What can families do to prepare for school during the summer?
We would like parents to click on the following link: NYC Family Guide
Parents can learn about each subject areas academic standards and expectations. They can also get tips on how to work with teachers to provide the best possible education for their child. Each family handbook is grade specific (9-12 is grouped together) and available in nine languages!
Please use this time to explore this website and the school blog as well!
School Supplies
EWSIS will supply all students with an official homework/project planner that must be used and reviewed by parents/guardians daily. Each will teacher has an individualized list of certain supplies that he/she will request from students. However, all EWSIS students can be observed using the following:
- Composition notebooks
- Black/blue pens
- Pencils
- Index cards
- Highlighters
- Covered sharpeners
- Folders with two bottom pockets.
- Our teachers also find it very helpful when students offer boxes of tissues and paper towels.
Transportation
ORDER NOW TO ENSURE DELIVERY BEFORE SCHOOL BEGINS. Do not wait until Summer Bridge to purchase uniforms.
If you are unsure about sizing, it is a good idea to order a larger size. You can visit Ideal Uniform's office to purchase uniforms in person. The link below has more information.
