Dear IS 24 Families,

In preparation for the incoming blizzard, Staten Island Technical High School will serve as a Pivot to Remote Device (Chromebook) Distribution Center on:
Sunday, February 22 | 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM.

This center is open to ANY and ALL New York City public school families on Staten Island who need a device in the event we shift to remote instruction on Monday, February 23.

Entrance / Check-In:
• Front Entrance at Clawson Street & Lindbergh Avenue (ADA accessible)
Principal Erlenwein, will be on-site for the full duration to support distribution and assist with basic troubleshooting as needed.

This opportunity is only available if you do not have a device to take part in remote learning in the event the weather forces us to be remote tomorrow. We are thankful to the staff at SI Tech High School for this opportunity and support.

We are pleased to inform you that I.S. 24 is fortunate to be able to offer your child an opportunity to participate in our Self Sustaining After School Program (SSASP). In an effort to enrich your child’s middle school experience we are offering a variety of extra-curricular activities (see below).

Go to nycschoolsurvey.org to complete the school survey. Please contact Mrs.Turano with any questions.

Each Spring, students are administered the English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics exams in grades 6-8 and the Science exam in grade 8. These exams are used to measure how well students perform on New York's Next Generation Learming Standards.

NYC Public Schools is committed to providing a safe, supportive learning environment for all students. Bullying or harassment of any kind is NEVER acceptable, and such actions are subject to the NYC Public Schools Discipline Code: schools.nyc.gov/DisciplineCode.

Please join us in our citywide commitment to foster kindness and respect in our schools during "Respect for All" Week on February 9–13, 2026.
