Is remote learning a good idea for NYC students?
Remote learning has been a disaster for students, teachers and counselors in New York City. Christopher Sadowski Mayor Eric Adams and his schools chancellor, David Banks, recently endorsed the idea of a remote option for students, likely prompted by low attendance rates the last two weeks.

Why do so many students choose remote school?
Many families, furthermore, would choose remote for non-COVID reasons. Before the pandemic, I made many home visits to students who had school anxiety, crippling depression or other obstacles to regular attendance. Now many of these students will stay remote to the detriment of their mental health and academic well-being.

What is NYCSA in school?
We encourage you to check your New York City Schools Account (NYCSA) to track your student’s progress towards graduation. Families can use the Graduation Tracker in NYCSA to view the credits a student has earned, the exams a student has passed, the student’s credits-in-progress, and the remaining credits a student needs to receive either a Regents or advanced Regents diploma.
How are AP exams administered?
AP exams are administered at the direction of the College Board, a separate educational organization. As you know, in response to school closures due to COVID-19, the College Board has shifted all paper-based AP exams to online testing. In order to take the exams, students must have access to a computer, tablet or smartphone, as well as access to the internet. We know that access to technology impacts many students’ ability to take the online AP exams that begin May 11 and we prioritized device distribution to high school students who filled out the Remote Learning Device Survey.
What is MIS C in children?
Additionally, over the past few weeks, another COVID-19 related illness has been detected in children across our city, Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C). Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a new health condition associated with COVID-19 that is appearing in children in New York City and elsewhere. The syndrome was previously called pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome or PMIS. MIS-C is like other serious inflammatory conditions such as Kawasaki disease and toxic shock syndrome. Children with MIS-C can have problems with their heart and other organs and need to receive medical care in a hospital. MIS-C is a rare condition. However, because children with this syndrome may become seriously ill, it is important that parents know the signs and symptoms their children may have, so they can get help right away. Additionally, please see the attached document for more information related to MIS-C.
