2020-2021 Academics

Welcome to our 2020-2021 Academic Page!

This page will serve as your portal for navigating the year as we respond to COVID-19's impact on our school community.  Below, you will find critical information about how PPA is changing the way we operate in order to reduce the risk of COVID transmission and provide high-quality, standards-based instruction in every academic domain throughout the year.

Please check back regularly, as we will update the information here, as well as on PPA's Message Center, as conditions change.  Furthermore, we recommend that you bookmark not only this page, but also the NYC Department of Education's Website.
