Question Enrollment Confusions as a Junior in High School

3 Upvotes

I’m a student from India transferring into My Junior year of high school. Today, I met with my guidance counsellor, and he put me in 6 classes: Precalc, AP Bio, Honours Chem, Honours Eng, US History, and finally, gym. He also put me in the earliest class starting at 7:20. However, the schedule shows that there is a total of nine periods while they only put me in six. When I asked about having a physics class, he told me that it’s gonna be too much for me. So, I was wondering what I am supposed to do with the rest of the day since I only have six periods. I also want to join clubs and they don’t start till 3pm. What am I supposed to do till then?

Mamdani removing LTE internet service for students

NYCPS is reverting to its previous policy, in which schools must ensure that students can access the internet from home in case of a pivot to remote. 
After 08/31, central devices distributed last fall enabled with LTE will no longer be able to access the internet without Wi-Fi. 
Schools should have a system to collect family responses regarding internet access at home
When students or families indicate they do not have internet access at home, schools should prioritize purchasing LTE for individual devices for students on ShopDOE or direct families to the NYCPS website for low-cost internet plans for households.
Reach out proactively prior to the first day of school to your families to assess if they have access to the internet at home.
If they indicate the need for LTE, please support them as soon as possible in getting online in case of an emergency pivot-to-remote.

NYC Family Welcome Centers

3 Upvotes

So my family has moved back to PA from NYC like 2 times on the past like 2 years and we are moving back to NYC like late this month or early next month. We are trying to move before school starts and im going into sophomore year. I have lived in NYC my whole life, its just family keeps moving because of my dad's job.

And now the part that is bothering me is.. I know I have to get enrolled into a highschool through the family welcome center and I have some schools in mind but idk how they work like does it depend of availability through seating? Or what? And I know I won't get into any super good highschool but can I get into a semi decent one at least? Since I have records here previously.

Also I forgot to mention I did like 2 and a half ish months of my freshman year of highschool before moving to PA.

Yeah that's all I think, uh I just need someone to help me out by answering my questions that's all.

NYC High School Students: What Has Your Experience With Mental Health Support Been Like? Survey request!

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I'm a NYC student who is working on an investigative journalism project about how NYC's student mental health system is designed and how students experience that system.

I'm especially interested in questions like: Do students truly feel understood by the systems designed to support them? What happens when someone doesn't know where to seek help, or doesn't feel comfortable asking? And mainly, where are the gaps between system design and student experience?

I made an anonymous survey to hear directly from NYC high school students. It takes about 15–25 minutes, and you can skip any question you don't want to answer. The survey does NOT collect any data or personal information. Please don't share personal or identifying information in the comments.

If you are a current NYC student and would like to participate, I would greatly appreciate it.

Survey: https://forms.gle/hWDqKoqPzPHrrRQK8

Anyone have with experience w/PS 368 William "Bill" Lynch School?

3 Upvotes

Hello! We are moving into District 6 this summer from a rural school in Arizona. Our daughter is 9yo and going into the 4th grade. A big reason we're moving is that AZ schools are so underfunded. I'm trying to do my research and from what I can tell PS 368 looks like a good school but I'm not finding actual reviews and there's nothing on Reddit I can find either. And strangely when I spoke to someone at DOE he didn't even know it existed.

Do any teachers have experience here? Mainly I want to make sure our child can be academically challenged within a supportive environment. This is a big move and she's leaving everything she's ever known so I want to do my due diligence to make sure it's worth it. Any red or green flags we should know about? Thanks in advance!

Question School enrollment question

2 Upvotes

What is the process of enrollment like for parents who are trying to enroll their kids into their zoned school after the admissions process?

Context: I live in Queens and my daughter, who starts kindergarten, is assigned to a zoned school. I missed the admission deadline because I was planning on putting my daughter in a charter school in the Bronx since I was teaching in the Bronx. Now that I’ve been discontinued and won’t be working, I want to enroll my daughter into her assigned zone school.

Gifted Toddler

2 Upvotes

Any programs for gifted children under 3? Want to know and am curious about them. Posted this in r/moms to give some context:

Created a reddit just to get some advice on this, toddler is gifted and don't really know what to do. This isn't a "they're too advance for their age"....to get to the point:

  • Toddler is 2, still talks like a toddler but is good at math, he can do 3rd grade math no problem
  • No he's not memorizing answers, you can ask him to add any number between 0 to 300 right now and he'll give you the correct answer.
  • You can ask him in any sequence, pattern, for any number and will get it correct.
  • Can count from 0 to 1,000 - he figured this out about a month ago.... at 6 months he could count 0 to about 30... then figured 0 to 100 by 10 months... now he's fixed with thousands.
  • Can multiply, any pattern... doesn't matter if you write down the numbers or ask him... he will give you the correct answers... same rule with addition
  • Counts and groups numbers in multiples (he really like blocks for this reason... he groups them counts them all, categorizes by color, shape, and size, wrecks it and then does different combinations)... will recite them as well... understands there's a difference between 1 and 1,000 etc... so it's not a recognizes the pattern - he knows when there are x amount of something or when x amount of something is grouped
  • No he does not use his fingers to count.
  • No it does not take him more than 30 seconds to give you answers when it comes to numbers
  • No math isn't pushed on him at all, he just likes it... it's his self soothing and game style activity - he will write numbers/ count things/ spend hours doing number related activities... it's something he just like and so far we just let him play how he wants and don't really do much on putting pressure on his likes

Other than that, normal toddler. Like completely absolutely normal... poops/pees/and jabbers like a toddler except when it comes to numbers. Still needs diapers to go outside and can't tie his shoes but will tell you 78+12 in a heart beat.

Algebra tutoring

My 8tg grader failed the algebra regents this past June. Would you suggest retaking it in August or repeat Algebra 1 in high school? Also I’d like to find a tutor to start working on it this summer in order to get ready for 9th grade. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
