December 12th, 2023 - Remote Readiness/Practice Letter to Families

Dear families of P.S. 211 Elm Tree Elementary School,

New York City Public Schools (NYCPS) are dedicated to ensuring that every student can learn uninterrupted, including during disruptions caused by building closures. 

To accomplish this goal, we want to make sure that our students and staff are prepared for successful remote learning. NYCPS has developed a practice plan to support and improve schools' readiness in the event a transition to remote learning is necessary. 

P.S. 211 Elm Tree Elementary School has been selected to participate in the first round of tech readiness activities on Tuesday, December 12th, 2023.

What does that mean for your child?

• Your child will still come to school. In school, there will be at least one period where the teacher will engage the students in a digital activity to ensure that all students understand how to log on to a device and to their digital accounts.
• In addition to the in-class activity, the teachers will assign a short task for students to complete at home. Please ensure your child completes the digital activity at home.
• If your child does not have access to either a personal internet-enabled device or a NYCPS-issued device at home, be sure to reach out to us to request a device.

Furthermore, we would like to take this opportunity to provide you with your child’s login information which gives them access to various educational platforms such as Google Classroom and iReady:

Student Name: 

Student OSIS: 

Student Class: 

Username/Email: 

Password: 

For more information, feel free to contact Ms. Gisella Catarine, our school’s Parent Coordinator, at 929-260-0084 or through our various communication apps such as our school’s very own Elm Tree Elementary phone application.

Have a wonderful rest of your week!

Sincerely,

P.S. 211 Elm Tree Family
