Dear East-West Families,
Hello and I hope this letter finds you healthy and safe. We are anxiously approaching the 2020-2021 school year and working tirelessly to ensure our academic program meets the needs of all of our 660 students. As of this week 43% of our families have opted for “All Remote Learning” in which their children will receive instruction exclusively at home from teachers using our online platform, the way we have been teaching students since March of this year. The rest of our students will receive a “Blended Learning” structure for September in which they will receive a combination of in-person and remote learning. Students who opt into the blended learning model will be assigned to a group and will come into school one to two times per week to receive in-school instruction and remain home other days to receive online instruction.
New York City has offered schools basically four options for programming students this coming fall. The model that our school chose is aligned to Chancellor’s option# 2 based on data from our parent information session in July 2020, staff and parent surveys, and surveys from the NYC Department of Education.
In order to continue to talk through shifts and answer your questions about the upcoming school year, we will be hosting another family information session on August 26th at 6pm. Please check your email for the link. We hope to see you there!
On July 28th, Principal Cromer discussed East-West's reopening plan for September.
