Dear Families,
Just a reminder that Winter Break begins this Friday, December 24 and runs through Sunday, January 2. Students will report back to school on Monday, January 3, 2022.
On behalf of the entire faculty and staff of IS 381, we wish you and your families a happy, healthy, and joyous Holiday Season and a wonderful New Year!
Please see below a letter from Superintendent Bove:
Dear Parents,
I hope this letter finds you and your family well. This has been a year marked with hope as we welcomed our students back to school with our NYC Homecoming. Students are happy to be among their friends and teachers. As I visit schools, I am inspired by the special attention teachers give their students both academically and emotionally. Schools have planned morning and/or after school programs to assist identified students in making a full academic recovery. If you have questions about such programs, please reach out to your parent coordinator.
In a few days, we will commence our winter break. Students are reminded to remain engaged with their studies, and always continue to read. I look forward to taking out my favorite book and read for the love of reading. If possible, plan activities with your child(ren), even baking cookies enforces so many math skills, but more importantly, you will be sharing quality time!
During the winter break, please continue to stress the guidelines we have learned from CDC:
- wash our hands well
- wear masks that cover mouth and nose
- physically distance
- receive frequent COVID testing
- vaccinate, as age appropriate
- receive boosters, as age appropriate
If you need information about the different sites available for testing and vaccinations, check the D22 website at www.csd22.org. Our amazing parent liaisons, Linda and Heather, update it regularly.
Let me take this opportunity to wish you and your family health, peace, and love during this holiday season.
Julia Bove
Community Superintendent
