Stay strong. Stay safe. Talk soon.

A quick hello from JB and Doug and then a replay of the Town Hall on Testing.

Obviously, a big part of our Back to School plan is around how the testing will work and how the community will respond. The Town Hall answers lots of live Q&A.

Happy Back to School everyone!

A conversation with Doug on all things Back to School - testing plan, phase in plans, remote plans, outdoor plans - plus even more plans. Lots of questions that couldn't get covered in the Town Halls are here.  Transcript: https://bit.ly/2Fy08oP

Welcome to Summer Break 2020! In today's episode, we reflect on the end of the school year with Jed and Doug, discuss communication plans for the summer and the process that will lead us to a safe opening day of school in the Fall of 2020.

A new email address is available for families to ask questions and have those questions directed to the team that can best help: schoolforchildren@bankstreet.edu.

Be safe, stay healthy and strong and have a great week!

As we approach the end of the school year, we want to appreciate and honor our 8th Graders moving on. And considering the world into which they are moving, the Bank Street values of social and racial justice are as important as ever.

In this episode, Saara Mahjouri and Jed discuss and highlight the student activism that is a part of the global protests against brutality, racism and injustice. We also discuss the week ahead and the ceremonies and new activities to honor, celebrate and graduate the class of 2020.

Wednesday at 3:00pm the Graduation Ceremony will be livestreamed. Links to come.

Have a healthy, strong, just and powerful week!
