NYC Reads
Beginning in the 2023–24 school year, NYCPS will be launching an initiative called NYC Reads. The goal is to ensure that all New York City students become strong readers, which is the single most important skill required for educational, career, and lifetime success. Based on extensive research, NYC Reads will ensure that pre-K and elementary school students receive the most effective reading instruction materials and methods. Click here to learn more https://www.schools.nyc.gov/learning/subjects/literacy/nyc-reads
*Visit https://www.hmhco.com/programs/into-reading to learn more about our literacy program, HMH.
MindUP
We participate in an evidence-based social and emotional learning (SEL) program that can help our students better engage in learning, learn to self-regulate their behavior, and improve their attention skills and well-being. MindUP™ is a classroom-based program that teaches children strategies guided by the fields of neuroscience, mindful awareness training, social and emotional learning, and positive psychology to support success in the classroom and life. Learn more via the Family Welcome Letter and visit the Mind Up Website.
