What is the YS?

The Yellow Sheet is the official weekly newsletter of LaGuardia HS. Our mission is to inform. It provides necessary, helpful, or required communications while reducing the volume of email sent to our school community. At best, it is a cut/paste compilation from any available source, whether that source is school or NYCPS policy or any electronically communicated information, such as weblink, website, email, newsletter, mass mailing, etc. No representation is made as to original thought or writing. Wikipedia is frequently used. Images are for illustrative purposes only, secured from submitted photos, Pixabay Images, Google Images, or similar. Free internet picture providers may use AI generated images as these images may be better than clipart.

Climate Action Days -- Office of Energy & Sustainability

Dear Families,


At New York City Public Schools, our job is to nurture the next generation—and that includes caring for the environment around us. That’s why we are launching our second year of Climate Action Days in our schools. We are building on our commitment to sustainability to keep our communities clean, green, and safe for our children—today and into the future.

Every school will have the opportunity to take part in four Climate Action Days this year. The first Climate Action Day theme is “Waste,” and most schools will participate on Tuesday, November 19.

There are many ways our schools can prevent waste and reduce what we send to landfills. This year, one way we’re taking action is by providing all K-12 schools with curbside composting service five days a week.


I want to encourage you to engage with your child about climate change and how we can all be part of the solution:


  1. Learn more about Climate Action Days at on.nyc.gov/ClimateActionDays.
  2. Ask your child’s school about:


  • Climate Action Day plans: Students will participate in climate-related activities organized by school-based Sustainability Coordinators.
  • Plastic Free Lunch Day: Many schools will also take part in National Plastic Free Lunch Day on November 19. If your child brings food from home, pack it in reusable containers, paper bags, or aluminum foil. Unlike plastic bags or wrap, these items can be composted or recycled.
  • Food Donation: Ask your school principal if they have opted into the food donation program. Schools can provide unopened food and beverages to families and local organizations, preventing food waste.


      By working together, we can build a brighter, more sustainable future. Thank you for being our partners and for all you do to support our children!

      Senior Portraits: Students take multiple photos. A “drape” is provided for all students to wear. Students can choose between 3 drapes: a dress, a suit , or a plain white or black button-down shirt. Both are worn over their own clothes. We ask that all students wear a tank top or tube top underneath their clothing to make changing into and wearing the drapes easier. Drapes can be raised to cover shoulders. We also ask that students come with their hands and nails camera-ready. Students also get photographed in full cap and gown attire with props. Those who come dressed up (not casual attire) can get a personal shot done as well.
