery
Households that qualify may place an order once every two days. Each order will contain two days of meals (4 meals per person in the household, but no household will receive more than 8 meals per delivery).
Free Meals: https://www.schools.nyc.gov/school-life/food/free-meals
The New York City Department of Education is committed to making three free meals available daily for any New Yorker. Any New Yorker who wants one can get three free meals a day at more than 400 Meal Hubs across the city.
- Meals can be picked up at all Meal Hubs 7:30 am to 1:30 pm, Monday through Friday
- Meals Hubs will operate for children and families from 7:30 am to 11:30 am, and for adults from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm
- No one will be turned away at any time
- All adults and children can pick up three meals at one time
- Vegetarian and halal options available at all sites

Dear parents we hope you are faring well in this most difficult time.
We hope you and your families are healthy.
The DOE is no longer allowing us to use Zoom so please bear with us as we set up a new remote communication platform.
We realize that Thursday and Friday are very holy days for many people in our community. We are working on providing the children with virtual tours and other activities.
To all fifth-grade parents you will be able to access your child’s middle school placement by the end of this week by going on to your child’s MYSchools account. Please be patient. If you do not have your log on information please contact Olga Flores at oflores3@schools.nyc.gov
We hope that you get to celebrate these holidays with your families even if it’s remotely.
Have a great week and stay healthy.
Sincerely,
From staff at PS212Q
March 13, 2020
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Good afternoon. Most importantly, I hope everyone in your family is healthy. Thank you for your support during this unique situation. We have all been trying to navigate this situation and do all we can to keep everyone healthy. The Department of Education has informed us of the following:
· All trips are canceled
· Starting Monday, all non – academic activities after school activities are canceled. Beautiful Me, Zumba, Robotics, Casa, Inside Broadway
· Academic after school activities will continue.
In case schools are closed, due to the Coronavirus, we do not want to disrupt your child’s education. Therefore, every teacher, on every grade, plus the administration will provide students with work. We are developing a plan to communicate the work to every family. We sent home a survey about the technology each family has. Please fill out the survey and return it to us as soon as possible. This survey will help guide us with our communication plan. If parents keep their children home due to fear, it is considered an absence. However, it will be coded differently than other absences.
We will continue to have the children wash their hands throughout the day, wash down the desks, door knobs, and keyboards. We are teaching the children not to put their hands on their face, not to share food etc. Please keep your child home if they are ill.
We are having an SLT meeting on Monday, March 16 at 2:30 to discuss and plan for this situation. All parents are invited to attend.
Please try to keep calm. If you have any questions please send a note, an email, call the office or our parent coordinator. Please check the DOE website and the news to check for school closings. If our school is closed we will send out a Robo call. Have a nice weekend.
Thank you,
Carin Ellis

NYC Food Delivery Assistance: https://cv19engagementportal.cityofnewyork.us/#/display/5e7555117ad6750216160409
The City of New York is providing assistance to New Yorkers during the COVID-19 crisis by delivering meals to those who cannot access food themselves. This website is intended for individuals and families who meet all of the following criteria as a result of the COVID-19 emergency:
- No members of the household can go out and get food because they are at increased medical risk or homebound.
- No neighbors or family members can go out and get food for you.
- Do not receive meal assistance from other providers (incl. Meals on Wheels or God's Love We Deliver); and
- You are unable to afford meal delivery or grocery delivery
Households that qualify may place an order once every two days. Each order will contain two days of meals (4 meals per person in the household, but no household will receive more than 8 meals per delivery).

Dear parents we hope you are faring well in this most difficult time.
We hope you and your families are healthy.
The DOE is no longer allowing us to use Zoom so please bear with us as we set up a new remote communication platform.
We realize that Thursday and Friday are very holy days for many people in our community. We are working on providing the children with virtual tours and other activities.
To all fifth-grade parents you will be able to access your child’s middle school placement by the end of this week by going on to your child’s MYSchools account. Please be patient. If you do not have your log on information please contact Olga Flores at oflores3@schools.nyc.gov
We hope that you get to celebrate these holidays with your families even if it’s remotely.
Have a great week and stay healthy.
Sincerely,
From staff at PS212Q

Dear Parents and Guardians,
Good afternoon. Most importantly, I hope everyone in your family is healthy. Thank you for your support during this unique situation. We have all been trying to navigate this situation and do all we can to keep everyone healthy. The Department of Education has informed us of the following:
· All trips are canceled
· Starting Monday, all non – academic activities after school activities are canceled. Beautiful Me, Zumba, Robotics, Casa, Inside Broadway
· Academic after school activities will continue.
In case schools are closed, due to the Coronavirus, we do not want to disrupt your child’s education. Therefore, every teacher, on every grade, plus the administration will provide students with work. We are developing a plan to communicate the work to every family. We sent home a survey about the technology each family has. Please fill out the survey and return it to us as soon as possible. This survey will help guide us with our communication plan. If parents keep their children home due to fear, it is considered an absence. However, it will be coded differently than other absences.
We will continue to have the children wash their hands throughout the day, wash down the desks, door knobs, and keyboards. We are teaching the children not to put their hands on their face, not to share food etc. Please keep your child home if they are ill.
We are having an SLT meeting on Monday, March 16 at 2:30 to discuss and plan for this situation. All parents are invited to attend.
Please try to keep calm. If you have any questions please send a note, an email, call the office or our parent coordinator. Please check the DOE website and the news to check for school closings. If our school is closed we will send out a Robo call. Have a nice weekend.
Thank you,
Carin Ellis
