August 11, 2022 – Parent Coordinator Update
Hello new and returning CWS families. Some quick announcements and reminder:
Teacher letters will be going out later this month on Bloomz. They will include first day protocols, and class details. We will not be posting supply lists on line, but teachers may include wish lists, or personal items your child may need.
New families will get an invitation to download Bloomz. I also have an email list as a backup. I will be sending out a test email later today. If you do not receive an email from me, please contact me at Dcantwell2@SChools.nyc.gov
School Lunch Forms
In order to save you (and us!) paperwork, I’d like to ask you to fill out your child’s lunch form on line. Even though school lunch is free For all NYC students, The DOE does collect data regarding eligibility for free and reduced lunch, which determines funding for the city and for individual schools. Here is the link
