75 high schools with parents so

00:01:20.389 --> 00:01:23.540
that they can make informed
decisions about articulation.

00:01:23.769 --> 00:01:28.779
I'm excited that we have our um
articulation point person from

00:01:28.790 --> 00:01:29.309

00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:33.519
the district 75 Bronx placement
officer will be here later on in

00:01:33.529 --> 00:01:37.599
our program and sharing this
information will be impactful.

00:01:37.610 --> 00:01:41.190
Any questions that parents have,
please feel free to ask them.

00:01:41.269 --> 00:01:45.910
This is an information sharing
session in order to ensure that

00:01:45.919 --> 00:01:46.940
um you know,

00:01:46.949 --> 00:01:49.440

So thank you so much,

00:01:54.435 --> 00:01:57.935

00:02:05.456 --> 00:02:09.856
Um So you can discuss some of
the high school programs that we

00:02:09.865 --> 00:02:11.645
get information about today.

00:02:11.656 --> 00:02:14.772
Each of our high schools in
district 75 and outside of district

00:02:14.781 --> 00:02:17.352
75 do have their own websites.

00:02:17.371 --> 00:02:20.072
So you can go to the website and
you can find out who the parent

00:02:20.082 --> 00:02:21.162
coordinators are.

00:02:21.171 --> 00:02:24.651
I'm sure in these presentations
they will be sharing so that if

00:02:24.662 --> 00:02:26.972
you have questions or you'd like
to go on tours,

00:02:26.981 --> 00:02:30.192

So we are P 721 X the Steven
Dewey School.

00:02:47.580 --> 00:02:50.020
And as we stated, we do have our
website,

00:02:50.029 --> 00:02:53.380
it's listed here at P 721.
X.org.

00:02:53.389 --> 00:02:58.244
We also have an Instagram page
that you can follow at P 721 X.

00:02:58.414 --> 00:03:01.804
We do like to say that our
school is a student centered learning

00:03:01.815 --> 00:03:05.164
community that believes in
educating the whole student with a

00:03:05.175 --> 00:03:07.345
focus on integrating academic,
social,

00:03:07.354 --> 00:03:11.175
emotional and vocational
development with self advocacy and

00:03:11.184 --> 00:03:15.184
college and career readiness.
Next slide.

00:03:19.330 --> 00:03:21.330
Previous one.

00:03:22.119 --> 00:03:23.030
Yeah. Yeah.

00:03:23.330 --> 00:03:28.160
So our school has five sites. We
have our main site,

00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:33.149
a a site at the Monroe Annex the
Dey Clinton High School,

00:03:33.160 --> 00:03:34.460
Intech High School.

00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:37.789
And we also have an inclusion
program at Lehman and Renaissance

00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:41.764
High School there located in
different parts of the Bronx.

00:03:41.774 --> 00:03:42.835
The address is here.

00:03:42.845 --> 00:03:45.485
We will also share this
presentation with MS Sullivan so that

00:03:45.494 --> 00:03:48.065
she can share out with others.

00:03:48.074 --> 00:03:51.324
And um here's our principal
assistant principals and parent

00:03:51.335 --> 00:03:54.354
coordinator Veronica Sterling.
We did put her email there.

00:03:54.365 --> 00:03:57.255
V Sterling three at
school.nyc.gov.

00:03:57.505 --> 00:04:01.705
If you do want to reach out for
any information.

00:04:01.845 --> 00:04:07.850
Next slide at our main site
Monroe site,

00:04:07.860 --> 00:04:12.130
we have 1211 alternate
assessment students at our main site.

00:04:12.139 --> 00:04:16.640
There's also two, I'm sorry,
three bilingual, 1211 classes.

00:04:17.010 --> 00:04:20.130
We have 214 at Intech.

00:04:20.140 --> 00:04:23.509
It's missing because we also do
have a 11.

00:04:23.809 --> 00:04:25.450
Oh, actually what I'm reading
this one.

00:04:25.459 --> 00:04:29.429
I'm sorry, we have 1211
alternate assessment at main site.

00:04:29.440 --> 00:04:30.170
And Monroe,

00:04:30.179 --> 00:04:36.739
we have a 1214 ratio at inte we
have 811 alternate assessment at

00:04:36.750 --> 00:04:37.429
the main site,

00:04:37.440 --> 00:04:42.809
Monroe site and Clinton site and
we have 611 ratios at all sites

00:04:42.820 --> 00:04:44.550
which are alternate assessment.

00:04:44.850 --> 00:04:49.980
Our inclusion program is at
Lehman and Renaissance High School

00:04:49.989 --> 00:04:54.149
and the pro uh the programs
there are handled by the inclusion

00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:54.700
site.

00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.190
It is important to note that if
your student is slated to go to

00:04:59.200 --> 00:05:04.010
our main site, Monroe site in
Tech or Clinton site,

00:05:04.089 --> 00:05:07.040
those students participate in
alternate assessment,

00:05:07.049 --> 00:05:10.140
which means that they're not on
track for a high school diploma.

00:05:10.250 --> 00:05:12.470
If they are in our inclusion
program,

00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:16.540
they may be standardized leading
to that diploma. Next site.

00:05:21.410 --> 00:05:24.850
If a student is participating in
alternate assessment,

00:05:24.859 --> 00:05:29.369
they will all receive math el A
social studies, science,

00:05:29.559 --> 00:05:32.029
progress monitoring is part of
their schedule,

00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.709
mindfulness and physical
education.

00:05:34.940 --> 00:05:38.890
Some students depending on their
site and their schedule can

00:05:38.899 --> 00:05:42.350
participate in performing arts,
social, emotional learning,

00:05:42.359 --> 00:05:47.769
health, visual arts, technology,
theme, music, special Olympics,

00:05:47.779 --> 00:05:51.779
the pays lab and Culinary. Next
slide.

00:05:54.899 --> 00:05:58.899
This is a video showing one of
our 611 classes.

00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:10.359
I think there's no sound and
need to be shared with sound,

00:06:10.369 --> 00:06:12.369
I think.

00:06:13.880 --> 00:06:16.660
Yeah, it's weird because I can
hear it on my end.

00:06:16.670 --> 00:06:32.209
I'm not sure how to make that
have sound we can hear and who is

00:06:32.220 --> 00:06:37.649

00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:54.079
So, Justin, what is our first
ingredient?

00:06:54.649 --> 00:06:58.180
What are those English muffins?
Good.

00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:02.269
Hey, what is that tomato sauce?

Go ahead. Was it question

00:07:24.790 --> 00:07:27.109
No cheese. OK. Hold it up.

00:07:27.339 --> 00:07:30.950
What is that mozzarella cheese,
mozzarella cheese.

00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:35.149
Now we're going to be a allowed
for our English muffin pizza

00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:40.190
recipe. Step one, put half of an
English muffin on your plate.

00:07:40.649 --> 00:07:45.390
Step two, spread some sauce on
English muffin using a food.

00:07:46.250 --> 00:07:50.750
Step three, Sprinkle shredded
cheese on top of English muffin,

00:07:51.109 --> 00:07:57.269
step four place English muffin
entre step five place tray in

00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:59.760
toaster, oven and bake for 10
minutes.

00:08:00.029 --> 00:08:05.559
Step six, make tray out of
toaster with oven. N step seven.

00:08:05.660 --> 00:08:08.980
Use a spatula and put English
shoping pizza on your plate,

00:08:09.119 --> 00:08:11.190
eat and enjoy.

00:08:29.739 --> 00:08:31.620
OK. We can go on to the next
slide.

00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:36.440
Uh M rid our job developer is
going to present on our worksite

00:08:36.450 --> 00:08:38.450
opportunities.

00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:43.500
So the last video that you just
saw was MS Erica Pako and she

00:08:43.510 --> 00:08:47.859
was working with her 611 class
on building communication and

00:08:47.869 --> 00:08:51.629
functional skills as part of our
EO curriculum.

00:08:51.929 --> 00:08:57.340
So if you take a look at our
work study program at 721 X,

00:08:57.349 --> 00:09:02.059
you will see that our goal or
objective is to allow each and

00:09:02.070 --> 00:09:05.460
every student the opportunity to
be immersed in some type of

00:09:05.469 --> 00:09:09.599
work study. So you can, you can
move on to the next slide.

00:09:13.340 --> 00:09:19.599
So our 611 classes are building
those essential skills for um

00:09:19.609 --> 00:09:22.159
independence. And once they've
mastered them,

00:09:22.169 --> 00:09:26.919
they're then transitioning to
611 work studies or 811 classes

00:09:27.219 --> 00:09:30.770
from there. Once they master
their IEP sandy skills,

00:09:30.780 --> 00:09:34.000
they're then transitioning into
811 work studies.

00:09:34.010 --> 00:09:37.429
1211 classes by age 18,

00:09:37.489 --> 00:09:41.700
we hope that each and every one
of our students are immersed in

00:09:41.710 --> 00:09:42.960
some type of work study,

00:09:42.969 --> 00:09:46.710
whether it be um an in-house
work study classroom,

00:09:47.010 --> 00:09:51.719
which they would then spend um
the minimum of one year in prior

00:09:51.729 --> 00:09:54.660
to transitioning into one of our
full time work sites.

00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:57.340
So we have four full time work
sites.

00:09:57.409 --> 00:09:59.479
Saint Patrick's being our level
one,

00:09:59.489 --> 00:10:04.150
Chevie being our level two
Hebrew home being our level three and

00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:06.950
Montefiore being our top work
site.

00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:11.849
And um students who do
transition to Montefiore will transition

00:10:11.859 --> 00:10:15.859
within their last year prior to
graduating.

00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:23.479
And that's just a picture of
some of um our work site students.

00:10:23.809 --> 00:10:26.580
So um at our full time work
sites,

00:10:26.590 --> 00:10:29.580
the majority of them are nursing
homes and rehabilitation

00:10:29.590 --> 00:10:33.140
centers. So our students are
working on transport,

00:10:33.179 --> 00:10:35.789
they're facilitating
recreational activities,

00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:37.840
they're doing groundskeeping,

00:10:37.849 --> 00:10:41.489
uh reception work at our part
time work sites.

00:10:41.500 --> 00:10:48.020
Our students are w working on
maintenance. Um They are,

00:10:48.030 --> 00:10:51.049
our horticultural classes are
building on culinary skills,

00:10:51.059 --> 00:10:55.570
gardening skills, following one
following three step tasks.

00:10:55.950 --> 00:10:59.950
Um Yeah. So you can go over to
the next slide now.

00:11:01.640 --> 00:11:04.619
Ok. So our in-house work study
opportunities.

00:11:04.630 --> 00:11:07.900
This, these are a list of our in
house work sites.

00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:09.979
Our print shop supply room,

00:11:09.989 --> 00:11:15.609
we have one across all sites um
and across ratios as well.

00:11:16.280 --> 00:11:19.760
Our PB is store which aligns to
store,

00:11:19.770 --> 00:11:21.380
which is our point system.

00:11:21.390 --> 00:11:26.119
Um You can find a PB is class
within each off site.

00:11:26.130 --> 00:11:28.989
Um And that also goes across
ratios.

00:11:29.289 --> 00:11:35.020
Our media arts club is um novel
to our main site and they

00:11:35.030 --> 00:11:37.440
produce our morning
announcements every day.

00:11:37.450 --> 00:11:41.250
Our daily morning announcements,
our horticulture classroom,

00:11:41.260 --> 00:11:46.270
that's our garden to uh table
program where they're building

00:11:46.280 --> 00:11:48.700
skills in culinary arts and
gardening.

00:11:48.710 --> 00:11:51.179
That's across ratios at all
sites.

00:11:51.479 --> 00:11:56.090
Lati endit is our gift shop at
the main publications and library

00:11:56.099 --> 00:12:01.960

Our pays lab is um a homeroom
class at our Monroe site.

00:12:08.770 --> 00:12:13.030
But also we offer it as a
cluster at our main site and delivery

00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:18.729
services um is a class which
helps take orders for both our

00:12:18.739 --> 00:12:23.510
culinary program and our
horticulture program to deliver food

00:12:23.780 --> 00:12:27.100
that's ordered by staff members
throughout our organization.

00:12:27.400 --> 00:12:28.820
So all in house and 12,

00:12:28.830 --> 00:12:32.229
11 work study classes are
following a career in college

00:12:32.239 --> 00:12:36.239
readiness curriculum known as
path.

00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.000
Ok.

00:12:55.719 --> 00:12:57.719
Mhm.

00:12:58.789 --> 00:13:02.229
So, I don't know if we could
hear the audio. I'm Jamie Johnson.

00:13:02.429 --> 00:13:03.719
I'm here. And how media,

00:13:03.739 --> 00:13:08.690
art work site class here at P on
21 X and one of our jobs to do

00:13:08.700 --> 00:13:09.890
is from the morning out,

00:13:10.190 --> 00:13:13.309
each and every single day
they're available every day,

00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:14.500
9 a.m. at,

00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:18.539
at our website P on 21 x.org
here to tell you more about in

00:13:18.549 --> 00:13:22.549
house work like our teacher, Mr
Ac O.

00:13:23.030 --> 00:13:24.250
Well, hello everyone.

00:13:24.260 --> 00:13:28.260
My name is David Aloisio and as
Gabriel and Jaden just mentioned,

00:13:28.429 --> 00:13:32.250
I am one of the in-house
worksite class teachers.

00:13:32.260 --> 00:13:35.969
Uh My class is the media arts
class. And as they also mentioned,

00:13:36.119 --> 00:13:40.739
one of our responsibilities each
day is to film and edit the

00:13:40.750 --> 00:13:45.719
morning announcements which we
then place on our P 721 X website.

00:13:45.979 --> 00:13:50.880
The morning announcements
contain important P 721 X news updates

00:13:50.890 --> 00:13:52.189
and information.

00:13:52.489 --> 00:13:55.710
New announcements can be found
on our school website each day at

00:13:55.719 --> 00:13:59.960
9 a.m. The announcements are
pre-recorded the day before that

00:13:59.969 --> 00:14:01.179
they are aired.

00:14:01.479 --> 00:14:05.450
Our learning targets each day
are based on gathering information

00:14:05.510 --> 00:14:09.450
as well as gathering and
producing the necessary elements needed

00:14:09.460 --> 00:14:13.250
to produce the announcements
that includes research.

00:14:13.260 --> 00:14:17.369
So each day our students
research different facts and topics to

00:14:17.380 --> 00:14:21.650
be added to the announcements.
Then we gather news and photos.

00:14:21.659 --> 00:14:22.789
We do this two ways.

00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:25.820
We either research on the
internet where students are assigned

00:14:25.830 --> 00:14:30.835
different stories or people or
events to research or students

00:14:30.924 --> 00:14:35.684
navigate the school building to
take pictures or record videos

00:14:35.695 --> 00:14:38.005
of needed elements for the
announcements.

00:14:38.284 --> 00:14:40.594
Then we have to record the
announcements.

00:14:40.604 --> 00:14:43.664
So first the class works
together to write scripts for the

00:14:43.674 --> 00:14:44.534
announcements.

00:14:44.674 --> 00:14:48.525
Then we have two of our students
act as news editors while other

00:14:48.534 --> 00:14:51.759
students set up the new set and
record them.

00:14:52.059 --> 00:14:54.080
Then we have to edit the
announcements.

00:14:54.090 --> 00:15:01.049
Uh The class works either
independently or stories together each

00:15:01.059 --> 00:15:01.569
day.

00:15:01.869 --> 00:15:05.090
My class is also responsible for
covering many of the school

00:15:05.099 --> 00:15:07.789
events and programs that go on
here.

00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:12.479
A piece of 21 X and one of the
things they produced this year

00:15:12.489 --> 00:15:16.429
was this video we're about to
see which focuses on another one

00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:19.720
of our in-house websites.
Welcome to the P lab.

00:15:20.020 --> 00:15:22.400
The pay slap isn't a normal
classroom.

00:15:22.590 --> 00:15:26.000
It's like a job where you are
the employee and the teachers are

00:15:26.010 --> 00:15:27.309
your supervisors.

00:15:27.609 --> 00:15:31.320
So we have to treat it like a
job which means no phones,

00:15:31.330 --> 00:15:33.179
follow the pay slab steps,

00:15:33.190 --> 00:15:36.630
practice safe and appropriate
work habits.

00:15:36.650 --> 00:15:40.650
Make sure we always put our work
materials back correctly.

00:15:41.299 --> 00:15:46.359
If we do all these things we can
earn PB is store points in the

00:15:46.369 --> 00:15:49.659
pace of you can explore
different types of jobs.

00:15:49.669 --> 00:15:51.890
There are five different job
areas.

00:15:51.900 --> 00:15:55.559
They are consumer service,
processing and production,

00:15:55.570 --> 00:15:59.450
computer and technology,
business, marketing and construction,

00:15:59.460 --> 00:16:02.159
industrial and the business
marketing section.

00:16:02.429 --> 00:16:06.150
You can work on job skills like
measuring food or wrapping

00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:08.570
burgers. These skills can help
you.

00:16:08.580 --> 00:16:11.960
If you want to work with food in
the processing and production

00:16:11.969 --> 00:16:12.600
section,

00:16:12.900 --> 00:16:17.729
you can work on job skills like
bolt assembly or form designs.

00:16:17.739 --> 00:16:21.809
These skills can help you if you
want a job where you put things

00:16:21.820 --> 00:16:28.250
together in the computer
technology and business marketing

00:16:28.260 --> 00:16:29.010
sections,

00:16:29.210 --> 00:16:34.580
you can work on job skills like
powerpoint presentations, email,

00:16:34.690 --> 00:16:37.630
alphabetizing or typing. These
skills can help you.

00:16:37.640 --> 00:16:41.179
If you want to work in an office
in the construction industrial

00:16:41.190 --> 00:16:41.840
section,

00:16:41.940 --> 00:16:45.929
you can work on job skills like
measuring on how to use tools

00:16:45.940 --> 00:16:47.570
like wrenches and bolts.

00:16:47.580 --> 00:16:51.195
These skills can help you if you
want a job who are building or

00:16:51.205 --> 00:16:52.405
working construction.

00:16:52.414 --> 00:16:57.025
Pa is a great way to discover
what type of job you like or don't

00:16:57.034 --> 00:16:57.804
like and,

00:16:57.815 --> 00:17:01.645
and help you work on job skills
that will prepare you for when

00:17:01.655 --> 00:17:02.604
you go to a work site.

00:17:02.614 --> 00:17:06.005
Some of our other in house work
site classes are first

00:17:06.015 --> 00:17:09.045
publications in our publications
class.

00:17:09.055 --> 00:17:12.525
Students work on skills like
following multi step directions,

00:17:12.535 --> 00:17:17.250
staying on task, organizational
skills, number sets,

00:17:17.260 --> 00:17:20.550
navigating the buildings through
doing jobs in our school,

00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:24.979
like attendance, photocopies,
laminating poster, making,

00:17:24.989 --> 00:17:28.850
making school notices, making
deliveries and shredding.

00:17:29.150 --> 00:17:33.930
We also have an in-house website
gardening class in our garden

00:17:33.939 --> 00:17:37.689
class. They're currently
rebuilding our outdoor garden,

00:17:37.969 --> 00:17:43.469
but they also grow plants and
herbs inside their classroom which

00:17:43.479 --> 00:17:45.530
is known as the Green Room.

00:17:46.250 --> 00:17:49.449
They are currently growing eight
different types of basil.

00:17:49.619 --> 00:17:52.510
The students are comparing these
different varieties,

00:17:52.520 --> 00:17:55.089
tracking the progress of
germination and growth.

00:17:55.219 --> 00:17:59.109
So they'll transfer them to the
grow towers where they hope

00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:02.109
they'll produce a big yield of
delicious herb.

00:18:02.390 --> 00:18:04.989
So that's just a little bit
about our in-house work side classes

00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:09.270
here at 721 X. Uh Now back to
you, Gabriel and Jaden.

00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:12.369
Thanks. So we shown before we
go,

00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:14.520
we like to tell you a little bit
what it's like to be in an in

00:18:14.589 --> 00:18:18.099
house work site. Not only do we
do media and editing,

00:18:18.109 --> 00:18:20.540
we also learn more about social
skills,

00:18:20.550 --> 00:18:22.180
like following directions,

00:18:22.189 --> 00:18:25.489
help us prepare us for a job and
a full on.

00:18:25.500 --> 00:18:27.389
We're in a full time work site.

00:18:27.689 --> 00:18:31.689
Thanks so much parents and we'll
see you next time. Bye.

00:18:39.819 --> 00:18:43.639
That was nice. I gotta lie. That
was very nice.

00:18:43.939 --> 00:18:49.410
Very nice, amazing, beautiful
videos.

00:18:50.020 --> 00:18:51.089
Thank you. So,

00:18:51.099 --> 00:18:54.099
both of those students are
actually graduates who were able to

00:18:54.109 --> 00:18:56.600
transition to our full time work
sites.

00:18:56.900 --> 00:19:01.589
Um And eventually ended up at
our Montefiore Hospital project

00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:03.980
search site which we'll talk
about in a minute.

00:19:04.280 --> 00:19:06.619
Um in terms of our part time
work sites,

00:19:06.630 --> 00:19:13.050
we do have um two community
centers staples Y MC A and we have a

00:19:13.060 --> 00:19:15.780
partnership with the New York
Botanical Gardens where our

00:19:15.790 --> 00:19:20.880
students attend an edible garden
class as well as they volunteer

00:19:20.890 --> 00:19:24.890
about 2 to 3 times per month,
excluding the winter months,

00:19:25.369 --> 00:19:29.300
you can go over to the next
slide. So project search,

00:19:29.310 --> 00:19:32.790
I'm not gonna get too into this
um because of time,

00:19:32.939 --> 00:19:35.819
but it is a partnership between
a school, a host,

00:19:35.829 --> 00:19:37.089
business liaison,

00:19:37.099 --> 00:19:41.569
a VR counselor and a community
rehabilitation provider staff.

00:19:41.579 --> 00:19:46.219
So for us that is P 721 X
Montefiore Hospital,

00:19:46.520 --> 00:19:50.619
um an access VR counselor, a job
coach and a HR C.

00:19:51.060 --> 00:19:55.479
So now we can meet Logan who is
one of our,

00:19:55.489 --> 00:19:59.299
she'll be our a graduate with us
this year.

00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:01.599
Is it saying, requesting access?

00:20:03.270 --> 00:20:05.270
I don't have access to share
with you for that.

00:20:05.280 --> 00:20:08.599
But Logan was just explaining uh
a a day in the life at

00:20:08.609 --> 00:20:12.519
Montefiore what her uh job
responsibilities are.

00:20:12.819 --> 00:20:16.680
Um I will say that project
search has a very high employment

00:20:16.689 --> 00:20:20.800
rate while we don't promise
employment upon graduation.

00:20:20.810 --> 00:20:25.489
Um We average out of at about
seven students who have obtained

00:20:25.500 --> 00:20:29.880
employment um not always within
Montefiore Hospital,

00:20:29.890 --> 00:20:31.060
but through job coaching,

00:20:31.069 --> 00:20:35.109
they are able to do so and we do
follow them and track their

00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:35.760
progress.

00:20:35.770 --> 00:20:41.359
And about six months after the
that rate goes up to about 100.

00:20:41.369 --> 00:20:46.430
So 12 out of 12 students
typically ends up with employment.

00:20:51.349 --> 00:20:56.300
So um we we're trying to give
our student body and our community

00:20:56.310 --> 00:20:58.969
a little bit more information on
project search.

00:20:59.250 --> 00:21:02.170
So we did air this in our
morning announcements yesterday,

00:21:02.180 --> 00:21:04.609
but we don't need to show the
entire video.

00:21:04.619 --> 00:21:11.300
We can kind of uh forward to
about three minutes in to show um

00:21:11.310 --> 00:21:15.310
our work study update. Amazing.
Wonderful.

00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:22.319
I think it's right. There was.

00:21:23.589 --> 00:21:25.589
Thanks Nick.

00:21:27.719 --> 00:21:29.719
Yes, we heard it.

00:21:37.699 --> 00:21:41.699
No, it's not working. Um Mister
Daniel. Can't hear.

00:21:44.939 --> 00:21:46.939
There we go.

00:21:50.150 --> 00:21:50.900
Good morning.

00:21:50.910 --> 00:21:55.829
I'm Miss Raidi job developer at
721 X and I'm Mr Robideaux main

00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:57.270
site ENL teacher.

00:21:57.290 --> 00:22:01.380
We are here to provide you with
more exposure to our work site

00:22:01.390 --> 00:22:03.630
community in December.

00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:06.619
A group of students from the
main site visited project search at

00:22:06.630 --> 00:22:07.549
Montefiore.

00:22:07.849 --> 00:22:12.489
Students at Montefiore shared
their experiences as interns and

00:22:12.500 --> 00:22:16.500
discussed some of the challenges
they were learning to overcome.

00:22:17.260 --> 00:22:19.920
Let's take an inside look at
some of the footage from the

00:22:19.930 --> 00:22:21.959
student interviews. What do you
guys think?

00:22:21.969 --> 00:22:24.459
Why do you think it's a good
experience?

00:22:24.469 --> 00:22:26.239
Do you think it's worth it to
come here?

00:22:26.250 --> 00:22:28.670
Why should students prepare and
why should they come to a

00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:29.369
website?

00:22:29.390 --> 00:22:34.439
It's very much worth it to come
here because as they grow older,

00:22:34.449 --> 00:22:38.199
they should be able to learn
more about how to be independent,

00:22:38.209 --> 00:22:44.569
to take care of knowing
themselves but their families to also

00:22:44.579 --> 00:22:49.469
get a job to earn money. It
gives you a different idea.

00:22:49.479 --> 00:22:50.439
When console website,

00:22:50.449 --> 00:22:55.119
it gives you different ideas of
what you wanna do and we join on.

00:22:56.349 --> 00:22:58.349
How do you do that for pain?

00:22:59.760 --> 00:23:01.389
Mhm uh We don't get paid.

00:23:01.689 --> 00:23:06.229
We got, this is, is a volunteer
move one. Yes.

00:23:06.969 --> 00:23:09.000
We need some clarification on
this.

00:23:09.010 --> 00:23:13.439
So can you explain why you would
wanna volunteer your services

00:23:14.510 --> 00:23:16.270
by learning more job skills.

00:23:16.280 --> 00:23:21.869
We are more prepared on finding
a job by graduation.

00:23:22.180 --> 00:23:27.739
What the student at 721 as do
now to prepare them for the work,

00:23:28.060 --> 00:23:35.310
practice time management and
punctuality so that they won't be

00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:38.420
coming to coming to work late.

00:23:38.750 --> 00:23:44.119
They should learn how to act as
mature adults and accept

00:23:44.130 --> 00:23:48.390
criticism because they should
not be upset when someone give a

00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:49.439
feedback.

00:23:49.739 --> 00:23:51.719
We hope this information can
give our work,

00:23:51.729 --> 00:23:55.079
study students more insight into
what skills they will need to

00:23:55.089 --> 00:23:59.109
succeed at a work site. Stay
tuned for more work,

00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:03.219
study updates and information
here at P 721 X.

00:24:03.229 --> 00:24:07.229
Thank you for that information
on Saturday, February,

00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:15.109
do you and now for a works that
was so beautiful.

00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:21.439
These videos have been so
informative and um the whole program

00:24:21.449 --> 00:24:23.910
at 721 has been informative.

00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:28.969
It's really a beautiful um
presentation and a beautiful school.

00:24:29.260 --> 00:24:30.310
Um We,

00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:36.530
we're gonna just quickly ask um
that we hold questions till

00:24:36.540 --> 00:24:37.470
later on.

00:24:37.770 --> 00:24:41.489
Um And then we will help parents
too because I know somebody has

00:24:41.500 --> 00:24:43.150
their hand up, but we have,

00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:45.510
we're gonna have to wrap it up
and move on to the next

00:24:45.520 --> 00:24:46.799
presentation.

00:24:47.099 --> 00:24:50.040
Um There's just so much good
information here that we didn't

00:24:50.050 --> 00:24:51.360
want to stop you guys.

00:24:51.660 --> 00:24:55.890
Um Do you have any concluding
thoughts or things you want to say

00:24:55.900 --> 00:24:59.520
the principle or um I don't want
to stop you if you have more

00:24:59.530 --> 00:25:02.910
slides, we do have, we do have a
little bit more.

00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:05.930
Um Our counselor Mr Bois is on
but just quickly,

00:25:05.939 --> 00:25:08.479
I don't know if you have the
audience for this part of the

00:25:08.489 --> 00:25:13.229
presentation. I'm sorry, what
the inclusion. Um Yes.

00:25:13.239 --> 00:25:15.489
So, so we'll bypass the
inclusion program,

00:25:15.500 --> 00:25:17.750
but just so that this is what
I'll say, this is what I say.

00:25:17.760 --> 00:25:20.349
We have a few other inclusion
schools.

00:25:20.359 --> 00:25:21.780
So for parents and teachers,

00:25:21.790 --> 00:25:27.030
it's just great to know that 721
has two inclusion programs,

00:25:27.040 --> 00:25:31.239
one at Lehman one at
Renaissance. Um This looks amazing.

00:25:31.250 --> 00:25:32.619
Just looking at this slide,

00:25:32.630 --> 00:25:36.010
I can see that the kids can go
to Co Op tech.

00:25:36.189 --> 00:25:37.969
Maybe you just want to spend um
you know,

00:25:38.180 --> 00:25:42.180
one minute or so explaining what
you think of them. Definitely.

00:25:43.040 --> 00:25:45.000
So take a minute.

00:25:45.300 --> 00:25:50.119
So um so the students at our
inclusion program on at Lehman

00:25:50.130 --> 00:25:53.890
campus and the Renaissance
Campus, they take classes,

00:25:54.099 --> 00:25:58.680
regular ed classes with their
regular um degenerate ed students.

00:25:58.959 --> 00:26:03.479
Um students who we feel students
have the opportunity of either

00:26:03.489 --> 00:26:06.619
going to college or going to a
tech school.

00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:09.400
And Co op Tech is a school that
we use to encourage your

00:26:09.410 --> 00:26:14.500
students to learn about
cosmetology, barbering Culinary Arts.

00:26:14.989 --> 00:26:17.939
Um Our goal is for our students
to leave with a high school

00:26:17.949 --> 00:26:21.640
diploma. But if our students are
unable to meet that goal,

00:26:21.780 --> 00:26:26.819
we encourage them to go to Co op
tech where they can build their

00:26:26.829 --> 00:26:28.739
um vocational skills.

00:26:28.750 --> 00:26:33.219
Our students are in classes with
a power 3 to 1 and the power

00:26:33.229 --> 00:26:37.290
helps them to um navigate the
social setting.

00:26:37.459 --> 00:26:43.660
But also to help our um step
provider um inform the general

00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:47.150
teacher what our step provider
would like for our students to

00:26:47.420 --> 00:26:48.319
accomplish.

00:26:48.619 --> 00:26:54.119
Um We have um majority of
students who graduate from our program

00:26:54.130 --> 00:26:58.640
are going to a college setting
and we have students who have

00:26:58.650 --> 00:27:03.729
graduated from the college
setting and come to visit us and to

00:27:03.739 --> 00:27:06.130
show us what worked and what
didn't work.

00:27:06.430 --> 00:27:10.819
And we really look forward to
having any um students who would

00:27:10.829 --> 00:27:14.399
like to be in our inclusion
program.

00:27:14.699 --> 00:27:15.750
Thank you.

00:27:16.050 --> 00:27:16.449
Thank you.

00:27:16.459 --> 00:27:19.800
So, just to wrap up, um all our
information is on our website.

00:27:19.810 --> 00:27:22.119
So please, you know, be sure to
follow us,

00:27:22.130 --> 00:27:24.849
excuse me on Instagram. So
you'll know what we're doing.

00:27:24.859 --> 00:27:28.390
I know it's a very difficult
decision to make transition into

00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:30.829
high school. It could be very
nerve wracking,

00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:32.869
but we will have lots of tours
coming up.

00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:33.920
Our parent coordinator,

00:27:33.930 --> 00:27:36.270
Miss Sterling will reach out and
we'll at least provide you with

00:27:36.280 --> 00:27:36.839
those dates.

00:27:36.849 --> 00:27:38.910
We would love for you to come
see your school in action.

00:27:39.119 --> 00:27:42.180
But in the time during the
interim Instagram and our website

00:27:42.189 --> 00:27:44.060
will keep you up to date. Thank
you. Sorry.

00:27:44.069 --> 00:27:46.540
We went over our time. Thank
you, Alex. Of course.

00:27:46.550 --> 00:27:48.280
And we started late also, you
know,

00:27:48.290 --> 00:27:52.510
and we know you guys have a lot
um of programs to present.

00:27:52.520 --> 00:27:55.229
Um Next year, I have a very
expensive program.

00:27:55.319 --> 00:27:58.089
Thank you so much. We appreciate
you being here.

00:27:58.099 --> 00:28:01.479
We missed you in person, but you
more than made up for it today.

00:28:01.489 --> 00:28:05.910
So thank you to 721. Um
Principal Aasa and her team.

00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:09.510
Thank you so much for being
present um and for supporting your

00:28:09.520 --> 00:28:15.180
staff um on this really
important um aspect of learning about

00:28:15.189 --> 00:28:19.189
our district 75 high school.
Thank you, Sarah.

00:28:25.630 --> 00:28:28.119
Perfect. So we're going to move
on now.

00:28:28.270 --> 00:28:31.050
Is Amy here, Amy Levi Peretz.

00:28:32.260 --> 00:28:36.260
Hi, can I present myself? Yes,
you can.

00:28:37.300 --> 00:28:39.779
Let's see if I can do this. Go
ahead, take your time.

00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:46.530
So it says disabled. I I don't
think I do.

00:28:46.540 --> 00:28:50.540
You want to email it to us to
Mrs Daniel CC. Daniel five?

00:28:51.930 --> 00:28:59.430
I could just quickly talk. Um
Yeah, our program is P 168 X.

00:28:59.439 --> 00:29:03.439
We are a high school inclusion
program.

00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:08.310
Um So basically what that means
is similar to what was just said

00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:13.489
before. Um Our ratio is a 9 to 1
to 3 ratio.

00:29:13.750 --> 00:29:18.430
We have a power available for
every three students and they stay

00:29:18.439 --> 00:29:21.640
within the classroom setting to
help them transition social

00:29:21.650 --> 00:29:24.419
interaction, support them
academically.

00:29:24.719 --> 00:29:26.550
Um Our school is actually,

00:29:26.560 --> 00:29:30.810
I didn't say it is located on
Masullo Parkway in the North Bronx.

00:29:30.819 --> 00:29:34.630
Um We're near the number four
train and lots of bus services.

00:29:34.930 --> 00:29:37.699
Um, so basically, uh,

00:29:37.709 --> 00:29:40.969
school classes and programs and
activities, uh,

00:29:40.979 --> 00:29:45.180
are available to any student who
comes into our program.

00:29:45.189 --> 00:29:48.060
So, anything that the general ed
has to offer,

00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:51.439
our students have the
availability, um,

00:29:51.739 --> 00:29:54.030
to basically participate in
anything.

00:29:54.040 --> 00:29:58.050
We've had students in various
activities, club activities,

00:29:58.060 --> 00:29:59.560
sports and activities.

00:29:59.569 --> 00:30:04.089
We've had students on JV and
varsity, uh, sports activities.

00:30:04.099 --> 00:30:08.859
We've had ROTC, we've had kids
in after school clubs.

00:30:08.869 --> 00:30:14.270
Um So this is a standardized
assessment program.

00:30:14.280 --> 00:30:20.540
So our students are striving to
receive a local or uh um a

00:30:20.560 --> 00:30:23.530
region's diploma. We've actually
had students in the past,

00:30:23.540 --> 00:30:27.150
get an advanced regions diploma
depending on their academic

00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:27.939
levels.

00:30:28.239 --> 00:30:32.239
Uh We're a small program but we
really provide a lot of support

00:30:32.250 --> 00:30:35.920
for our students. And again, de
with Clinton,

00:30:35.930 --> 00:30:39.130
I know sometimes in the past
people have had their

00:30:39.140 --> 00:30:40.680
misconceptions about the high
school,

00:30:40.689 --> 00:30:44.119
but this campus has really made
a big turnaround in the last

00:30:44.130 --> 00:30:47.569
several years that I've been
there and it is really a,

00:30:47.719 --> 00:30:49.829
uh an amazing school to be at.

00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:51.770
There is so much to offer for
the kids.

00:30:51.780 --> 00:30:55.219
They just had a um a winter, a
winter ball.

00:30:55.449 --> 00:30:59.079
Um We're coming up with a
schoolwide trip to Dave and Buster,

00:30:59.209 --> 00:31:02.010
um and they include us in
everything.

00:31:02.020 --> 00:31:05.609
So they really have taken us to
be part of their school

00:31:05.619 --> 00:31:07.380
community. So again,

00:31:07.390 --> 00:31:12.479
our program is a standardized
assessment program and if you have

00:31:12.489 --> 00:31:17.810
any concerns or questions I can
drop my email in the chat and if

00:31:17.819 --> 00:31:20.199
anybody wants any other
information,

00:31:20.209 --> 00:31:23.060
I'd be happy to set up a tour or
if you just wanna have a

00:31:23.069 --> 00:31:25.560
conversation or you wanna have a
video chat,

00:31:25.569 --> 00:31:29.480
we can definitely do that as
well.

00:31:29.780 --> 00:31:35.180
Perfect Amy. Thank you so much.
So, we have a little time now,

00:31:35.189 --> 00:31:39.050
if anybody has any questions now
that we've heard from 721 and

00:31:39.060 --> 00:31:48.229
168 again, 721 is, um uh it's
sort of like uh all high school.

00:31:48.239 --> 00:31:48.839
One of,

00:31:49.099 --> 00:31:53.430
I think of it as the original
Occupational Training Center.

00:31:53.770 --> 00:31:58.349
Um They have a lot of programs
for a lot of um students with

00:31:58.359 --> 00:32:01.539
different types of needs and
then 116,

00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:04.709
much smaller high school
program,

00:32:04.719 --> 00:32:06.829
but it is an inclusion program.

00:32:07.219 --> 00:32:11.680
So, um right now, if anybody has
questions about either program,

00:32:11.689 --> 00:32:15.099
I think it would be a great time
to ask those questions because

00:32:15.109 --> 00:32:18.360
we have a few minutes. I think
before our next,

00:32:18.660 --> 00:32:21.670
our next presentation there was
a parent that had her hand up.

00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:25.250
She wants to ask, it was doing
720 one's presentation.

00:32:25.260 --> 00:32:26.790
Um I don't know if she's still
out there,

00:32:26.800 --> 00:32:29.630
but she had uh a question is
she, I don't,

00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:33.640
I don't know if she's still out
there but she did.

00:32:34.810 --> 00:32:35.589
So any,

00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:38.599
any parents can feel free to go
ahead and unmute and ask a

00:32:38.609 --> 00:32:43.250
question or uh students if you
have questions or teachers,

00:32:43.260 --> 00:32:45.520
if you have questions. Anybody
who has a question?

00:32:45.530 --> 00:32:49.530
Oh, and it is actually 17 X's
turn, Mr Daniel just reminded me.

00:32:49.540 --> 00:32:51.809
So if there's no questions,
we'll move forward.

00:32:52.109 --> 00:32:58.520
But if anybody has a question
now is the time, um,

00:32:58.709 --> 00:33:02.599
after we see all the good
morning, by the way,

00:33:02.650 --> 00:33:06.250
after we see all the
presentations, is there, like,

00:33:06.260 --> 00:33:07.640
how do we go about it?

00:33:07.650 --> 00:33:12.400
This is like with 375 I don't
know, it might be different.

00:33:12.739 --> 00:33:18.359
Um Do we sit down with the
child's counselor and kind of go um

00:33:18.719 --> 00:33:21.830
about the best way? Yes, that's
the best way.

00:33:22.130 --> 00:33:25.600
And then we'll take it from
there.

00:33:25.900 --> 00:33:29.880
It's not as complicated as
community school applications,

00:33:29.890 --> 00:33:32.750
but we want to make sure you
know that you have all the proper

00:33:32.760 --> 00:33:35.189
information about the program.

00:33:35.199 --> 00:33:39.199
So a a post high school fair
conversation is very important.

00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:43.380
OK. And Hazel Rios will be on
this uh in,

00:33:43.390 --> 00:33:46.099
in an hour or so and she's the
placement officer.

00:33:46.219 --> 00:33:48.810
So she's gonna be able to give
us some very good information as

00:33:48.819 --> 00:33:51.780
well. Absolutely. I was just
gonna say that.

00:33:51.790 --> 00:33:54.380
So um every school is different.

00:33:54.390 --> 00:33:57.609
You may follow up with your
counselor or your administrator on

00:33:57.619 --> 00:33:58.229
site.

00:33:58.239 --> 00:34:02.520
But definitely Hazel Rios will
explain the overall district high

00:34:02.530 --> 00:34:05.660
school um articulation process
when she comes on.

00:34:05.670 --> 00:34:06.839
So, thank you for that question.

00:34:06.849 --> 00:34:07.879
That was a really good question.

00:34:08.179 --> 00:34:11.070
I also wanted to say I have to
pop up and run to another meeting,

00:34:11.080 --> 00:34:12.800
but I will be back a little bit
later.

00:34:12.820 --> 00:34:16.129
So I hope you enjoy the rest of
today's fear. Thank you,

00:34:16.139 --> 00:34:19.679
um Doctor Sullivan and the 188
team for hosting and helping the

00:34:19.689 --> 00:34:23.649
parents and students to
transition in and I hope everybody has a

00:34:23.659 --> 00:34:27.649
wonderful day. Stay safe and
well. Thank you, Miss Johnson.

00:34:27.659 --> 00:34:31.300
Appreciate it. Thank you, Miss
Johnson. Ok.

00:34:31.310 --> 00:34:35.020
I see Mr mccarthy's here from 17
X.

00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:38.120
Um So are you ready, Mr
mccarthy?

00:34:38.129 --> 00:34:39.739
Is somebody else here from your
team?

00:34:39.750 --> 00:34:41.750
I'm looking at so many names.

00:34:42.530 --> 00:34:46.429
It's just me today. So awesome,
welcome.

00:34:46.439 --> 00:34:48.270
Thank you for being here.

00:34:48.570 --> 00:34:52.149
Um Are you gonna just chat or
did you have a presentation you

00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:54.128
wanted to share?

I have a brief presentation.
Wonderful.

00:35:00.080 --> 00:35:02.530
You're gonna share it for us or
are we sharing it for you?

00:35:02.540 --> 00:35:05.639
I can't quite remember and he
shares this.

00:35:05.729 --> 00:35:13.280
Oh, go ahead, take your time,
take your time today.

00:35:17.899 --> 00:35:19.899
There we go.

00:35:22.290 --> 00:35:24.290
Ok.

00:35:26.510 --> 00:35:28.510
Hello, everybody. My name is
Robert mccarthy.

00:35:28.520 --> 00:35:32.010
I'm the job developer at P 17 X
and I am presenting uh

00:35:32.020 --> 00:35:36.020
information about our high
school.

00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:40.260
So P 17 X high school programs
are located at the Stevenson

00:35:40.270 --> 00:35:43.870
Educational Campus located at
Lafayette Avenue in the Castle

00:35:43.879 --> 00:35:45.300
Hill section of the Bronx.

00:35:45.530 --> 00:35:47.830
And we have a variety of options
at Stevenson.

00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:50.909
We have alternate assessment, we
have standardized assessments,

00:35:51.209 --> 00:35:54.510
we have inclusion programs and
we have a high school Equis leads

00:35:54.520 --> 00:35:59.149
to pull them up and program as
well in the building Uh So the

00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:01.429
first stop is our alternate
assessment program.

00:36:01.439 --> 00:36:04.040
We have 611811 and 12,

00:36:04.050 --> 00:36:09.600
11 classes we have in both
academic and vocational tracks.

00:36:10.250 --> 00:36:12.949
And for our alternate assessment
students,

00:36:12.959 --> 00:36:15.830
we have in school and community
community-based work training

00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:16.570
programs.

00:36:16.870 --> 00:36:21.389
Uh We have a variety of in
school work sites as well as a few

00:36:21.399 --> 00:36:25.570
community-based partners who
work with our students and our

00:36:25.580 --> 00:36:27.159
alternate assessment students.

00:36:27.169 --> 00:36:31.239
Our goal for them is to
participate in those training programs.

00:36:31.659 --> 00:36:35.780
Uh Then we have our standardized
assessment students.

00:36:36.510 --> 00:36:40.909
Uh Our standardized assessment
program is new this year it is 12,

00:36:40.919 --> 00:36:42.909
11, currently,

00:36:42.919 --> 00:36:46.610
45 9th graders are participating
in the standardized assessment

00:36:46.620 --> 00:36:51.560
program and they have access to
vocational training as well as

00:36:51.729 --> 00:36:55.860
uh working toward taking the
regents and receiving a regents

00:36:55.870 --> 00:36:57.870
diploma.

00:36:58.580 --> 00:36:59.080
Next,

00:36:59.090 --> 00:37:03.409
we have our inclusion and high
school equivalency programs at P

00:37:03.419 --> 00:37:07.060
17. So we have five inclusion
classes across two partner high

00:37:07.070 --> 00:37:07.929
schools within the building.

00:37:07.939 --> 00:37:09.379
We have Gotham Collaborative
High School,

00:37:09.389 --> 00:37:13.909
which we have four classes
there. So it's around 36 students.

00:37:13.919 --> 00:37:17.540
Uh 32 students participate in
Gotham Collaboratives inclusion

00:37:17.550 --> 00:37:21.699
program and we have one at the
Antonia Pantos Preparatory

00:37:21.709 --> 00:37:25.270
Academy. Uh that is one class of
ninth graders.

00:37:25.570 --> 00:37:29.469
Uh We've been with partnered
with Goth and Collaborative High

00:37:29.479 --> 00:37:32.860
school since I believe 2018 at
this point.

00:37:32.870 --> 00:37:35.000
So we have had a six year
partnership with them.

00:37:35.300 --> 00:37:39.350
Uh And uh just recently,

00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:44.840
we have developed an inclusion
program with P two G pathways to

00:37:44.850 --> 00:37:48.850
graduation. So, students who are
18 years old and older,

00:37:48.860 --> 00:37:52.530
who would like to receive a high
school equivalency diploma are

00:37:52.540 --> 00:37:56.540
able to participate in that
program.

00:37:57.760 --> 00:38:02.100
So, uh because we're centrally
located at the Stevenson campus,

00:38:02.110 --> 00:38:05.820
students across all settings
have on-site access to speech

00:38:05.830 --> 00:38:08.419
services, counseling,
occupational therapy,

00:38:08.429 --> 00:38:12.429
job coaching and transition
assistance.

00:38:13.820 --> 00:38:17.120
And I'd like to get more into
detail about our vocational

00:38:17.129 --> 00:38:20.830
program as our vocational
program has definitely taken off in

00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:22.760
the past few years. This year,

00:38:22.770 --> 00:38:27.649
we have five vocational
classrooms which allow our students to

00:38:27.659 --> 00:38:30.899
receive vocational training
every day.

00:38:31.149 --> 00:38:36.250
Uh They include the culinary
arts room where our students work

00:38:36.260 --> 00:38:39.520
on cooking as well as running
our school based cafe,

00:38:39.530 --> 00:38:41.300
the Shin and Dine cafe.

00:38:41.600 --> 00:38:44.780
We have a cricket design lab
where the students are designing

00:38:44.790 --> 00:38:52.239
t-shirts hats, uh greeting cards
and other printed designs.

00:38:52.989 --> 00:38:58.070
There is the print shop which
runs basically the uh the office

00:38:58.080 --> 00:39:01.629
supplies for the school as well
as printing any of the needs of

00:39:01.639 --> 00:39:02.510
our teachers.

00:39:02.810 --> 00:39:05.639
Then we have our media
communications room where our students

00:39:05.649 --> 00:39:12.659
are learning how to work in a
actual studio and how to produce

00:39:12.669 --> 00:39:17.429
new segments and as well as work
with video and other uh digital

00:39:17.439 --> 00:39:21.149
devices. And then we have our
611 work site class.

00:39:21.159 --> 00:39:25.310
Uh We have students who are
working right now at a church on Gun

00:39:25.320 --> 00:39:27.070
Hill road, not today because of
the snow,

00:39:27.209 --> 00:39:29.060
but daily they go there,

00:39:29.229 --> 00:39:32.379
they work in the morning and
they receive vocational training

00:39:32.389 --> 00:39:35.179
that way. As our students become
16,

00:39:35.479 --> 00:39:40.199
they switch over to the
vocational track which allows them to

00:39:40.209 --> 00:39:44.209
participate in that. This is for
alternate assessment students.

00:39:45.310 --> 00:39:49.780
And here's some pictures of our
students at work doing

00:39:49.790 --> 00:39:51.790
vocational training.

00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:56.419
Um I could attest the
quesadillas were very good that day from

00:39:56.429 --> 00:39:58.429
the uh culinary classroom.

00:40:01.590 --> 00:40:02.169
And then I,

00:40:02.409 --> 00:40:06.729
I have to show you what our
media communications firm is doing.

00:40:19.719 --> 00:40:24.840
What's up P 70 X, my name is
Andy and this is my king.

00:40:24.850 --> 00:40:31.620
Hello, everyone will be

We will be celebrating
Valentine's Day at Black History Month.

00:40:45.260 --> 00:40:50.750
We will be introducing a diamond
called Digging for Diamonds.

00:40:51.510 --> 00:40:55.320
What we do in taking a di as we
intervene.

00:40:55.330 --> 00:40:58.919
Assistant Principle about what
happened in the school.

00:40:59.219 --> 00:41:04.570
We made so many new episodes of
P 17 X I nine news.

00:41:05.540 --> 00:41:07.540
We look you enjoy our stuff.

00:41:08.310 --> 00:41:12.370
We will continue to add more P
seven TX information.

00:41:12.929 --> 00:41:17.870
Thank you. Each week, our
students produce a new segment.

00:41:18.429 --> 00:41:23.510
Uh Now it's over 20 minutes long
each week in which they go

00:41:23.520 --> 00:41:26.320
around and interview teachers,
administrators,

00:41:26.560 --> 00:41:31.760
other students give out birthday
shout outs and it's been an

00:41:31.770 --> 00:41:33.750
awesome experience for our
students.

00:41:33.889 --> 00:41:35.330
They're learning film editing,

00:41:35.340 --> 00:41:38.290
they are learning how to create
scripts.

00:41:38.590 --> 00:41:43.750
Uh And uh the hope is that this
will carry over to a job within

00:41:43.760 --> 00:41:46.750
the industry when they graduate.

00:41:47.179 --> 00:41:51.179
Uh Coming soon to our program
are a hydroponics lab.

00:41:51.750 --> 00:41:56.090
We have an urban garden in the
backyard that is going to be

00:41:56.100 --> 00:41:56.840
redeveloped.

00:41:56.850 --> 00:42:03.199
It's a huge garden and it's
going to become really a great place

00:42:03.209 --> 00:42:06.709
in the Castle Hill section. Uh a
model apartments.

00:42:06.719 --> 00:42:11.550
We received funding from the
Bronx Borough president to build an

00:42:11.560 --> 00:42:14.709
actual apartment within the
school,

00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:18.360
which will allow our students to
work on life skills related to

00:42:18.370 --> 00:42:19.260
living by themselves.

00:42:19.310 --> 00:42:23.439
A stem lab and we're working on
gathering more work sites as our

00:42:23.449 --> 00:42:25.449
students become older.

00:42:26.100 --> 00:42:28.649
We have internship opportunities
that many of the other schools

00:42:28.659 --> 00:42:30.609
have as well. So we have worked
on Grum.

00:42:30.909 --> 00:42:34.270
Uh It's a small cohort of about
six or seven students that were

00:42:34.280 --> 00:42:38.590
chosen to participate in a 20
week program where they receive uh

00:42:40.709 --> 00:42:46.110
career training as well as the
ability to attend a college class

00:42:46.239 --> 00:42:51.879
and then work for about 1213
weeks afterwards and receive a very

00:42:51.889 --> 00:42:54.710
generous financial incentive to
do that.

00:42:55.010 --> 00:42:58.250
Our top internship program which
allows our students to have a

00:42:58.260 --> 00:43:01.750
financial incentive for the work
they're already doing in their

00:43:01.760 --> 00:43:03.800
vocational classrooms and around
the school.

00:43:03.820 --> 00:43:05.600
And then of course, we have
Syep,

00:43:05.610 --> 00:43:09.350
which is career development for
our 14 and 15 year olds and work

00:43:09.360 --> 00:43:11.360
for our 16 year olds.

00:43:12.429 --> 00:43:19.270
Ok. So uh thank you for
listening in about the P 17.

00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:22.050
If you have any questions or
would like to schedule a tour.

00:43:22.060 --> 00:43:25.089
You could reach out to the
parent coordinator or myself.

00:43:25.389 --> 00:43:28.439
Uh Thank you, Mr mccarthy.

00:43:28.449 --> 00:43:32.199
What a beautiful presentation,
Miss April.

00:43:32.209 --> 00:43:37.250
And I had the pleasure of
visiting your school a few months ago

00:43:37.260 --> 00:43:41.389
and it was so much fun. Every
class was engaged.

00:43:41.689 --> 00:43:44.209
They were doing so many
different kinds of things.

00:43:44.489 --> 00:43:48.570
Um We absolutely loved it. The
campus itself is beautiful.

00:43:48.899 --> 00:43:52.229
Um We saw some of our previous
students.

00:43:52.260 --> 00:43:55.179
Uh We love, love, love, loved
it.

00:43:55.479 --> 00:43:57.540
High school is a very exciting
time.

00:43:57.550 --> 00:43:59.969
We visited many of the high
schools and every time we visit a

00:43:59.979 --> 00:44:03.820
high school, we really are
amazed at how many, how,

00:44:03.830 --> 00:44:07.919
how much hands on activities the
kids are doing and academics,

00:44:07.929 --> 00:44:13.780
there's always a very strong
balance between um academics and um

00:44:13.790 --> 00:44:17.800
academic skills and math and
reading and then this other huge

00:44:17.810 --> 00:44:21.959
component of hands on learning.
So we love it and it's great.

00:44:22.189 --> 00:44:27.889
Does anybody have any questions
for 17 X which also has um

00:44:27.899 --> 00:44:31.179
alternate assessment programs as
well as standard assessment

00:44:31.189 --> 00:44:33.189
programs?

00:44:34.719 --> 00:44:36.719
It's a lot to take in.

00:44:38.969 --> 00:44:40.870
It looks like Jacqueline.

00:44:40.879 --> 00:44:44.879
I don't know if Jacqueline
Acevedo has a question. Not sure.

00:44:50.219 --> 00:44:52.219
Is a a do you have a question?

00:44:54.159 --> 00:44:58.389
I just, I'm so sorry. That's OK.

00:44:59.270 --> 00:45:01.250
I don't have an issue to log in.

00:45:01.260 --> 00:45:02.760
I have to contact so many
people.

00:45:02.770 --> 00:45:05.530
I was trying for 45 minutes
because nobody sent me the link

00:45:05.540 --> 00:45:08.090

00:45:08.100 --> 00:45:12.780
um did did you guys just talk
about one particular school at

00:45:12.790 --> 00:45:15.860

a few schools.

00:45:15.870 --> 00:45:23.580
We've had 721 and we've had uh

like that information for my own.

00:45:28.929 --> 00:45:33.310
We will do that for sure. Also,
it's being recorded as well.

00:45:33.320 --> 00:45:37.270
So you'll be able to go back and
look at, you know, the school.

00:45:37.370 --> 00:45:42.850

little bit about the Pays Lab P

00:47:11.719 --> 00:47:15.560
AES Lab. I think that's an
interesting thing.

00:47:15.570 --> 00:47:18.719
So part of our vocational
program is that we are allowed,

00:47:18.729 --> 00:47:24.469
we are able to uh assess the
skills and interests of our

00:47:24.479 --> 00:47:27.129
students via our Pace Lab. A
Pace.

00:47:27.429 --> 00:47:33.969
The Pace Lab is an innovative a
lab that students are able to

00:47:33.979 --> 00:47:36.810
try out a variety and I mean,

00:47:36.820 --> 00:47:43.229
a large variety of different job
or career areas,

00:47:43.860 --> 00:47:50.820
anything from uh construction to
financial management to uh

00:47:53.020 --> 00:47:54.280
marketing.

00:47:54.580 --> 00:47:57.560
There are just so many different
opportunities for our students

00:47:57.570 --> 00:48:04.020
to do this and it allows us to
assess where our students would

00:48:04.030 --> 00:48:08.500
do best in terms of vocational
training as well as placing in

00:48:08.510 --> 00:48:10.510
internships and work sites.

00:48:10.820 --> 00:48:14.139
Uh It's our first year doing
this and so far it's been going

00:48:14.149 --> 00:48:20.110
great and uh the students love
it and it's going to be very

00:48:20.120 --> 00:48:24.120
helpful for us in the future.
It's real, really innovative.

00:48:24.669 --> 00:48:30.489
Would, would you say that it is
for um the 611 students?

00:48:30.500 --> 00:48:33.110
811 students, 1211 students. I,

00:48:33.120 --> 00:48:36.649
I I'm not even sure but it
seemed almost like something that was

00:48:36.659 --> 00:48:41.209
suitable for every level. Yes,
it is.

00:48:41.219 --> 00:48:46.139
Suitable for every level from
611 to standardized students.

00:48:46.459 --> 00:48:49.810
Uh We are very different.

00:48:50.090 --> 00:48:55.010
A lot of great things about our
students via this lab.

00:49:00.010 --> 00:49:00.830
I'm looking,

00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:04.389
I'm sorry that I'm and I'm
speaking to you at the same time as

00:49:04.399 --> 00:49:08.399
trying to text Miss Miss Oakley.
Bear with me one moment.

00:49:14.080 --> 00:49:18.229
We may have to, who's who mister
Daniel, who comes after?

00:49:18.830 --> 00:49:24.340
Um, 7 23 176 is 176.

00:49:24.350 --> 00:49:29.600
Here is Ozzie here.

00:49:29.659 --> 00:49:35.169
Hm All right. Give me one
moment. I think I can get my soclean.

00:50:09.500 --> 00:50:13.699
Um I think we should go ahead
and see if 188 can go.

00:50:13.790 --> 00:50:15.790
188. Step up,

00:50:16.149 --> 00:50:19.919
Richard just commented that she
can go ahead with Miss Forrest.

00:50:19.959 --> 00:50:21.239
Oh, that would be wonderful.

00:50:21.250 --> 00:50:24.979
So we're going to change the
schedule a little bit and 188 will

00:50:24.989 --> 00:50:30.020
go and I will try to reach out
to 7 23 20 see if they're going

00:50:30.030 --> 00:50:32.030
to be free for the other time.

00:50:33.969 --> 00:50:34.389
Sure.

00:50:34.399 --> 00:50:40.070
And I did send um the
presentation link um this morning, but I,

00:50:40.080 --> 00:50:44.080
I'm also happy to share my
screen. Oh, there it is. Perfect.

00:50:45.570 --> 00:50:49.899
You can go ahead. Thank you. Um
My name is Kristen Burchard.

00:50:49.909 --> 00:50:53.939
I'm one of the counselors at 188
at our high school site and

00:50:53.949 --> 00:50:57.889
I'll be presenting um with my
colleague as well.

00:50:58.189 --> 00:51:02.189
Hello, my name is Miss Forest. I
will be pre presenting as well.

00:51:03.439 --> 00:51:06.540
Um So everything we're gonna
speak about today.

00:51:06.550 --> 00:51:12.179
Um is about our high school
location which is um our address is

00:51:12.189 --> 00:51:16.620
730 Concourse Village West. Um
Our principal,

00:51:16.629 --> 00:51:21.159
who we heard from earlier is
Miss Johnson and our assistant

00:51:21.169 --> 00:51:25.169
principal of the high school is
Miss Luciano.

00:51:26.100 --> 00:51:28.100
All right. Next slide.

00:51:29.620 --> 00:51:32.879
All right. So we conveniently
are located at uh seven.

00:51:32.889 --> 00:51:37.449
The address is 7 30 C Concourse
Village. Um You can take the,

00:51:37.689 --> 00:51:43.080
the 2 to 4 to 5 from 149 from
Grand Concourse or you can take

00:51:43.090 --> 00:51:45.340
the BZ and four at Yankee
Stadium.

00:51:45.479 --> 00:51:47.629
There's also the buses that run
along.

00:51:47.639 --> 00:51:51.370
There is the bus, Bronx number
one and Bronx number two.

00:51:51.530 --> 00:51:55.129
It's a bit challenging if you
try to drive because parking is a

00:51:55.139 --> 00:51:57.139
bit challenging.

00:51:59.070 --> 00:51:59.530
All right.

00:51:59.540 --> 00:52:04.260
Um One of the highlights of our
school is that we have a

00:52:04.270 --> 00:52:06.520
beautiful campus and beautiful
facility.

00:52:06.530 --> 00:52:10.330
So we wanted to show you um a
few pictures of the building.

00:52:10.340 --> 00:52:11.969
It is a shared campus.

00:52:11.979 --> 00:52:17.120
Um So we are located with um
some other high schools and this is

00:52:17.129 --> 00:52:22.739
a picture of some of our shared
um common areas um outside of

00:52:22.750 --> 00:52:25.370
the school building and the next
few slides will,

00:52:25.379 --> 00:52:28.919
will show um more images of the
school as well.

00:52:29.219 --> 00:52:31.199
Yes, this is our football field.

00:52:31.209 --> 00:52:33.959
Now, we also like, you know,
play volleyball,

00:52:33.969 --> 00:52:36.360
we have different activities on
a football field.

00:52:36.370 --> 00:52:40.370
So it's actually it's a
beautiful um campus.

00:52:41.389 --> 00:52:43.590
So this is our beautiful
auditorium.

00:52:43.600 --> 00:52:48.949
So fun fact, we, um, Mar, um, we
filmed a movie here.

00:52:48.959 --> 00:52:52.959
It's called Married Me with
Jennifer Lopez and Olson Wilson.

00:52:53.399 --> 00:52:55.020
And they use that auditorium.

00:52:55.219 --> 00:52:57.989
Our students even had the
pleasure of sitting in the,

00:52:58.000 --> 00:53:00.540
in the audience and watching the
movie.

00:53:00.550 --> 00:53:01.590
So if you watch the movie,

00:53:01.600 --> 00:53:04.780
you'll see this beautiful
auditorium as well as some parts of

00:53:04.790 --> 00:53:06.790
the school in the hallways.

00:53:09.729 --> 00:53:12.590
All right, here's a picture of
our library which, um,

00:53:12.600 --> 00:53:17.590
is shared between 188 and then
the other schools on campus.

00:53:17.639 --> 00:53:21.590
Um But there are many times when
the librarian,

00:53:21.600 --> 00:53:27.149
she's been very generous with
the space and allows 188 classes

00:53:27.159 --> 00:53:33.129
to come in. Um So the students
do utilize the library regularly.

00:53:33.139 --> 00:53:37.699
Um And it is a great, you know,
quiet um space.

00:53:39.699 --> 00:53:41.230
All right. Next slide.

00:53:41.530 --> 00:53:45.520
So our vision we believe all
students can learn are entitled to

00:53:45.530 --> 00:53:49.840
be provided with equitable
access to the best education possible.

00:53:49.850 --> 00:53:54.639
Our 2003 and 2004 theme is
promoting foundations for success and

00:53:54.649 --> 00:53:56.649
independence.

00:53:58.530 --> 00:54:02.969
So these are the educational
programs um that we have at the

00:54:02.979 --> 00:54:08.270
high school. Um So we have a 6
to 1 to 1 program.

00:54:08.280 --> 00:54:11.959
So six students, one teacher,
one paraprofessional.

00:54:12.060 --> 00:54:14.469
Um That's alternate assessment.

00:54:14.729 --> 00:54:19.770
We have 8 to 1 to 1 classes, um
eight students, one teacher,

00:54:19.780 --> 00:54:23.000
one para professional, also
alternate assessment.

00:54:23.300 --> 00:54:28.389
Um We have a 12 to 1 to 1
program that is alternate assessment

00:54:28.830 --> 00:54:31.330
and we have an inclusion
program,

00:54:31.340 --> 00:54:33.770
which is a standard assessment
program.

00:54:34.040 --> 00:54:37.590
Um And we'll get into more
detail about that program um towards

00:54:37.600 --> 00:54:39.729
the end of the presentation.

00:54:42.570 --> 00:54:47.020
So, so um if you're a student,
we have many related services,

00:54:47.030 --> 00:54:51.330
we have counseling, uh physical
therapy, occupational therapy,

00:54:51.340 --> 00:54:53.159
speech and language therapy,

00:54:53.229 --> 00:54:57.229
English as a second language and
hearing services.

00:54:59.750 --> 00:55:04.810
So, in addition to the core
classes that are taught by,

00:55:04.820 --> 00:55:08.329
you know, each classroom teacher
such as English Math,

00:55:08.629 --> 00:55:13.199
um we also have some cluster
classes um that are offered.

00:55:13.209 --> 00:55:17.709
So we have a technology teacher
that teaches technology um to

00:55:17.719 --> 00:55:22.590
all of our six classes, eight
classes and 12 classes.

00:55:22.600 --> 00:55:24.399
We have a health teacher,

00:55:24.689 --> 00:55:30.810
um an art teacher who also um
runs our hydroponics lab,

00:55:30.820 --> 00:55:35.020
which there's a picture um there
on this slide,

00:55:35.280 --> 00:55:40.030
we have adaptive physical
education um which that is the other

00:55:40.040 --> 00:55:41.889
picture that you see on the
slide.

00:55:42.189 --> 00:55:47.540
And we have um AC OS teacher and
C OS stands for career

00:55:47.550 --> 00:55:51.209
development and occupational
studies. So in that class,

00:55:51.219 --> 00:55:55.879
um students learn about
different career options and life skills

00:55:55.889 --> 00:55:59.889
that can help them become
independent in the future.

00:56:00.620 --> 00:56:03.909
I got a question. So we have
many work sites.

00:56:03.919 --> 00:56:09.110
So we have a cafe and they uh
make wonderful food.

00:56:09.120 --> 00:56:12.020
Um We also have the horticulture
and gardening.

00:56:12.030 --> 00:56:14.489
We have the Mount Haven library
where we have some of our

00:56:14.500 --> 00:56:17.550
students, uh our assistants in
the library,

00:56:17.760 --> 00:56:19.110
we have our couriers,

00:56:19.120 --> 00:56:23.229
we have some students working at
CV S and uh and they're really

00:56:23.239 --> 00:56:25.229
excited about working at CV S.

00:56:25.239 --> 00:56:28.229
We also have uh students working
in the main office.

00:56:28.239 --> 00:56:31.020
We have one of our students
working as an internship.

00:56:31.310 --> 00:56:33.250
He's very familiar with the
whole school,

00:56:33.260 --> 00:56:35.250
helping out with the school, um,

00:56:35.260 --> 00:56:39.080
supplies and inventory and we
also have a technology intern as

00:56:39.090 --> 00:56:41.090
well.

00:56:43.080 --> 00:56:46.750
Um We wanted to highlight a few
of the community partnerships

00:56:46.760 --> 00:56:49.379
that we've built over the years.

00:56:49.389 --> 00:56:53.800
Um Another school mentioned
summer Youth employment program.

00:56:53.810 --> 00:56:58.290
Um So that is paid employment
for students during the summer

00:56:58.300 --> 00:56:58.820
months.

00:56:58.830 --> 00:57:03.100
And that could be either on site
at the school or it could be in

00:57:03.110 --> 00:57:05.340
the community. Um Last summer,

00:57:05.350 --> 00:57:09.899
I think we had about 40 students
participating in summer youth.

00:57:09.909 --> 00:57:13.740
So we had a very large number of
students that did Summer Youth.

00:57:14.040 --> 00:57:19.280
Um We also have a community
based organization called the Center

00:57:19.290 --> 00:57:25.800
for Educational Innovation. Um
It's located at all 188 sites.

00:57:25.810 --> 00:57:30.899
Um So that is another resource
that we have access to.

00:57:30.969 --> 00:57:34.020
We've had students attend Co op
tech,

00:57:34.030 --> 00:57:37.790
which is a half day vocational
training program.

00:57:38.090 --> 00:57:40.649
Um located on the campus.

00:57:40.659 --> 00:57:44.349
We have um medical services
provided by Montefiore.

00:57:44.649 --> 00:57:48.409
So there's a Montefiore clinic
where students can have,

00:57:48.419 --> 00:57:52.270
you know, their checkups done,
they can get vaccinations done.

00:57:52.280 --> 00:57:52.830
So,

00:57:53.090 --> 00:57:56.489
um there we do have a number of
students that take advantage of

00:57:56.500 --> 00:57:59.159
having Monteur directly on site.

00:57:59.590 --> 00:58:05.399
Um And then a program that we
started um I would say last year

00:58:05.409 --> 00:58:09.550
we have a partnership with a HR
C where uh we work with one of

00:58:09.560 --> 00:58:14.100
their counselors to deliver a
life skills curriculum um to some

00:58:14.110 --> 00:58:16.110
of our classes.

00:58:18.929 --> 00:58:22.750
Ok. So we have um, a lot of
events going on in our school.

00:58:22.760 --> 00:58:26.629
We have the Four Feasts where we
just enjoy every student that

00:58:26.639 --> 00:58:30.270
um every student really enjoys
and they look forward to it.

00:58:30.280 --> 00:58:32.429
Look forward to it every year.

00:58:32.439 --> 00:58:35.189
We have a spirit week where our
kids really participate.

00:58:35.199 --> 00:58:37.870
You could see all the students
have their pajamas on.

00:58:37.879 --> 00:58:42.780
We celebrate br uh breast cancer
awareness walk every year as we

00:58:42.790 --> 00:58:45.669
showed you during the, during
the football field,

00:58:45.679 --> 00:58:47.870
we walk around the football
field as well.

00:58:47.879 --> 00:58:49.489
We have a photography club,

00:58:49.500 --> 00:58:52.550
student council multicultural
activities.

00:58:52.850 --> 00:58:56.850
So we, we keep our students
quite busy, so they keep us busy.

00:58:59.209 --> 00:59:04.479
Um So I wanted to come back to
our inclusion program that um I

00:59:04.489 --> 00:59:06.119
mentioned at the beginning.

00:59:06.419 --> 00:59:10.790
So the inclusion program is a
partnership between the two

00:59:10.800 --> 00:59:15.879
schools. Um So between 188 and
Bronx Leadership Academy two.

00:59:16.760 --> 00:59:21.189
So bl A two is located on our
campus.

00:59:21.209 --> 00:59:24.469
So students in the inclusion
program,

00:59:24.479 --> 00:59:29.350
um it's a sets model which
stands for special education teacher

00:59:29.360 --> 00:59:30.919
support services.

00:59:31.219 --> 00:59:35.530
And it means that they take
general education classes at BL A

00:59:35.540 --> 00:59:36.219
two,

00:59:36.350 --> 00:59:39.649
but they receive the support of
a special education teacher from

00:59:39.659 --> 00:59:40.639
188.

00:59:40.899 --> 00:59:45.489
Um And then they receive all of
the related services from 188

00:59:45.500 --> 00:59:48.979
such as counseling, speech OTPT.

00:59:49.139 --> 00:59:54.040
Um I know other schools
presented about their inclusion program.

00:59:54.050 --> 00:59:56.379
So it sounds like it's a very
similar model, right?

00:59:56.389 --> 00:59:58.919
A partnership between two
schools.

00:59:58.929 --> 01:00:02.290
One school is the general
education school.

01:00:02.530 --> 01:00:04.370
Um students graduate,

01:00:04.379 --> 01:00:08.229
they ultimately graduate from
that general education school with

01:00:08.239 --> 01:00:10.220
a New York State high school
diploma.

01:00:10.520 --> 01:00:14.399
But all of their services are
provided by district 75.

01:00:14.620 --> 01:00:19.120
Um Bronx Leadership Academy too
is very much a college

01:00:19.129 --> 01:00:25.280
preparatory school. Um Students
across grades nine through 12,

01:00:25.290 --> 01:00:28.770
take college seminar classes
where they work on college

01:00:28.780 --> 01:00:32.209
applications and applying to
scholarships.

01:00:32.219 --> 01:00:35.770
Um and students in 11th and 12th
grade,

01:00:36.070 --> 01:00:38.330
they all get matched with a
mentor.

01:00:38.340 --> 01:00:41.320
They're part of um the I mentor
program.

01:00:41.620 --> 01:00:45.780
So for a student to attend the
inclusion program,

01:00:45.790 --> 01:00:49.000
it's something, you know, that's
reflected in their IEP.

01:00:49.229 --> 01:00:53.909
Um I will say we have had
students who were in our self

01:00:53.949 --> 01:00:56.729
contained alternate assessment
program who made a lot of

01:00:56.739 --> 01:00:57.780
progress.

01:00:58.010 --> 01:01:04.810
Um And ultimately, you know,
their IEPs were um you know,

01:01:04.820 --> 01:01:09.479
redone and change so that they
ended up transferring into the

01:01:09.489 --> 01:01:10.929
inclusion program.

01:01:11.199 --> 01:01:14.909
So, you know, I just wanted to
say that, you know, it's,

01:01:14.919 --> 01:01:18.949
it's something reflected in the
IEP but a student can start off

01:01:18.959 --> 01:01:23.669
in self contained and then end
up graduating from inclusion.

01:01:24.010 --> 01:01:27.239
Um So if this is a program that,
you know,

01:01:27.250 --> 01:01:28.770
you would like more information
about,

01:01:28.780 --> 01:01:33.110
there is um kind of a different
contact person.

01:01:33.409 --> 01:01:33.620
Uh,

01:01:33.629 --> 01:01:37.830
Mr Inman is the Inclusion
liaison and that's his email address

01:01:37.860 --> 01:01:39.370
and phone number. And then
we'll,

01:01:39.379 --> 01:01:43.239
we'll also show you the contact
information for our parent

01:01:43.250 --> 01:01:45.219
coordinator. Um,

01:01:45.229 --> 01:01:50.060
who would be the point person
for our self-contained programs.

01:01:54.070 --> 01:02:07.149
Then we have a video, um, to
show you, um, um, um, uh,

01:02:11.639 --> 01:02:15.639
I'm not getting anywhere right
now.

01:02:17.100 --> 01:02:18.710
No.

01:02:19.010 --> 01:02:21.010
Um.

01:02:21.879 --> 01:02:23.879
Mhm.

01:02:36.090 --> 01:02:38.090
Mhm.

01:02:38.830 --> 01:02:46.169
Um, um, hi.

01:02:47.060 --> 01:02:49.060
Nothing.

01:02:49.820 --> 01:03:32.189
Um, um, our students working in
the cafe doing a fabulous job.

01:03:38.110 --> 01:04:14.310
Uh um, no one's in the world.

01:04:14.770 --> 01:04:15.629
That's my challenge.

01:04:15.899 --> 01:04:36.159
No one in the to so, um, I think
loves me like we do.

01:04:37.260 --> 01:04:39.260
Ok.

01:04:39.689 --> 01:04:49.709
Oh, yes, I, all right.

01:04:49.719 --> 01:04:50.919
Um I know the video.

01:04:50.929 --> 01:04:53.290
It was a little hard to hear the
music that went along with it,

01:04:53.300 --> 01:04:54.159
but that's ok.

01:04:54.169 --> 01:04:59.439
I think everyone I hope got the
idea from seeing um the photos

01:04:59.449 --> 01:05:01.449
and videos and there's one
final,

01:05:01.459 --> 01:05:05.550
there should be one final slide
with our parent coordinators

01:05:05.560 --> 01:05:09.239
information. Um, that's Laura
Combs.

01:05:09.250 --> 01:05:14.729
Um, and she would be the point
person for our self contained

01:05:15.080 --> 01:05:16.820
programs. Um,

01:05:16.830 --> 01:05:20.989
and then Mr Inman is the point
person for our inclusion program,

01:05:22.000 --> 01:05:24.649
but if you're not sure who to
reach out to,

01:05:24.659 --> 01:05:27.979
you could reach out to Miss
Combs first, um,

01:05:27.989 --> 01:05:30.230
she's putting her email in the
chat.

01:05:30.530 --> 01:05:34.610
Um, but there should be also one
final slide that has,

01:05:36.830 --> 01:05:40.830
that's the last slide, the
video.

01:05:41.320 --> 01:05:43.370
Um ok, so she put it in the
chat.

01:05:43.379 --> 01:05:46.669
So if you wanted to reach out to
our parent coordinator.

01:05:46.969 --> 01:05:48.459
Um Laura Combs.

01:05:48.469 --> 01:05:56.560
Um Her email address is Combs
three at schools.nyc.gov and she's

01:05:56.570 --> 01:06:08.229
the parent coordinator for 188
beautiful presentation.

01:06:08.239 --> 01:06:11.750
Thank you, Miss Brochard and
Miss Forrest.

01:06:12.050 --> 01:06:17.919
Um I think it's again showing
how uh many district 75 high

01:06:17.929 --> 01:06:21.089
schools have an alternate
assessment program.

01:06:21.389 --> 01:06:24.520
Um As well as inclusion
opportunities.

01:06:24.530 --> 01:06:26.469
Inclusion is our mainstreaming.

01:06:26.479 --> 01:06:31.040
A district 75 mainstreaming
offering for students who are ready

01:06:31.050 --> 01:06:35.989
to be included into uh the
general education environment.

01:06:36.000 --> 01:06:37.929
It's not right for every
student,

01:06:38.070 --> 01:06:42.510
other students are better served
in an alternate assessment

01:06:42.520 --> 01:06:43.060
setting.

01:06:43.350 --> 01:06:47.929
But um the inclusion programs
are really interesting and I

01:06:47.939 --> 01:06:49.300
appreciate what you said,

01:06:49.310 --> 01:06:52.649
Miss Bchar that sometimes
students start off in what we call

01:06:52.659 --> 01:06:57.159
self contained or small class,
maybe even alternate assessment,

01:06:57.169 --> 01:07:01.919
but they are um growing and
developing and showing that maybe

01:07:01.929 --> 01:07:03.949
they're ready for a mainstream
environment.

01:07:04.070 --> 01:07:08.439
And that's something that
happens in all of the district 75 high

01:07:08.449 --> 01:07:09.919
schools.

01:07:10.219 --> 01:07:14.479
And at the same time, we are um
continuously growing.

01:07:14.489 --> 01:07:18.530
Our opportunities for students
who are in the 611 population who

01:07:18.540 --> 01:07:23.570
need more vocational um training
and more continued training

01:07:23.580 --> 01:07:25.580
with activities of daily living.

01:07:25.889 --> 01:07:30.330
So there's a each school has a
very wide range of uh program

01:07:30.340 --> 01:07:32.340
offerings.

01:07:32.770 --> 01:07:35.030
Could I just jump in here for a
second?

01:07:35.040 --> 01:07:38.790
Um I wanted to introduce myself,
I'm Mr Inman.

01:07:39.010 --> 01:07:45.300
I am in a liaison for the
inclusion program and my email address

01:07:45.310 --> 01:07:51.949
is in the chat. Um It's B in M
two at schools.nyc.gov.

01:07:52.000 --> 01:07:54.439
If you wanna learn more about
the inclusion program,

01:07:54.449 --> 01:07:58.149
please just shoot me an email
and you can come visit our school.

01:07:58.159 --> 01:08:01.709
We'll give a tour, we'll tell
you the details about the program.

01:08:02.000 --> 01:08:06.429
Um And there are many inclusion
programs throughout district 75.

01:08:06.459 --> 01:08:09.620
Our program is a rigorous
college prep program,

01:08:09.629 --> 01:08:12.260
but there are other programs
which are more vocational.

01:08:12.489 --> 01:08:15.689
So we can also point you in the
right direction if our program

01:08:15.699 --> 01:08:18.309
is not the right inclusion
program for your student.

01:08:18.609 --> 01:08:22.609
So, but we look forward to
meeting you. Please shoot an email.

01:08:23.209 --> 01:08:27.079
Perfect. Thank you, Mister
Inman.

01:08:27.379 --> 01:08:31.140
Um We're gonna continue to move
forward.

01:08:31.149 --> 01:08:33.490
We're actually doing very well
with time.

01:08:33.500 --> 01:08:35.779
I did get in touch with 723.

01:08:35.790 --> 01:08:38.499
They're having technical
difficulties.

01:08:38.799 --> 01:08:40.729
Um I gave them the Zoom link.

01:08:40.740 --> 01:08:45.600
They're gonna try to come in at
two fif 1015. Um If they can't,

01:08:45.609 --> 01:08:48.799
I will uh give a brief
explanation of the programs that they

01:08:48.810 --> 01:08:49.680
offer.

01:08:49.850 --> 01:08:55.370
But in the meantime, um I think
176 is here and ready to go.

01:08:55.609 --> 01:09:00.879
Um Are you here? Ozzie Mister B?

01:09:02.479 --> 01:09:07.390
Yes, I am. I figured you were.
Thank you. Can you see me or no?

01:09:07.450 --> 01:09:09.459
I don't know if I do see you.

01:09:09.470 --> 01:09:13.470
I do see you and we see your
present. Thank you.

01:09:14.569 --> 01:09:18.220
So, my name is um Ozzie Bolanos,
Osvaldo Bolanos.

01:09:18.229 --> 01:09:19.540
I'm the transition, well,

01:09:19.549 --> 01:09:22.149
former transition coordinator at
PS 176.

01:09:22.419 --> 01:09:23.689
Um Now the unit teacher,

01:09:23.700 --> 01:09:27.169
Amy Castelluzzo is our
transition coordinator.

01:09:27.180 --> 01:09:29.970
Um She's not feeling well at
this point in time,

01:09:30.270 --> 01:09:35.439
but she is really um she's great
um taking programs in new

01:09:35.450 --> 01:09:36.029
directions.

01:09:36.169 --> 01:09:39.509
So we're gonna just do a general
overview in terms of, you know,

01:09:39.520 --> 01:09:42.700
what 176 offers for our
students.

01:09:43.000 --> 01:09:46.989
You can just let me know when
you need me to go ahead. Ok.

01:09:47.289 --> 01:09:49.549
Oh, all right. No problem. You
can go to the next slide. Yeah.

01:09:49.849 --> 01:09:53.649
Um It's just you could skip
that, just Amy put that in there.

01:09:53.949 --> 01:09:56.619
Um Basically, the goal is to
provide, you know, all,

01:09:56.628 --> 01:10:01.459
all the families with a,

01:10:02.250 --> 01:10:04.680
the goal is to provide an
overview of various programs offered

01:10:04.689 --> 01:10:05.529
at our school,

01:10:05.540 --> 01:10:10.759
um including academic and
extracurricular offerings to give um

01:10:10.770 --> 01:10:10.950
you know,

01:10:10.959 --> 01:10:13.350
families a comprehensive
understanding of the opportunities

01:10:13.359 --> 01:10:16.600
available to your young ones. Um
Additionally,

01:10:16.620 --> 01:10:19.774
to showcase the unique features
and benefits of each program,

01:10:19.984 --> 01:10:22.395
um We're gonna highlight
different ways in which we could help

01:10:22.404 --> 01:10:24.654
your young people um achieve
their goal,

01:10:24.665 --> 01:10:27.055
whether that is academic
success,

01:10:27.064 --> 01:10:30.634
um personal growth or career
readiness. Um Finally,

01:10:30.645 --> 01:10:35.009
we're gonna um just have some
information present you um in

01:10:35.020 --> 01:10:37.020
terms of the different programs
and what, you know,

01:10:37.029 --> 01:10:39.859
what our goals are for our young
people as they move forward.

01:10:39.970 --> 01:10:42.770
And then this way you could also
um you know,

01:10:42.779 --> 01:10:44.100
if you have any questions at the
end,

01:10:44.109 --> 01:10:47.089
we'll be happy to take them and
anything I can answer.

01:10:47.100 --> 01:10:51.100
I will definitely um you know,
refer you to Amy.

01:10:56.330 --> 01:11:00.330
All right. Yeah, you can go to
the next slide, please.

01:11:02.299 --> 01:11:05.260
You can go to the next slide.
Yeah.

01:11:05.560 --> 01:11:08.290
Oh you went forward. I did. All
right. There we go. OK.

01:11:08.299 --> 01:11:11.370
Sorry about that. Notice, I'm
doing it on my computer at home.

01:11:11.379 --> 01:11:13.319
That's why cause my zoom doesn't
work the right way.

01:11:13.509 --> 01:11:16.720
Um So basically, um we have
different sites,

01:11:16.729 --> 01:11:19.290
we have a middle school site and
also a high school site.

01:11:19.299 --> 01:11:24.270
Um Our middle school site is
located at PS 18 is 181 also in

01:11:24.279 --> 01:11:25.009
coop city.

01:11:25.020 --> 01:11:27.580
Um I should have stated that
from the beginning our school PS

01:11:27.589 --> 01:11:32.600
176 Truman High School and MS
181 are located in Truman High

01:11:32.609 --> 01:11:33.279
School.

01:11:33.290 --> 01:11:36.720
Um We have a couple of off site
programs um for our inclusion

01:11:36.729 --> 01:11:38.799
guys that I'll get to in a
couple of minutes,

01:11:39.029 --> 01:11:41.129
but basically at our middle
school,

01:11:41.140 --> 01:11:45.750
all of our students are in car
in the departmentalized

01:11:45.759 --> 01:11:47.599
departments.

01:11:47.899 --> 01:11:49.769
I'm sorry.

01:11:50.069 --> 01:11:54.810
My sister is a staff member of
188 and she is texting my my kids

01:11:54.819 --> 01:11:59.339
to jump on the zoom. So that's
why I have to block them out.

01:11:59.350 --> 01:12:03.350
I'm sorry, you can blame
Jennifer Balan, your uni coordinate.

01:12:03.779 --> 01:12:04.639
But anyway,

01:12:04.939 --> 01:12:10.509
um at 188 we have devi
departmentalized uh program for our

01:12:10.520 --> 01:12:13.959
students in regards to going to
different classes and getting

01:12:13.970 --> 01:12:15.589
teach, meeting to different
teachers.

01:12:15.600 --> 01:12:19.020
Excuse me um to get the typical
middle school experience.

01:12:19.029 --> 01:12:24.680
Um student switch for el A math
social studies and also stem um

01:12:24.729 --> 01:12:28.589
We also have inclusion programs

students who are at that level
to work towards their um you know,

self-contained classrooms.

01:12:43.669 --> 01:12:47.490

01:13:04.584 --> 01:13:05.615
breakfast during the day.

01:13:05.774 --> 01:13:09.375
And also a personalized station
where individuals can make

01:13:09.384 --> 01:13:13.294
bracelets um for holidays and
these type of special events um

01:13:13.305 --> 01:13:16.395
that our students sell to um
people within the school building

01:13:16.404 --> 01:13:17.654
and the community as well.

01:13:17.745 --> 01:13:21.539
Um We can go to the next slide,
please.

01:13:21.839 --> 01:13:27.750
And for um also we have our high
school standardized um classes

01:13:27.759 --> 01:13:30.000
which we've been working on the
last couple of years.

01:13:30.009 --> 01:13:33.459
Um We've recognized there is an
increased need for our students

01:13:33.589 --> 01:13:35.029
to, you know,

01:13:35.040 --> 01:13:39.200
work towards their general um
their local diplomas. You know,

01:13:39.209 --> 01:13:42.259
they're able to achieve regions
or if not able to catch up where

01:13:42.270 --> 01:13:43.549
they could work on the regions.

01:13:43.700 --> 01:13:47.959
They could also work on in terms
of meeting their GED and stuff

01:13:47.970 --> 01:13:48.259
like that,

01:13:48.270 --> 01:13:51.100
which still opens up career and
educational opportunities as

01:13:51.109 --> 01:13:54.620
well for those that aren't able
to go through the total program

01:13:54.629 --> 01:13:59.490
in order to earn their um
regions diplomas um with the high

01:13:59.500 --> 01:14:01.839
schools is also depart
departmentalized,

01:14:01.850 --> 01:14:05.990
excuse me for el A math um
social studies and Stems classes.

01:14:06.259 --> 01:14:09.830
Um We have inclusion programs
over at Evander um at the high

01:14:09.839 --> 01:14:12.979
school for uh high school for
computers and technology.

01:14:13.120 --> 01:14:16.299
We also have Bronx lab which
started working with us as well

01:14:16.310 --> 01:14:19.939
last year where our students are
able to go to a gen ed setting

01:14:19.950 --> 01:14:21.700
and work towards the region's
diploma.

01:14:21.870 --> 01:14:23.189
Um In the last number of years,

01:14:23.200 --> 01:14:25.609
we've actually seen uh a good
amount of,

01:14:25.620 --> 01:14:28.049
of the young people achieving
that goal and reaching their

01:14:28.060 --> 01:14:31.240
diploma and going on achieving
their region diploma and going on

01:14:31.250 --> 01:14:34.920
to college if they choose to. Um
We have five.

01:14:35.220 --> 01:14:38.600
we also have collaboration with
um pathways to graduation,

01:14:38.609 --> 01:14:43.109
which is a district 79 program
located on Davidson Avenue um

01:14:43.120 --> 01:14:45.999
where our students work on their
GE DS.

01:14:46.299 --> 01:14:49.620
Um We have five in order to get
students ready over at Truman

01:14:49.629 --> 01:14:53.019
High School, we have five pre um
P two G classes.

01:14:53.319 --> 01:14:57.299
Um That's where students get
prepared to go over to the Davidson

01:14:57.310 --> 01:15:01.399
uh program in order to work on,
you know, passing the GED exam.

01:15:01.790 --> 01:15:05.640
Um We have a large 10th grade
class right now and students are,

01:15:05.649 --> 01:15:05.890
you know,

01:15:05.899 --> 01:15:09.930
kind of recommended and screened
by their um teachers as they do

01:15:09.939 --> 01:15:11.509
assessments and they may say,

01:15:11.520 --> 01:15:14.370
you know what this guy or a
young woman is, you know,

01:15:14.379 --> 01:15:17.109
working at a good pace where
they may be able to achieve their,

01:15:17.120 --> 01:15:19.709
um, their GED. So that's
something, you know,

01:15:19.720 --> 01:15:22.500
that's discussed with families
going forward if that's the um

01:15:22.560 --> 01:15:24.619
the appropriate route for their
loved one.

01:15:24.919 --> 01:15:29.160
Um You can go to the next um
being that we're part of ad 75

01:15:29.169 --> 01:15:31.899
program, we also have work sites
within the community.

01:15:32.080 --> 01:15:35.020
Um Our students go out on a
daily basis,

01:15:35.029 --> 01:15:38.419
supervised by our staff to
various community partners.

01:15:38.640 --> 01:15:40.540
Um We're trying to do something
new.

01:15:40.580 --> 01:15:45.319
Our principal Alex uh Alexander
Guerrero wants a new um kind of

01:15:45.330 --> 01:15:49.080
work site program where we hit
on different goals and areas for

01:15:49.089 --> 01:15:54.720
families as students move up the
the doe chain with age wise,

01:15:55.020 --> 01:15:57.620
um The first part would be a
vocational cluster.

01:15:57.910 --> 01:16:00.330
Um when students first get to
the high school level or even at

01:16:00.339 --> 01:16:02.859
the middle school level, um they
could begin working on these,

01:16:02.870 --> 01:16:04.200
these skills. The tier one,

01:16:04.209 --> 01:16:07.180
the vocational cluster includes
student practice and vocational

01:16:07.189 --> 01:16:10.359
skills in the CTE which all D 75
students do,

01:16:10.370 --> 01:16:14.090
which is the career technical
education um cluster classes.

01:16:14.390 --> 01:16:16.990
There is an apartment in Truman
high school.

01:16:17.290 --> 01:16:19.680
Um One of the classroom we
converted into an apartment where

01:16:19.689 --> 01:16:23.419
students are taught life skills
such as making beds how to clean

01:16:23.430 --> 01:16:27.959
up. Um You know how to use a, a
vacuum, how to use a mop broom,

01:16:28.169 --> 01:16:30.149
um how to fold clothes, put
clothes away.

01:16:30.160 --> 01:16:31.359
We have a washing machine too.

01:16:31.370 --> 01:16:35.379
Students are able to access um
to try to work on those skills.

01:16:35.419 --> 01:16:39.839
Um Students are also engaged in
stem and sustainability is a big

01:16:39.850 --> 01:16:42.160
project at our school these days
by one of our teachers.

01:16:42.169 --> 01:16:43.279
Um Liz Govea,

01:16:43.290 --> 01:16:46.600
it's a city driven initiative
where they do a lot of recycling

01:16:46.609 --> 01:16:49.759
work. Um You know, in
coordinating with the city and district.

01:16:50.049 --> 01:16:53.709
Um Tier two, our students move
on to in-house work sites.

01:16:53.720 --> 01:16:55.319
Students are students,

01:16:55.330 --> 01:16:57.470
we are trying to identify for
that as students 16 years and

01:16:57.479 --> 01:17:01.509
older. Of course, they're
getting their CTE um education.

01:17:02.000 --> 01:17:05.029
Um they're engaging in
vocational skills the entire day while

01:17:05.040 --> 01:17:09.149
still f following their school
based um worksite classes.

01:17:09.160 --> 01:17:12.149
So students also switch for
whatever, you know,

01:17:12.160 --> 01:17:13.910
work environment they're going
into.

01:17:14.149 --> 01:17:18.529
Um examples of work sites within
our school building are the

01:17:18.540 --> 01:17:24.339
cafe and coffee shop which um
cooks breakfast and lunch every

01:17:24.350 --> 01:17:27.009
day for staff members um
throughout the building and our

01:17:27.020 --> 01:17:27.810
students actually,

01:17:27.819 --> 01:17:30.689
we have a couple that deliver
the meals independently throughout

01:17:30.700 --> 01:17:32.810
the building as well. So it's a
nice experience for them.

01:17:32.879 --> 01:17:35.459
They get a little taste of
freedom within Truman High School.

01:17:35.580 --> 01:17:39.890
Um We have a stock room for
deliveries where teachers put in

01:17:39.899 --> 01:17:41.209
requests for items,

01:17:41.220 --> 01:17:44.339
they fill out a form students
delivered the items to those

01:17:44.350 --> 01:17:46.899
teachers and they need to, um,
you know,

01:17:46.910 --> 01:17:48.560
have the teachers sign off on
delivery slips,

01:17:48.569 --> 01:17:50.029
file them and everything else.

01:17:50.069 --> 01:17:52.399
Um We have a school store which
is a big seller.

01:17:52.600 --> 01:17:54.779
Um We sell a variety of snacks
and drinks.

01:17:54.790 --> 01:17:57.709
It's open to the gen Ed's
population as well as, you know,

01:17:57.720 --> 01:18:00.500
our d 75 students and it's a big
seller.

01:18:00.509 --> 01:18:01.729
Always big lines in there.

01:18:01.979 --> 01:18:05.729
Um We have graphic design which
produces a variety of items from

01:18:05.740 --> 01:18:09.899
cups to t-shirts to sweatshirts.
Um for different occasions,

01:18:09.959 --> 01:18:13.240
they just did a whole bunch of
um cups um for sale and

01:18:13.250 --> 01:18:15.589
sweatshirts for Black History
Month that came out very nicely.

01:18:15.839 --> 01:18:18.279
Uh Sustainability is still part
of that in-house work.

01:18:18.290 --> 01:18:19.549
That of course, again,

01:18:19.649 --> 01:18:21.600
that revolves around the world
of recycling.

01:18:21.870 --> 01:18:24.899
Um for tier three, we have the
part-time community sites.

01:18:25.129 --> 01:18:29.140
Um students go out to work at
the age of 17, again, supervised,

01:18:29.149 --> 01:18:32.910
they start and end their day at
school, but as part of the day,

01:18:32.919 --> 01:18:35.950
they go out to work sites
typically from about 10 to 1230.

01:18:35.979 --> 01:18:37.990
So this way they get that
exposure in the community,

01:18:38.000 --> 01:18:43.149
they get that experience um
different examples of sites we have

01:18:43.160 --> 01:18:44.060
at this point in time,

01:18:44.069 --> 01:18:48.620
students uh engage in retail um
work uh maintenance uh

01:18:48.629 --> 01:18:50.479
activities and also clerical.

01:18:50.600 --> 01:18:53.600
Um We currently work with a
number of restaurants on City Island.

01:18:53.609 --> 01:18:54.819
We work with um Rain,

01:18:54.830 --> 01:18:57.579
which is a senior organization
throughout the Bronx.

01:18:57.879 --> 01:19:03.529
Um Next on to tier four, our
students,

01:19:03.540 --> 01:19:07.009
our goal is to get students into
full time work sites starting

01:19:07.020 --> 01:19:10.290
next year where students will
basically be out in the community

01:19:10.299 --> 01:19:10.810
all day.

01:19:11.089 --> 01:19:15.839
Um Students will be 17.5 years
of age or older and travel

01:19:15.850 --> 01:19:16.129
trained.

01:19:16.140 --> 01:19:20.089
So our goal is for students to
start and end their day at a work

01:19:20.100 --> 01:19:23.080
site. Um And our goal is like
many other schools do.

01:19:23.089 --> 01:19:25.930
Ad 75 is for our students to
travel there independently.

01:19:26.140 --> 01:19:27.750
So our students will be travel
trained.

01:19:28.020 --> 01:19:31.259
Um There would be assigned a
work site, let's say, for example,

01:19:31.270 --> 01:19:32.709
um rain on Boston road.

01:19:33.009 --> 01:19:37.060
Um your loved one would be told
you're gonna be working at rain.

01:19:37.080 --> 01:19:39.979
So your loved one would travel
directly to rain in the morning,

01:19:40.089 --> 01:19:43.169
spend the whole day there um
engaged in work activities,

01:19:43.180 --> 01:19:45.830
any other academic activities
that we would have a teacher on

01:19:45.839 --> 01:19:46.750
site to meet them.

01:19:47.009 --> 01:19:50.919
Um And on the way back home, the
student would be released,

01:19:50.930 --> 01:19:53.680
um dismissed like any other
travel trained student and they

01:19:53.689 --> 01:19:57.309
would return home, they would
never step foot in 176.

01:19:57.609 --> 01:20:00.509
Um It's basically just like kind
of like a world war set real

01:20:00.540 --> 01:20:01.669
world setting, excuse me,

01:20:01.680 --> 01:20:04.689
where an individual goes
directly to work in the morning and

01:20:04.700 --> 01:20:06.189
goes directly home in the
afternoon,

01:20:06.350 --> 01:20:08.970
which is our goal for all of our
students to one day be employed.

01:20:08.979 --> 01:20:10.149
So it gives them a good taste.

01:20:10.160 --> 01:20:12.670
And experience as to what that
feels like.

01:20:12.970 --> 01:20:15.930
And then at 17.5 years or older,

01:20:15.970 --> 01:20:18.819
that's when we hope for our
students to be travel trained.

01:20:18.830 --> 01:20:21.709
So they can be able to navigate
um New York City in more

01:20:21.720 --> 01:20:22.620
independent fashion,

01:20:22.649 --> 01:20:26.020
which makes a big difference in
types of opportunities that open

01:20:26.029 --> 01:20:30.970
up to individuals in the future,
in terms of work um situations,

01:20:30.979 --> 01:20:34.529
things like that. Um We've
recently started not recently,

01:20:34.540 --> 01:20:37.109
but we've increased our
collaboration with Co Op Tech.

01:20:37.120 --> 01:20:39.560
We have a number of students who
attend um programs at Co Op

01:20:39.609 --> 01:20:42.470
Tech as well where they're
getting trained in medical billing,

01:20:42.629 --> 01:20:46.410
um culinary arts, maintenance
type activities, hair, hair,

01:20:46.419 --> 01:20:48.310
um hair care, things like that.

01:20:48.500 --> 01:20:52.939
Um based on their interest to
hopefully give them training where

01:20:52.950 --> 01:20:56.259
they could uh use Lilly skills
once they do age out,

01:20:56.270 --> 01:20:59.069
graduate from T 75 in terms of
working.

01:20:59.339 --> 01:21:03.709
Um Our school also has a number
of um opportunities for families.

01:21:03.759 --> 01:21:05.399
We have monthly parent
engagement.

01:21:05.410 --> 01:21:08.310
Actually, tomorrow is a big uh
combo Mardi Gras,

01:21:08.439 --> 01:21:10.130
um Valentine's Day party.

01:21:10.430 --> 01:21:12.910
Um We have monthly meetings for
families,

01:21:12.919 --> 01:21:14.160
uh parent support groups.

01:21:14.180 --> 01:21:17.430
We have a father's club that
meets on a ma uh monthly basis.

01:21:17.439 --> 01:21:20.770
So um other dads could get
together um to discuss, you know,

01:21:20.779 --> 01:21:22.759
what's going on in their lives
and provide each other with some

01:21:22.770 --> 01:21:26.939
support. Um Our school works
with um OPW DD,

01:21:26.950 --> 01:21:29.490
that's the office for people
with developmental disabilities in

01:21:29.500 --> 01:21:33.009
order to get our families
connected to their services such as

01:21:33.020 --> 01:21:36.430
care managers because that is
gonna be the route for some of our,

01:21:36.439 --> 01:21:39.089
of our students that need that
support in terms of going into

01:21:39.100 --> 01:21:40.970
OPW DD Day program.

01:21:41.270 --> 01:21:47.500
Um We also collaborate with a HR
CV R in terms of trying to find

01:21:47.509 --> 01:21:49.640
our students who are ready for
employment,

01:21:49.790 --> 01:21:53.779
to get them to connect in two
situations where they can begin to

01:21:53.790 --> 01:21:57.549
work once they, um leave school
if that is their goal. Um,

01:21:57.560 --> 01:22:01.450
we also offer different
recreational activities for our students.

01:22:01.750 --> 01:22:04.189
Um, we have a basketball team.

01:22:04.370 --> 01:22:08.509
Um, our students uh also engage
in um, band,

01:22:08.520 --> 01:22:10.490
uh practices with our music
teacher.

01:22:10.649 --> 01:22:13.359
They have dance class with our
dance instructor as well.

01:22:13.370 --> 01:22:16.299
So there's different
opportunities besides just, um, you know,

01:22:16.310 --> 01:22:18.220
academic and work, there's also,
you know,

01:22:18.229 --> 01:22:20.940
recreational things where
students can interact with each other

01:22:21.240 --> 01:22:24.939
and excuse me in more relaxed
basis and, you know,

01:22:24.950 --> 01:22:26.049
develop those skills as well,

01:22:26.060 --> 01:22:29.519
which are also important for the
future.

01:22:29.819 --> 01:22:31.759
Does anybody have any questions
or?

01:22:31.819 --> 01:22:39.649
That's pretty much it, it looks
amazing.

01:22:39.660 --> 01:22:44.430
I, I think we all just based on
the chat are loving the tears.

01:22:45.109 --> 01:22:47.999
Um, yeah, that's something, um,
Alex and Denise Goma,

01:22:48.299 --> 01:22:51.089
our assistant principal who's
kind of taken over the, um,

01:22:51.250 --> 01:22:54.399
the work site and, um,

01:22:54.810 --> 01:22:57.709
the work site situation in our
program and the transition age

01:22:57.720 --> 01:22:59.560
guys, that's really been a big
focus.

01:22:59.569 --> 01:23:01.560
Alex is really and uh, and
Denise as well,

01:23:01.569 --> 01:23:05.640
are really focusing on each year
or each couple of years having

01:23:05.649 --> 01:23:10.049
different um, categories and
milestones we want students to hit.

01:23:10.060 --> 01:23:11.870
So this way they're prepared for
the next steps,

01:23:12.069 --> 01:23:13.249
them and their families.

01:23:13.549 --> 01:23:17.689
It's a very good sequence and
then everybody can sort of

01:23:17.700 --> 01:23:21.709
understand what the goals are.
Yeah, that they, we're trying to,

01:23:22.100 --> 01:23:24.929
trying to kind of simplify
things to,

01:23:25.229 --> 01:23:27.359
to not overwhelm our families
because we, you know,

01:23:27.370 --> 01:23:29.390
we've had discussions with our
families and sometimes they, oh,

01:23:29.399 --> 01:23:32.200
also we offer help with a lot of
things that are important for D

01:23:32.209 --> 01:23:33.330
75 families as well.

01:23:33.339 --> 01:23:35.759
Guardianship, things like that
because you know,

01:23:35.770 --> 01:23:38.589
that's another important thing
and those are things we're trying

01:23:38.600 --> 01:23:41.575
to kind of come come part mental
for families.

01:23:41.584 --> 01:23:42.854
So that's why they don't feel
overwhelmed.

01:23:42.865 --> 01:23:45.265
So, you know, each year kind of
focus on these things.

01:23:45.274 --> 01:23:47.225
So this way, once you're, you
know,

01:23:47.234 --> 01:23:50.185
your loved ones hitting 21 now,
22 you don't feel like,

01:23:50.194 --> 01:23:52.504
oh my God, I got to do a million
things.

01:23:52.515 --> 01:23:55.825
And honestly, if you start uh
any parents on the phone,

01:23:56.125 --> 01:23:58.064
uh on the Zoom, the earlier you
start,

01:23:58.075 --> 01:24:01.109
the better off you are join OPW
DD.

01:24:01.120 --> 01:24:03.890
Get that eligibility as soon as
you can start getting into those

01:24:03.899 --> 01:24:06.129
services. Doesn't make sense to
wait until your, you know,

01:24:06.140 --> 01:24:08.400
your loved ones. 1920 years old,
you just,

01:24:08.700 --> 01:24:10.859
it's a time wasted where you
could have been getting the

01:24:10.870 --> 01:24:12.800
benefits of a lot of services.

01:24:13.100 --> 01:24:16.870
Front door services are state,
um,

01:24:16.879 --> 01:24:23.009
run services for people with
developmental disabilities and all

01:24:23.020 --> 01:24:28.350
district 75 students are
basically tend to be eligible and you

01:24:28.359 --> 01:24:29.450
can access those services.

01:24:29.459 --> 01:24:31.529
As soon as your loved one, Le
leaves CPSC,

01:24:31.540 --> 01:24:33.520
you don't have to wait till they
reach middle school or high

01:24:33.529 --> 01:24:33.990
school.

01:24:34.000 --> 01:24:36.439
You could start that out at five
years old and there's a lot of

01:24:36.450 --> 01:24:39.870
support between weekend
programs, weekends programs,

01:24:39.879 --> 01:24:40.689
summer programs.

01:24:40.700 --> 01:24:42.589
There's a lot of stuff out there
for families more than they

01:24:42.600 --> 01:24:46.600
realize. And these are lifelong
supports and services.

01:24:47.479 --> 01:24:50.229
Yes, once somebody is eligible
for OPW DD,

01:24:50.399 --> 01:24:53.390
I believe they have to get
recertified at 22. Possibly.

01:24:53.470 --> 01:24:55.529
But like, you know, Miss
Sullivan said, that's,

01:24:55.540 --> 01:24:58.520
that's a service they have for
life that can help assist with um

01:24:58.529 --> 01:25:01.700
residential placement, any type
of independent living.

01:25:01.879 --> 01:25:03.979
Um You know, there, there's
summer camps,

01:25:03.990 --> 01:25:06.305
there's weekend programs after
school programs,

01:25:06.424 --> 01:25:09.325
there's in-house respite um
community habilitation.

01:25:09.524 --> 01:25:11.645
There's more services out there
than families realize.

01:25:11.654 --> 01:25:14.604
And a lot of stuff that can OPW
DD is not there just to serve

01:25:14.615 --> 01:25:15.424
your loved one.

01:25:15.435 --> 01:25:17.685
It's all to provide the family
support as well and give you a

01:25:17.694 --> 01:25:19.294
little ability to take,

01:25:19.305 --> 01:25:22.010
take a deep breath at times
which we all need as families.

01:25:22.310 --> 01:25:23.400
So true.

01:25:23.700 --> 01:25:28.140
Just having a case worker who is
knowledgeable about what's

01:25:28.810 --> 01:25:32.509
available for people with
disabilities is helpful when you find

01:25:32.520 --> 01:25:33.839
the right care manager.

01:25:33.850 --> 01:25:36.229
If it's somebody who's really
into their work and, you know,

01:25:36.240 --> 01:25:40.240
really focused on families.
It's, it's priceless honestly.

01:25:41.740 --> 01:25:45.950
And I think it just the tears
show how many years students in

01:25:45.990 --> 01:25:48.660
high school transition begins.

01:25:48.669 --> 01:25:51.750
As soon as you walk in the door
at five years old,

01:25:51.839 --> 01:25:54.049
transition begins as soon as you
walk in the door at five years

01:25:54.060 --> 01:25:55.029
old. Honestly, every,

01:25:55.040 --> 01:25:58.529
every everybody should be hooked
up with OPW DD services as soon

01:25:58.540 --> 01:26:01.609
as they can. It just doesn't
make sense not to sounds good.

01:26:01.620 --> 01:26:03.790
Wonderful. I love it.

01:26:04.569 --> 01:26:11.419
Any questions for 176 which as
Ozzie said is by Co Op City

01:26:11.430 --> 01:26:14.430
pretty far north in the Bronx.
We're right by Bay Plaza Mall.

01:26:14.439 --> 01:26:15.950
We're right there where, uh, you
know,

01:26:15.959 --> 01:26:17.990
after us it's New Rochelle.
That's it.

01:26:18.290 --> 01:26:20.859
Once you leave us, you hit, you
know, Westchester County,

01:26:21.140 --> 01:26:24.919
we're the end of the Bronx on
the east side and we have students

01:26:25.009 --> 01:26:28.080
from all. We have students from
Manhattan.

01:26:28.100 --> 01:26:30.120
We used to have one guy that
used to come from Brooklyn until he

01:26:30.129 --> 01:26:32.370
got too tired. But we have
students come from all.

01:26:32.379 --> 01:26:35.270
I've been there 25 you know, 20
plus years since the school.

01:26:35.279 --> 01:26:37.009
It's not that, that I've worked
there.

01:26:37.020 --> 01:26:37.819
It's, it's a good program.

01:26:37.830 --> 01:26:40.180
There's a lot of nice offerings
for our students and families.

01:26:40.189 --> 01:26:42.250
Definitely a lot of, a lot of
support for families,

01:26:42.259 --> 01:26:43.390
a lot of parental engagement.

01:26:43.399 --> 01:26:46.959
All right, administration is
huge on that. Awesome.

01:26:47.040 --> 01:26:48.970
Well, thank you so much. Um,

01:26:48.979 --> 01:27:00.029
do we have any questions you can
unmute and go ahead and ask a

01:27:00.040 --> 01:27:02.609
lot to take in. Doctor Sullivan.

01:27:02.620 --> 01:27:05.669
I think um Joscelyn Acevedo
again,

01:27:05.680 --> 01:27:09.560
asked the question that who can
help me with that.

01:27:09.569 --> 01:27:12.490
I guess she's asking about OPW
DD services.

01:27:12.500 --> 01:27:14.620
Um I was, I did text in the
chat.

01:27:14.629 --> 01:27:17.580
I just asked her, what school
did her child go to?

01:27:17.589 --> 01:27:19.990
So that if she goes to our site,
she can,

01:27:20.000 --> 01:27:24.500
she can ask the counselor to
direct her, um, to, to get it,

01:27:24.509 --> 01:27:24.779
you know,

01:27:24.790 --> 01:27:27.419
because everybody is coming from
all these different schools and

01:27:27.549 --> 01:27:31.479
whatever your, um, whatever
school your child go to, just, uh,

01:27:31.490 --> 01:27:35.049
talk to the counselor and, and
he or she can direct you. Ok.

01:27:35.270 --> 01:27:42.350
Uh Miss Acevedo parent
coordinators are another good resource

01:27:42.359 --> 01:27:44.359
for starting with.

01:27:46.040 --> 01:27:50.209
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, what did
you say?

01:27:50.399 --> 01:27:55.750
You heard? It goes to PS 20 at
150.

01:27:57.029 --> 01:28:00.140
What? You should, I'm sorry,
I'm,

01:28:00.149 --> 01:28:03.500
I'm saying that because nobody
in that school having told me

01:28:03.509 --> 01:28:05.330
about everything that you say.

01:28:05.379 --> 01:28:08.339
This is the first time I'm
listening to you should reach out to

01:28:08.350 --> 01:28:09.490
the parent coordinator there.

01:28:09.779 --> 01:28:13.089
Um, the school should have a
transition coordinator as well.

01:28:13.250 --> 01:28:15.330
Um, but you could reach out to
them and ask,

01:28:15.439 --> 01:28:17.950
but if you want just general
information right now, um,

01:28:17.959 --> 01:28:19.750
I'll give you a phone number.
You can reach out to it too.

01:28:19.759 --> 01:28:21.759
It's OPW DD front door.

01:28:22.569 --> 01:28:26.979
Uh, uh, no, we could actually
put it in the chat.

01:28:27.029 --> 01:28:33.279
Ok. OPW DD. If somebody could
you write OPW DD?

01:28:33.899 --> 01:28:37.209
And then that sounds for office
of person with developmental

01:28:37.220 --> 01:28:39.779
disabilities, people with it.

01:28:40.229 --> 01:28:44.129
And then what you're gonna write
is the front door. Exactly.

01:28:44.140 --> 01:28:44.660
And you would have,

01:28:44.669 --> 01:28:47.459
this is one of the first steps
you would have to do because this

01:28:47.470 --> 01:28:51.299
is required for, um, for part of
the eligibility process.

01:28:51.310 --> 01:28:54.399
It's like an orientation session
where OPW D will present to you,

01:28:54.450 --> 01:28:57.000
their different programs or
supports, they offer families,

01:28:57.209 --> 01:28:58.520
but it's, it's mandatory.

01:28:58.810 --> 01:29:01.810
So, and it's, I believe they're
still running virtually too.

01:29:01.819 --> 01:29:02.979
So it's, it's nice right now.

01:29:02.990 --> 01:29:05.950
I would register as soon as you
can cause virtual is much easier

01:29:05.959 --> 01:29:07.290
than having to go out for an
appointment.

01:29:07.479 --> 01:29:13.649
Um, but their number is 718
4300757.

01:29:18.339 --> 01:29:20.749
Ozzie. Can you repeat that
because I'm typing it, please?

01:29:21.049 --> 01:29:26.379
It's 718430430.

01:29:26.390 --> 01:29:31.140
Ok. 07570757.

01:29:31.149 --> 01:29:32.330
Thank you. Yeah.

01:29:32.339 --> 01:29:35.089
And that number for front door
in the, you know, in the Bronx.

01:29:35.180 --> 01:29:37.100
All right, I'll put that in
there. Front door.

01:29:37.109 --> 01:29:39.109
Yes, in the Bronx.

01:29:39.970 --> 01:29:41.970
Thank you.

01:29:43.209 --> 01:29:46.779
Um And we're probably gonna have
some trainings on this coming

01:29:46.790 --> 01:29:48.279
up. Laura Combs and I,

01:29:48.290 --> 01:29:51.540
the parent coordinator and the
counselors are going to be um

01:29:51.649 --> 01:29:52.990
putting some things together.

01:29:53.000 --> 01:29:58.390
So there's gonna be more
opportunities. Um, let me say this.

01:29:58.419 --> 01:30:02.580
Um I think we're gonna move on
to P 12. It's time for P 12.

01:30:02.589 --> 01:30:05.870
Now, I just want to see if
Doctor Wilson was able to make it in.

01:30:05.879 --> 01:30:07.299
Are you out there? Doctor
Wilson?

01:30:07.310 --> 01:30:10.689
I don't think I see that you've
been able to make it in.

01:30:10.700 --> 01:30:13.620
So it looks like 723 is not
gonna make it today.

01:30:13.709 --> 01:30:15.580
723 is a beautiful school.

01:30:15.589 --> 01:30:18.160
It's very near where our middle
school is.

01:30:18.319 --> 01:30:23.240
Um They are phenomenal
educators. They have a 611 program there,

01:30:23.250 --> 01:30:27.569
an 811 program and a beautiful
inclusion program that is

01:30:27.580 --> 01:30:32.569
nurturing and even um they even
sometimes have students who are

01:30:32.580 --> 01:30:35.149
alternate assessment in that
inclusion program.

01:30:35.439 --> 01:30:39.560
So if they are able to join us
between now and the end of the

01:30:39.569 --> 01:30:44.180
fair, they will address um the
group and if not,

01:30:44.189 --> 01:30:46.729
we'll figure out another way to
get that information to

01:30:46.740 --> 01:30:50.560
everybody. Ok? But in the
meantime,

01:30:50.569 --> 01:30:56.250
um we're gonna stay on schedule
and we're gonna hear from P 12,

01:30:57.990 --> 01:31:02.129
another big school with a lot to
offer. Good morning.

01:31:03.660 --> 01:31:07.770
Hi. Do you have a presentation?
Oh, perfect.

01:31:13.779 --> 01:31:18.640
All right. So welcome to P 12 X
Lewis and Clark School.

01:31:19.000 --> 01:31:23.930
Um We have recently become a
partner with a HR C A community

01:31:23.939 --> 01:31:28.720

located in our building at the main

01:31:28.729 --> 01:31:32.729
site on a daily basis. Um Next

01:31:33.529 --> 01:31:36.609
our mission is to prepare our
students for independent living

01:31:36.620 --> 01:31:38.029
and thinking in a safe,

01:31:38.040 --> 01:31:41.720
respectful and therapeutic
environment that promotes social and

01:31:41.729 --> 01:31:45.729
academic development. Next
slide, please.

01:31:46.060 --> 01:31:50.629
So, um our, our principal is

And we also have our parent
coordinator who is M BC.

01:32:08.229 --> 01:32:10.729
Our school offers a
collaborative working and learning

01:44:18.850 --> 01:44:21.229
And uh this is just a glance.

01:44:21.240 --> 01:44:23.870
Um we had some technical
difficulties,

01:44:23.890 --> 01:44:28.370
so we weren't able to put all
the slides that uh just showing a

01:44:28.379 --> 01:44:32.709
student in action, but these are
some of the slides that we had.

01:44:39.259 --> 01:44:39.750
Ok.

01:44:39.759 --> 01:44:44.069
Um Thank you for listening and
uh you're welcome to come to our

01:44:44.080 --> 01:44:48.319
P 12 Lucent Clark School and to
visit us at any time.

01:44:48.330 --> 01:44:50.330
Thank you so much.

01:44:55.649 --> 01:44:57.620
Thank you, Miss Walters.

01:44:57.629 --> 01:45:02.660
That was so informative, so many
different program offerings.

01:45:03.160 --> 01:45:04.830
Um It's amazing.

01:45:04.839 --> 01:45:08.640
P 12 is another uh program we
visited and we loved it.

01:45:08.649 --> 01:45:10.080
We attended your open house.

01:45:10.089 --> 01:45:14.089
So I know you often have open
houses that parents can attend.

01:45:14.450 --> 01:45:17.799
Um We'll make sure to get the
dates and let our parents know

01:45:17.810 --> 01:45:21.810
when those are happening. Thank
you so much.

01:45:22.180 --> 01:45:26.870
Um And again, Walters, you're
welcome.

01:45:27.330 --> 01:45:31.490
Take care. Thank you so much,
much. That was very informative.

01:45:33.549 --> 01:45:37.470
Again, a beautiful balance of
in-house vocational training,

01:45:37.479 --> 01:45:39.080
uh community work sites,

01:45:39.089 --> 01:45:45.009
extracurricular activities and
um the uh programs for,

01:45:45.020 --> 01:45:48.529
for students who need more
activities of daily living um

01:45:48.540 --> 01:45:51.760
supported workshop. So it's
beautiful.

01:45:52.060 --> 01:45:58.069
Um I think we're ready for Hazel
Rios. Are you here, Hazel?

01:45:58.939 --> 01:46:02.270
I think you've been here all.
Oh, there she is wonderful.

01:46:02.490 --> 01:46:07.319
Ok, good morning, everyone. We
want to introduce you, Miss Rios.

01:46:07.330 --> 01:46:09.549
I think maybe Miss Johnson.

01:46:09.560 --> 01:46:11.959
Do you want to make a little
introduction?

01:46:12.149 --> 01:46:14.760
We're so happy to have Miss Rios
here.

01:46:15.060 --> 01:46:17.890
Thank you so much for being
here, Hazel.

01:46:17.979 --> 01:46:22.720
Um It is my pleasure to
introduce none other than our Bronx

01:46:23.192 --> 01:46:26.402
officer for district 75 Miss
Hazel Rio.

01:46:26.473 --> 01:46:30.272
She's here to give us some
information on articulation and help

01:46:30.283 --> 01:46:33.172
us to understand what the
process is like for our students that

01:46:33.183 --> 01:46:36.103
are transitioning to high school
in district 75.

01:46:36.112 --> 01:46:39.592
We've worked with Hazel for
years and she is a wealth of

01:46:39.603 --> 01:46:40.172
knowledge.

01:46:40.183 --> 01:46:44.422
She is a pleasure to work with
and she really is here um to do

01:46:44.433 --> 01:46:47.965
the business of placement on
behalf of the 75.

01:46:48.085 --> 01:46:50.976
And although she's currently
working in central office,

01:46:50.985 --> 01:46:51.826
we still miss her.

01:46:51.835 --> 01:46:54.895
We still have relationship with
her and we thank you so much for

01:46:54.905 --> 01:46:58.025
taking time out of your busy
schedule to be with us here on

01:46:58.036 --> 01:47:00.306
today. So without further ado,

01:47:00.315 --> 01:47:02.866
I am gonna allow Hazel to do
what she does.

01:47:02.875 --> 01:47:05.405
Bless explain the articulation
process.

01:47:05.416 --> 01:47:07.585
So thank you so much, Hazel for
being here.

01:47:07.596 --> 01:47:11.596
We appreciate you and um I'm
gonna mute up.

01:47:13.770 --> 01:47:16.549
OK. Thank you, Shay. Thank you
so much.

01:47:16.560 --> 01:47:19.529
And you know, I love working
with district 75 schools.

01:47:19.540 --> 01:47:23.029
We've been uh I think this is
going to be our eighth year

01:47:23.040 --> 01:47:26.229
together. Um I am very happy,
you know,

01:47:26.240 --> 01:47:30.879
of course to first time to
attend a virtual high school fair.

01:47:31.000 --> 01:47:32.779
Um Definitely,

01:47:32.790 --> 01:47:37.580
I will re-watch the recording
because I am so excited to find

01:47:37.589 --> 01:47:41.879
out more about the programs that
our high school district 75

01:47:41.890 --> 01:47:43.790
sites have to offer.

01:47:43.799 --> 01:47:49.939
Um So I am going to start
sharing my screen so that I can share

01:47:49.950 --> 01:47:56.979
with you. Um Basically what is
um district 75 articulation?

01:47:56.990 --> 01:48:02.500
OK. So district 75 articulation
um hold on.

01:48:03.270 --> 01:48:09.049
OK, so we're gonna see what is
articulation and then what is the

01:48:09.060 --> 01:48:10.830
sample of articulation letter?

01:48:10.839 --> 01:48:14.490
And most importantly, you know,
for specific questions,

01:48:14.740 --> 01:48:15.890
um you know,

01:48:15.899 --> 01:48:20.089
we will give out our the best
way to contact our office.

01:48:21.189 --> 01:48:25.120
OK. So for the IEP
classification,

01:48:25.129 --> 01:48:30.169
so that um there are two types
of IEP classification.

01:48:30.299 --> 01:48:33.500
One is for alternate assessment
students.

01:48:33.790 --> 01:48:40.169
So most of our students in
district 75 are um alternate assessed.

01:48:40.279 --> 01:48:44.569
So that means that they are not
um using grade level standards

01:48:44.930 --> 01:48:47.669
and they are assessed using a
portfolio.

01:48:47.700 --> 01:48:53.390
So majority of our students um
do not undergo state testing or

01:48:53.399 --> 01:48:56.209
earn credits towards a high
school diploma.

01:48:56.439 --> 01:49:00.240
However, you know, we have a lot
of work training programs,

01:49:00.250 --> 01:49:04.720
vocational programs that are for
our students transitioning to

01:49:04.729 --> 01:49:05.590
high school.

01:49:05.890 --> 01:49:09.779
The other type of classification
is our standardized assessment

01:49:09.790 --> 01:49:10.279
students.

01:49:10.290 --> 01:49:14.430
So we do have programs for
students who are standardized.

01:49:14.439 --> 01:49:17.119
Um They do undergo the state
test,

01:49:17.419 --> 01:49:21.040
they can earn credits um towards
a high school,

01:49:21.049 --> 01:49:24.339
earning a high school diploma
and they can also take the regions

01:49:24.350 --> 01:49:26.220
exams. So, you know,

01:49:26.229 --> 01:49:30.540
we definitely take pride in both
uh programs in district 75.

01:49:32.109 --> 01:49:35.770
So a lot of um families as well
as schools, you know,

01:49:35.779 --> 01:49:38.619
they ask about what is basically
articulation.

01:49:38.919 --> 01:49:44.290
So simply it means that the
student is moving up to their next

01:49:44.299 --> 01:49:48.470
grade level. So for the school
year, you know, from fifth grade,

01:49:48.479 --> 01:49:50.490
they're transitioning to middle
school,

01:49:50.500 --> 01:49:53.479
sixth grade and then from eighth
grade,

01:49:53.629 --> 01:49:55.430
moving up to ninth grade.

01:49:55.439 --> 01:49:58.720
So I know a lot of families are
excited and at the same time,

01:49:58.879 --> 01:50:02.990
they are kind of um anxious
about the whole process.

01:50:03.000 --> 01:50:03.470
But, you know,

01:50:03.479 --> 01:50:07.149
we are here as well as all the
other schools in district 75.

01:50:07.160 --> 01:50:08.419
We are very happy,

01:50:08.479 --> 01:50:11.750
more than happy to provide you
more information to guide you

01:50:11.759 --> 01:50:13.010
with this process.

01:50:13.310 --> 01:50:17.669
So for articulation is that, you
know, we receive,

01:50:17.680 --> 01:50:20.100
I'm sure yesterday, a lot of the
schools,

01:50:20.109 --> 01:50:24.160
a lot of principals have
received already the articulation file.

01:50:24.169 --> 01:50:29.950
So that articulation list will
contain all the students on all

01:50:29.959 --> 01:50:34.990
district 75 schools in each
organization. And in that list,

01:50:35.000 --> 01:50:39.129
we will um identify the students
who will articulate to the next

01:50:39.140 --> 01:50:43.720
grade level. So are, you know,
in partnership with our schools,

01:50:43.729 --> 01:50:48.459
schools will fill out that form
and then when it gets submitted

01:50:48.470 --> 01:50:50.509
back to us or returned to us,

01:50:50.520 --> 01:50:55.490
then we will identify a school
that the student will articulate

01:50:55.500 --> 01:50:57.950
to. So, um you know,

01:50:57.959 --> 01:51:03.270
we are aiming that by um end of
April or early May that we will

01:51:03.279 --> 01:51:08.470
be able to send out the
articulation letters um through schools

01:51:08.819 --> 01:51:12.600
um so that it will be
distributed among the families.

01:51:12.740 --> 01:51:15.560
So my advice is I'm sure, you
know,

01:51:15.569 --> 01:51:18.839
just watching this high school
virtual fair.

01:51:18.959 --> 01:51:22.990
Knowing about all the wonderful
programs of district 75 you have

01:51:23.000 --> 01:51:26.439
more or less for the family's
parents that you are more or less,

01:51:26.450 --> 01:51:27.040
you know,

01:51:27.049 --> 01:51:32.490
um a one particular site that
you would like to um request for

01:51:32.500 --> 01:51:35.990
your child to attend. Um I do
advise, you know,

01:51:36.000 --> 01:51:39.439
we have a lot of wonderful
programs to have at least 2 to 3

01:51:39.450 --> 01:51:40.910
requested sites.

01:51:40.919 --> 01:51:44.970
So in order for that to be taken
into account, you can,

01:51:44.979 --> 01:51:45.209
you know,

01:51:45.220 --> 01:51:49.120
I will definitely share our
general inbox at the end of this um

01:51:49.129 --> 01:51:54.899
slide as well as you can also
let your parent coordinator know

01:51:55.229 --> 01:51:58.339
um your preferences or your
requested sites.

01:51:58.419 --> 01:52:02.669
So a lot of the schools, if not
all who are in this fair,

01:52:02.680 --> 01:52:05.310
they definitely note the parent
request.

01:52:05.319 --> 01:52:06.930
So throughout the years,

01:52:06.939 --> 01:52:09.209
whenever I receive that
articulation list,

01:52:09.419 --> 01:52:13.879
I see what the parents have
requested and I definitely do my

01:52:13.890 --> 01:52:17.950
best to accommodate the parent
request.

01:52:17.959 --> 01:52:21.080
So it is helpful to, to have
preferred site.

01:52:21.089 --> 01:52:25.720
So if you don't get in your
child doesn't get in in the first uh

01:52:25.729 --> 01:52:27.970
preferred site, definitely, you
know,

01:52:27.979 --> 01:52:32.629
I would look into the second or
third one. OK.

01:52:32.640 --> 01:52:37.160
Um Next, um This is a sample of
an articulation letter.

01:52:37.290 --> 01:52:42.439
I am not sure, but there is
someone who is drawing on our slide.

01:52:43.149 --> 01:52:47.529
Um I know all of us, we want to
go to Disneyland right now.

01:52:47.540 --> 01:52:52.189
I know um I think that's
probably a student and I don't see the

01:52:52.200 --> 01:52:57.830
student's name. So I'm gonna,
it's Alison, it's on the NYCP.

01:52:58.419 --> 01:53:01.970
I see it. So he, I think he
should stop.

01:53:02.020 --> 01:53:06.020
Please don't put you on the
screen. Ok, thank you.

01:53:06.750 --> 01:53:10.350
So should I, what should I do a
way for us to block to?

01:53:10.359 --> 01:53:13.879
Yeah, there should be a way for
us to take back control.

01:53:14.069 --> 01:53:16.069
I can take them out.

01:53:18.089 --> 01:53:18.439
I mean,

01:53:18.450 --> 01:53:22.850
definitely it's a reminder for
us to maybe take a camera,

01:53:24.129 --> 01:53:26.129
turn off the camera maybe.

01:53:27.029 --> 01:53:31.529
Ok. So now we can proceed. I
just stop the camera. Ok.

01:53:32.060 --> 01:53:35.180
So this is a sample of
articulation letter.

01:53:35.189 --> 01:53:37.609
Um I think for this school year,

01:53:37.620 --> 01:53:40.329
um we will have a different
template.

01:53:40.629 --> 01:53:46.700
Um I am sure that all our
schools um but not our families are

01:53:46.709 --> 01:53:52.209
aware that district 75 placement
is no longer under district 75.

01:53:52.220 --> 01:53:56.910
We are under OS E which is the
office of student enrollment.

01:53:57.149 --> 01:53:59.569
We are at central office
already,

01:53:59.580 --> 01:54:02.359
but we still do work with
district 75.

01:54:02.370 --> 01:54:06.490
It's just that we have come
under the bigger organization,

01:54:06.689 --> 01:54:08.370
but definitely we still, you
know,

01:54:08.379 --> 01:54:12.979
our priority is our dis our our
district 75 um students.

01:54:13.149 --> 01:54:15.000
So this is just a sample.

01:54:15.009 --> 01:54:17.290
So definitely once you receive
the letter,

01:54:17.299 --> 01:54:21.080
it will contain your child's
name, the student's name,

01:54:21.089 --> 01:54:25.669
the ID number and it shows the
information on the school,

01:54:25.709 --> 01:54:30.129
the location as well as the
contact information of that school

01:54:30.140 --> 01:54:34.060
where the student will
articulate either in middle school or in

01:54:34.069 --> 01:54:36.069
high school.

01:54:36.689 --> 01:54:42.189
OK. So this is an important
point that I want to um emphasize.

01:54:42.330 --> 01:54:46.310
So articulation is not a regular
placement offer.

01:54:46.319 --> 01:54:51.290
So when the student was referred
to district 75 families,

01:54:51.299 --> 01:54:55.589
parents um that you were given a
placement offer.

01:54:55.990 --> 01:54:57.790
So basically, you will,

01:54:57.799 --> 01:55:01.129
I you will make a decision
either to accept or decline the

01:55:01.140 --> 01:55:05.140
placement offer. However, for
articulation,

01:55:05.459 --> 01:55:11.770
the goal is to ensure that your
child or the student will have a

01:55:11.779 --> 01:55:18.439
district 75 school to attend for
September of 2024 that has the

01:55:18.450 --> 01:55:22.720
recommended program on your
child's IEP. So for example,

01:55:22.729 --> 01:55:27.720
the student is for a 611 program
articulating to high school.

01:55:27.729 --> 01:55:32.640
Then my responsibility is to
identify a high school that offers

01:55:32.649 --> 01:55:38.040
a 611 program um that your child
will attend in September.

01:55:38.540 --> 01:55:40.680
Um definitely, of course, you
know,

01:55:40.689 --> 01:55:45.959
we do consider a lot of requests
um special situations such as,

01:55:45.970 --> 01:55:49.399
you know, parents wanting
siblings to attend the same school.

01:55:49.439 --> 01:55:51.400
We do give priority to that.

01:55:51.700 --> 01:55:54.839
Um It also depends on seat
availability.

01:55:54.850 --> 01:55:57.669
I'm sure um a lot of our high
schools,

01:55:57.680 --> 01:55:59.970
they also have their middle
school programs.

01:56:00.180 --> 01:56:01.939
So the middle school students,

01:56:01.950 --> 01:56:05.410
their own middle school students
more or less articulate to

01:56:05.419 --> 01:56:06.779
their high school programs.

01:56:06.790 --> 01:56:11.029
Um definitely depending on seat
availability, but of course,

01:56:11.040 --> 01:56:14.479
you know, our own high schools,
of course articulate within.

01:56:14.729 --> 01:56:18.640
So we have to consider that as
well when we want to request uh

01:56:18.649 --> 01:56:22.950
particular high schools. Um This
is also just a footnote.

01:56:22.959 --> 01:56:27.000
I mean, um most a few of our
students every school year,

01:56:27.220 --> 01:56:33.560
um they are identified or
evaluated that they can um go lre or

01:56:33.569 --> 01:56:38.060
least restrictive environment
which means they can go and attend

01:56:38.069 --> 01:56:40.990
a community school. So if that
happens,

01:56:41.000 --> 01:56:46.109
if the school IEP team
determines that a student will transition

01:56:46.140 --> 01:56:48.640
to a community school in
September,

01:56:48.750 --> 01:56:53.479
then the IEP has to be changed
and finalized to reflect a

01:56:53.490 --> 01:56:55.529
community school program.

01:56:55.649 --> 01:56:59.340
So this should be done before
the last day of school in June.

01:56:59.640 --> 01:57:00.509
Um So that,

01:57:00.520 --> 01:57:03.680
that IEP will be finalized so
that when the families will

01:57:03.689 --> 01:57:07.819
contact the family Welcome
Center for assistance in uh

01:57:07.830 --> 01:57:10.560
identifying a community school,
then you know,

01:57:10.569 --> 01:57:12.459
it will be a smoother process.

01:57:12.649 --> 01:57:16.689
Um This will all this
information can also be found in the

01:57:16.700 --> 01:57:18.729
family Welcome Center website.

01:57:18.930 --> 01:57:20.680
And if you need more
information, of course,

01:57:20.689 --> 01:57:26.020
definitely you can reach out to
the 75 placement inbox.

01:57:27.600 --> 01:57:30.459
OK. So um these are a list,

01:57:30.470 --> 01:57:34.700
this is the list of um middle
school and high school programs.

01:57:35.000 --> 01:57:40.020
Um Most of the schools here are
al are also in attendance here.

01:57:40.229 --> 01:57:42.660
Um It shows the middle school,

01:57:42.669 --> 01:57:47.680
what type of assessment um this
has been explained thoroughly um

01:57:47.689 --> 01:57:52.220
through the presentations of
each school, this um list,

01:57:52.229 --> 01:57:52.560
you know,

01:57:52.569 --> 01:57:55.790
I will definitely share with all
the schools here as well as in

01:57:55.799 --> 01:58:00.339
the chat. Um The powerpoint so
that everyone can access it.

01:58:00.720 --> 01:58:03.410
Um Definitely, you know, you can
find the address,

01:58:03.419 --> 01:58:06.259
the location as well as the
program.

01:58:06.270 --> 01:58:08.229
So J stands for middle school,

01:58:08.240 --> 01:58:11.149
JHS junior high school and then
high school.

01:58:11.160 --> 01:58:13.220
Definitely for high school. Ok.

01:58:14.229 --> 01:58:18.089
Um So this is very important.
Ok.

01:58:18.100 --> 01:58:22.970
So this is the first year that
we are using a general inbox and

01:58:22.979 --> 01:58:26.669
from the feedback that we have
been receiving a lot of schools

01:58:26.680 --> 01:58:28.020
as well as families,

01:58:28.200 --> 01:58:32.220
they are sending messages
through this inbox because they

01:58:32.229 --> 01:58:33.930
receive a faster response.

01:58:33.939 --> 01:58:39.529
This inbox is monitored by the
whole team um and OS E office of

01:58:39.540 --> 01:58:40.479
student enrollment.

01:58:40.490 --> 01:58:44.419
So definitely, um it is a faster
way to reach us.

01:58:44.629 --> 01:58:48.560
Um Please make sure that
whenever you send an email,

01:58:48.569 --> 01:58:52.629
please include your child's name
and ID number because at times

01:58:52.770 --> 01:58:57.189
we just receive an email saying
that we need information on how

01:58:57.200 --> 01:59:01.549
to enroll my daughter. So, you
know, for expedited response,

01:59:01.560 --> 01:59:04.269
please make sure you include all
that information.

01:59:04.569 --> 01:59:09.339
Um So that uh when we receive
messages for the Bronx,

01:59:09.350 --> 01:59:11.420
it definitely gets fielded to
me.

01:59:11.720 --> 01:59:16.580
Um So for the inbox, definitely,
you know,

01:59:16.589 --> 01:59:22.430
you can request either um
particular 2 to 3 preferred middle

01:59:22.439 --> 01:59:24.299
school or high school sites.

01:59:24.410 --> 01:59:29.080
You can share that with the D 75
placement inbox or you can

01:59:29.089 --> 01:59:32.939
share that with the parent um
coordinator so that it can be

01:59:32.950 --> 01:59:36.479
communicated with the current
school of your child and they can

01:59:36.490 --> 01:59:41.129
note it on the articulation list
that we are the 75 placement

01:59:41.140 --> 01:59:45.890
and the school is working on. Um
And then of course, you know,

01:59:45.899 --> 01:59:50.259
when you receive the
articulation letter and you kind of change

01:59:50.270 --> 01:59:53.029
your mind and you would like to
request a change.

01:59:53.040 --> 01:59:54.270
Definitely, of course,

01:59:54.279 --> 01:59:59.270
you can reach out to us and we
will work with you on what is um

01:59:59.520 --> 02:00:01.520
the
