Families:

Please see the attached letter regarding summer programming (chapter 683) for your child.

You will be able to say if your child(ren) will be attending, and if so, will it be in person or remote.

We would like to make sure that everyone completes a survey for your child(ren).

The link to complete the survey is included attached, the last day to complete it by is this Friday, April 23rd.

Dear Parent or Guardian,

You are receiving this email because your child’s IEP recommends an Extended School Year (summer) classroom-based special education program and/or Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and/or Speech services. We are pleased to inform you that these programs and services will be available both in-person and remotely this summer. The program will run from Friday July 2^nd, 2021 through Friday, August 13^th, 2021 (the program will be closed on July 5^th and July 20th due to holiday observance).

Please click on the following link to complete a very brief survey to indicate whether you would like to pre-register your child to participate in the program. It is important that you pre-register by April 23^rd to support the planning process and ensure we have up to date contact information for site selection and scheduling purposes:

https://www.nycenet.edu/surveys/summerprogram

Please note the following important information:

You will need your child’s 9-digit student ID number to complete the survey. You can find this number on your child’s IEP or by logging in to your NYC Schools Account and selecting “Student.” If you are unable to locate your child’s ID number, please contact your child’s school, Committee on Special Education, or Committee on Preschool Special Education.

The survey applies to school-age students attending DOE and Charter schools; and preschool students receiving only related services and/or SEIT or enrolled in special classes in 3-K or Pre-K for All programs. If you are not sure which services your child should have for the summer, you can find this information on the “12-Month Programs and Services” section of their IEP.

Summer programs and services will be offered primarily in-person at designated sites in each of the five boroughs. You may indicate on the survey if your child will attend only if all recommended program(s) and/or service(s) are offered remotely.

The DOE will provide information about the site(s) where summer IEP programs and services will take place later in the spring. If your child will be receiving related services only, we will schedule your child for a specific appointment time at the site you select.

If your child currently receives related services from a contract provider and will be enrolled in a 3-K or Pre-K for All program in the fall, we will typically seek to provide 10-month school year (September – June) services at that site, unless otherwise specified by the IEP. Your child will likely be assigned a new provider at that time. In the meantime, if your child’s IEP recommends Extended School Year services (6 weeks during July and August), you may contact the CSE to request that the DOE retain the therapist who worked with your child during the 2020 -2021 school year to continue this summer at a location consistent with the IEP.

If you have questions or require assistance with the survey, please contact us at specialeducation@schools.nyc.gov.

Sincerely,

The Special Education Office

If you have any questions, please contact the Parent Coordinator Natisha Singh at nsingh21@schools.nyc.gov.

A message from our Interim Acting Principal

Dear Parents, Guardians and loved ones.

February 2021

My name is Jonathan Lonshein, and I have both the honor and privilege of assuming the reigns of leadership as the Interim Acting Principal of P993Q until a new principal is appointed. Prior to this, I have been an Assistant Principal at P993Q for our revered and now retired former Principal Jacqueline Zaretsky.

Everyone across the school community will miss Ms. Zaretsky’s purposeful leadership, her infectious smile, depth of instructional knowledge, equaled only by her kindness and of course her universal presence in our day-to-day activities. We wish her the very best of joy in her retirement and know that Ms. Zaretsky’s profound contributions to our students will live on always.

Our lives are radically different now than they were one year ago. Despite the numerous changes and challenges we have experienced; I want to assure you that the accomplished staff of P993Q will continue to provide highly effective and exceptional instruction to our students. I will not hesitate to tout the quality of instruction and the immense dedication of our teachers, paraprofessionals, and related service providers that I have observed over the years.

Thank you for entrusting your precious children to the P993Q community; we will continue to put them first and their safety will be our utmost priority. I encourage you to reach out to me, to any of the assistant principals or the parent coordinator with questions, thoughts, and concerns. I look forward to meeting with you all virtually and in-person in the coming days and weeks. Please continue to be on the look-out for on-going communications from the Department of Education and our P993Q community.

Thank you very much.

Respectfully,

Jonathan Lonshein
