• Game Show Assembly – Monday, June 24
  

  For periods 7 and 8, our graduates will participate in a second Brain Challenge Game Show assembly. Students are expected to wear their game-show assembly t-shirts (black or red). Will the black team avenge their mid-year loss?

  Senior Banquet – Tuesday, June 25

  As outlined in a separate letter, our senior banquet is set for Tuesday evening at 5:30PM. We anticipate students leaving early (after period one). Please have ID ready and be sure to complete the Early Release Google form by June 22 (only necessary if your child is being picked up early). We look forward to a great night!! Students will receive their diplomas on this day as well. (Paper report cards will not be printed, and final reports cards will be available via NYC Schools accounts on or about June 26.)

  We are looking forward to a fun and memorable end of the school year, and hope our seniors are too!

Beginning in summer 2024, New York State (NYS) is implementing Summer EBT, a new federal program to help low-income households with children purchase food over the summer when school is out of session and children can no longer rely on access to free/reduced price school meals. The Summer EBT benefit of $120 per eligible child will be issued on an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card that families can use just like Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to purchase eligible food items at SNAP participating grocery stores, farmers markets, and other retailers; these benefits expire 122 days from the date that the benefits are issued. The new program is in addition to free meals that children ages 18 and younger can get at summer meal sites in their communities. Follow the link for information.

Please note that this is not a DOE program. For questions, go to OTDA.NY.gov/SummerEBT and then call the Summer EBT Customer Service Helpline (1-833-452-0096) if further assistance is needed. The helpline will be able to answer questions about a specific child’s eligibility beginning July 1.

Starting June 27 and through August 30, free summer meals will be available to all children and teens ages 18 years and younger at locations throughout New York City from 8:00– 9:15 a.m. for breakfast and 11:00 a.m.–1:15 p.m. for lunch (times are subject to change). No registration, documentation, or ID is required. Please note there is no service on Independence Day, July 4.

If your student is in the 6th or 7th grade and you will be moving out of state or to a non public school, please email Jennifer Gigliotti at jgigliotti@schools.nyc.gov and she can send you the necessary paperwork you will need to complete. Thank you!

Mr. Ferraro, Ms. Henrich, and our students have been hard at work writing articles and reviews, while also adding original stories and sports updates. Follow this link to find all issues of the Paulo pages: check it out here The Paulo Pages

The DOE is helping to promote a new program offered by the NYC Health Department for NYC teens. NYC Teenspace, powered by Talkspace offers NYC teens ages 13–17 virtual therapy with a licensed therapist, at no cost. Teens can be connected to a licensed therapist for ongoing support and/or can access online mental health exercises to complete on their own. Teens can sign up for this program on their own by following these steps. Note that teens do not need to be experiencing mental health symptoms to participate and can discuss their thoughts and feelings about their day-to-day life with a Talkspace therapist. More information can be accessed through the parents and guardians FAQ.

• For questions, email OfficeofSchoolHealth@schools.nyc.gov.
  

• First day of school, Thursday, Sept. 5th

Here at Paulo, we understand the importance of cultivating a sense of student pride and ownership across our hallways and classrooms. We believe that this sense of warmth and optimism allows our students to feel valued and welcomed each and every day and makes Paulo a place where all students can flourish. To this end, we enlist your support in ensuring your child participates in our various Paulo Pride days. We are sharing this calendar of events with you now because we realize on some occasions you may need to secure a special outfit or piece of apparel. Every Friday students are encouraged to wear Paulo apparel. Students who have Paulo pajama pants can only wear them on Fridays. Again, our goal is 100% student participation, and we can’t do it without you!
