Attached to this email are several resources that were created specifically for families. These materials are meant to help guide conversations with your child, support your student emotionally, or even support yourself as you navigate an experience that may be just as difficult for adults as it is for children.
When students return to school, there will be supports in place to ensure their emotional needs are taken care of and that they feel safe, supported, and heard during this sad time. Our counselors, administrators, and staff will be available to students as they transition back and continue to process this loss.
If you have any particular concerns about your child. or would simply like to reach out, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s grade Assistant Principal or School Counselor at any time. We are here to support you and your family.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Starting in the 2025-26 school year, personal internet-enabled devices-like smartphones, tablets, and smart watches -cannot be used during
the school day, as required by state law.

This change helps reduce distractions and encourages deeper participation in class, so
students can stay engaged from bell to bell.

Students can use their devices when traveling to and from school, but they must have them turned
off and stored during the school day.

					<description><![CDATA[Staying Healthy This Winter Season



Dear I.S. 24 Students and Families,


This winter, viruses like the flu, COVID-19, RSV, and the common cold are spreading around rapidly. These viruses are more common in colder months, especially when people are indoors more often. Protect yourself with following these suggested practices.

    

How to protect you and your child from illness:

Wash your hands with soap and water often! When soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Vaccinate. Keep your children up to date on their immunizations and get the whole family annual flu shots.
Practice covering your mouth and nose into a tissue when coughing or sneezing. This can help viruses spread through droplets made when coughing, sneezing, or talking.
Avoid close contact with those who are sick.
Stay home when you are sick. Do not return to school unless free of a fever.
Avoid spreading germs by not touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces.


What to do if you are feeling sick?

Stay home. Avoid close contact with other and stay home from school or work.
Get sufficient sleep. Extra sleep can help boost your immune system and can even shorten the duration of your illness.
Hydrate and humidify. Drink lots of fluids like water, warm tea, and soups. Run a humidifier or spend time in a steamy bathroom to ease congestion.
Treat your symptoms. See your doctor if symptoms get worse or won't go away.]]></description>

These times are when students are working to complete end of period tasks and or are moving from the schoolyard back to the Gymnasium during PE class, returning band instruments, and the yellow school buses are preparing to receive students at 2:20pm. If you are picking up your child because you wish for them to not ride a bus or meet you somewhere, please call the school and we will share the message with your child so they know not to ride a bus or meet you somewhere on school grounds when we dismiss at 2:20pm. Please assist us in limiting disruptions near the end of the day. All I.S. 24 Parents and Guardians are asked to keep this information in mind when deciding to pick up a student early from school for an appointment or any family need.]]></description>

				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.barnes24.org/apps/news/article/1183980</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[Dear I.S. 24 School Community of Students, Families and Staff,

 I felt it was necessary to communicate with you at this time. Much has happened locally and nationally and many of us are left confused, stunned and needing answers. Today some information was released to school's and I want to try and assist with your concerns regarding Coronavirus and schools. 

To keep the information short and digestible I will share many notes in bullet format. Some things you should be aware of are as follows;

+Please do not follow the rumors or social media inaccuracies. Facts will be shared in real time through the Mayor's Office and Department of Education which will then be made public by our school through the following tools;
website: www.barnes24.org
instagram: 24prideofgk
facebook: I.S. 24 Myra S. Barnes
Pupilpath Message
Phoneblast Messages

+Our school will never answer a question regarding if someone (student or staff) is ill. That is private and is protected under the law. Please do not call the school and flood the phone lines as they are needed for official business, emergencies, etc. Our school will never deny or confirm any information unless its confirmed and approved to be released so please do not become challenging with whoever assists you over the phone. This is all new to everyone.

+We are preparing for the end of the third marking period on March 27th. Many parents are concerned about grades, attendance, schoolwork, etc. Much of that information will be shared here and in communication next week as well. For as long as school is open Teachers will be delivering instruction and students are expected in school. If a parent chooses to keep their child home its a parent/family decision. We are here and learning is still taking place. 

+If a parent decides to keep a student home for these reasons below the student is absent from school but it can be excused. An absence is the physical presence of a student not taking place. If you have heard of a "Code 14" for an excused absence it can only be used for the reasons below. 

Students are staying home with flu-like symptoms of respiratory illness that may indicate COVID-19, such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath.
Students have returned from COVID-19 affected areas and are self-quarantined. 
Students are absent due to exposure from COVID-19 and possess a doctor’s note (although the note is not required to use Reason Code 14).
Families/caregivers choose to keep students home in an effort to reduce their child’s or family member's risk to COVID-19 exposure.

+Attendance of students with excused absences from March 12-April 3 will not be harmed if a student is a candidate for Arista and attendance is less than satisfactory.

+The school is being cleaned as usual everyday but a specific cleaning schedule by order of the DoE is allowing for surface cleaning two times a week by the Custodian.

+Teachers and Staff will begin working on creating assignments and tasks in the event students are not attending school in the coming days as we get direction from the NYC DoE. 

As a reminder, I am here with you and for you. I am a member of this school community in more ways than one and I am living this with you. Please remember to breathe, follow all CDC and and local health directives and live your life as best you can with the information you have. We will get through this...I promise. 

Sincerely,

 
Lenny Santamaria
Principal]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dear I.S. 24 Families,

We hope you, our students, and the rest of your family are well. 

By now you have heard our Mayor and Schools Chancellor announced on Sunday the City will move towards a new Remote Learning Model for all school days until Spring Recess. Students will not report to school buildings for instruction during this time. School buildings are scheduled to reopen to students following Spring Recess on Monday, April 20, 2020.

Not every school will be doing everything alike so please be aware that no schools are exactly alike. 

Please expect us to provide more information in a few days to you and your student(s) regarding what to expect. This is new for everyone and we are adjusting with you. Our Staff, Teachers and all Support Staff will be preparing in a few days and will hope to have some guidance. 

We are with you in this new reality and uncertainty. 

Sincerely,

 
Lenny Santamaria
Principal]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dear I.S. 24 School Community,
Recent events have forced the DoE to not maintain formal Parent-Teacher Conferences in person this week in Middle Schools throughout NYC out of an abundance of caution. However, Teachers and Support Staff will be sharing information and calling parents and communicating between the hours of 4:30pm-7:30pm on Thursday and 12:00pm-2:00pm on Friday of this week. Parents are asked to not come to the school for meetings as Teachers/Staff will be communicating from locations other than the school building such as home or alternate locations. 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we appreciate everyone's support on this matter.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[On behalf of the NYC DoE School's Chancellor Richard Carranza I am sharing the following message related to Parent-Teacher Conferences Thursday and Friday of this week;

"The health and safety of all students, staff, and families continues to be the DOE’s first priority. Based on current recommendations from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and in an abundance of caution, we are asking all middle schools to use phone or technology-based options to conduct March Parent Teacher Conferences this week."

"Parent Teacher Conferences scheduled for Thursday evening and Friday afternoon will still take place; however, parents should not attend in person. Instead, we are asking that Parent Teacher Conferences occur by phone or virtually." 

Our school will release more details in the next few hours today regarding how to plan for this. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we release more information to you shortly. Please make note that Friday, March 13th is still a half-day of school with an 11:00am dismissal.

Respectfully,
 

Lenny Santamaria

Principal]]></description>
