  Transition to Remote Learning

  Dear PPA Families,

  Given recent increases in transmission, we have reached a point in our City’s infection rate that requires all students to transition to remote learning. Beginning Thursday, November 19, all school buildings will be closed, and all learning will proceed remotely for all students, until further notice. Please note that this is a temporary closure, and school buildings will reopen as soon as it is safe to do so.

  We expect all students to continue following their programs and schedules, adhering to the 6-day rotation.  Please consult the schedule in the Essential Links or in the Banner Alert at the top of the screen.

  For more information, please read Chancellor Carranza's Letter to Families that is attached.  Translations are available: https://www.schools.nyc.gov/about-us/news/chancellor-s-message-for-families 

  Regards,

  PPA Admin
