Dear Brooklyn City Schools Families,
It is with a profound sense of Hurricane Pride that I write to announce the debut of a new and exciting video celebrating the Tradition, Pride, and Excellence of the Brooklyn City Schools! This video spotlight features interviews with all members of our school community, including students, teachers, staff, administrators, parents, and community members, and highlights the diverse educational and co-curricular opportunities offered to our students. Brooklyn families can learn more about these and many other exciting opportunities offered by the district by watching the new video spotlight on the district’s YouTube channel.
As we approach the start of the second grading period, I want to acknowledge our staff, students, and families for a successful start to the school year. I have watched our students transition back to school this year with relative ease, at the same time being successful academically and contributing outside of the classroom. I am excited for the many fall and winter activities that make this time of year so special for our students, staff, and families.
Here are some important dates as we move towards the busy winter season:
October 13 Fall Parent-Teacher Conferences
October 14 NEOEA Day - No School for Students/Staff
October 17 Inservice Day - No School for Students
November 7 End of First Grading Period
November 8 Inservice/Election Day - No School for Students
November 23 - 25 Thanksgiving Break - No School for Students/Staff
December 19 - January 2 Winter Break - No School for Students/Staff
January 3 Classes Resume from Winter Break
As we begin to prepare for the inclement weather season, please make sure your contact information has been updated in Final Forms. Communication about school closings related to inclement weather will be sent to families via email and text message.
Wishing our entire Brooklyn school community a safe and successful fall season!
Sincerely,
Dr. Theodore Caleris, Superintendent
Brooklyn City Schools
