The Weekly Update #1

Dear Edison Families,

I am happy to share this week's newsletter for our families. This will allow us to share weekly updates in order to ensure our parents/families are being kept up to date with information. (Last week's newsletter updates have been included in this newsletter.)

* Please remember, if you ever have any questions or concerns, we are here to assist. Do not hesitate to contact us. Email: Ask@taehs.org

Sincerely,

Team EDISON

Welcome back parents and students! A very special welcome to our NEW Edison families and students! In this newsletter you will find the answer to some of your questions as well as some helpful tips.

The first day of school: September 7, 2023.

All students will be able to view their schedules on Teach Hub (student portal) and parents will be able view their child's schedule on NYCSA (parent portal). This will be available on Wednesday, September 6, 2023.

* Should a student or parent/family not have access to view the schedule, we will have printed schedules on the first day of school, Thursday September 7, 2023 to provide to students as they enter the school building.

All students that qualify for a metro card will receive their metro card on the first day of school during their 3rd period class.

Unlike elementary and middle school, at Edison we don't require an extensive list of supplies.

Students will minimally need the following:

• Binder
• Loose leaf
• Dividers
• Pens
• #2 Pencils
• Highlighter
• Calculator Model: TI 84 CE (not mandatory, but will be needed for math class)

* Should there be any item in particular that a teacher requires, teachers will let students know well in advance.

All students should bring their Student ID cards. If a student doesn't have one, students should please be sure that they know their OSIS # / Student ID# (it's the same).

Incoming students who are new to our school will receive their ID cards in the coming weeks. Students coming from non-DOE schools who don't know their OSIS # will receive assistance on the first day of school.

• Cellphone use is not permitted in the classroom or in the hallways.
• Headphones/AirPods are not to be worn in school. Should a student have them on, the item will be confiscated and a parent/family member listed on the blue card will need to pick up the item.

Many families have received their Operoo access and have filled out their emergency information and other forms.

• Parents/Family members listed on the blue card are required to complete the device agreement form on Operoo before your child receives a laptop.

• If you have not received your usernames and passwords for the Operoo system, you must email Mr. Boxer at aboxer2@schools.nyc.gov. Please be sure to include your last name, first name and OSIS # within the email to expedite the process.
