Office of Council Member Julie Won  Participatory Budgeting

The Office of Council Member Julie Won (District 26) is excited to announce their new cycle of Participatory Budgeting is up and running.

What is Participatory Budgeting?

To give you a brief overview, City Council Participatory Budgeting (PB) is a democratic process that allows residents to directly influence how $1 Million of the city’s capital budget is allocated. Through PB, community members can propose, discuss, and vote on projects that address local needs and priorities. This process fosters greater transparency, encourages civic engagement, and empowers residents to have a say in how public funds are spent.

 

Students, Parents/Guardians and peers are encouraged to volunteer as Budget Delegates! Budget delegates to propose and vote on projects that could improve local neighborhoods, parks, schools, or other public spaces. This is a unique chance for students ages 11 and up to volunteer, learn about outreach, and engage in civic activities that directly impact the future of your city! We will give citations to those who attend the meetings regularly and we are more than happy to sign off volunteer hours.

 

Questions? Contact District 26 at District26@Council.nyc.gov. The idea submission form, is open until November 30th.

2. Click “Sign In” to proceed.

 

Step 3: Navigate to Google Classroom

1. Once logged in, you will be directed to the TeachHub Dashboard.

2. Scroll down to the Learning section and click on Google Classroom. This will open your child’s Google Classroom account.

 

Step 4: Access Your Child’s Google Classrooms

Family Income Inquiry Form SY24-25 (Formerly Meal Forms)

Families, regardless of income, are asked to complete a 2024-2025 Family Income Inquiry Form (formerly known as School Meals Form) so that our school can receive additional funding.  You do not have to give any income information if you are certain that you don't qualify, however the NYC DOE asks that families submit the form. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Although students no longer need to apply to receive free meals, we do encourage families to complete the online form one of the following ways:

1. Please click this link to access the Family Income Inquiry Form: https://www.myschoolapps.com/ Forms submitted online are processed quickly and you will receive immediate confirmation that your form was submitted.  Please retain the confirmation information.

2.  If you prefer to fill this out by hand have your child stop by Room 135 for an application. Please note that it may take longer to process your application if you file via paper.

 

Cafeteria Offerings Survey (SY24-25)

We are encouraging Students and Families to provide feedback regarding cafeteria offerings via this survey. Note that the survey takes approximately three minutes to complete and will be open until December 13.

 

September 23rd

Please Do Not Share Locks

We are reaching out to you to ask you to talk to your child about how and where they store their belongings in school. We want to share this information with you so that your child's items remain safe. 

Below is a list of how many combination locks your child needs. 

1. For Physical Education. Every student needs their own lock for Physical Education. This is a lock that is only used in the gym.  The large communal locker is just during their PE class to lock their backpack. Nothing should ever be left in a gym locker that is not locked.  At the end of class, your child will then use the smaller locker when they are done for the period to lock their gym uniform using this same lock.

2. Every student needs a second lock for their shop class.  Sharing a lock inevitably leads to items being lost and students being locked out of their belongings when some other student is absent. 

3. Depending on what class you child has period 8, your child will need a third lock for their coat. All students need this third lock unless they have shop period 8. Otherwise, every student needs a third lock for their coat. If your child is unsure where to put their coat, please have them go to room 141, the Deans office, for more information.

Please discuss this with your child. The best place to buy a lock is at our SO Store. We keep the combinations on file in case your child forgets their code.
