Welcome Back Cobble Hill Family,

     Dear Parents/Guardians:

     We are excited to cordially invite you to attend the Cobble Hill High School of American Studies Virtual Curriculum Night and PTA Meeting on Thursday September 29th, 2022, 4:00PM-7:00PM. From 4-5pm we will be hosting our first PTA meeting for the year. We ask that all Parents join the separate Zoom link for the PTA Meeting. Topics on the Agenda will include important information regarding Title 1, after school program, as well as a workshop to guide you on using the NYCDOE system where you can track your child’s grades, attendance, etc. From 5 – 7pm, you will have the opportunity to meet your child’ teachers and learn about the educational programs as well as activities for the 2022--2023 school year. The Zoom meetings will be created by grade teams so you will join your child’s teachers on that link for the presentation. There will be two sessions for the grade team presentations. The first will run from 5-6 and the second session will run from 6-7pm.
     We want to hear from you! As partners in your child’s education, you will have the opportunity to tell us your and your child’s needs. We encourage all parents to log onto NYSSCA to view classes and grades. If you need an authorization code please email Nicole Norman, Parent Coordinator @ nnorman2@schools.nyc.gov . Together, we can work together to continue to cultivate productive successful global citizens. We look forward to seeing you next week! 

Below you will find the Zoom Links:

Dear Cobble Hill Parent/Guardian:

            I hope you enjoyed a well-deserved summer break.  It is with great pleasure that I welcome you and your child back to Cobble Hill and the 2022-2023 school year.  I look forward to what I anticipate will be an exciting and productive school year!  Our dedicated staff is working hard to provide your child with an engaging and challenging learning experience that will send them on a trajectory towards success.  In order to accomplish this, I cannot stress enough of the importance of daily school attendance.  Coming to school and attending every class daily is the foundation for academic success.  

            We at Cobble Hill take pride in being a caring and learning community.  This is seen by how we know each of our children well.  We offer every child targeted support so they may thrive in an environment that is focused on developing engaged, productive, and successful global citizens.  We believe in supporting the whole child.  Bringing equity within the classroom walls and within our school building will ensure that all children’s needs are met and they have equitable opportunities to succeed.  

            You and your child’s voice matters. I encourage you all to join our PTA, and reach out to your child’s teachers and guidance counselor throughout the year.  Involved parent’s equal positive student outcomes.  As such, it’s my pleasure to welcome our new Parent Coordinator, Ms. Nicole Norman and our new Community School Director from our CBO, Wediko, Mr. Mark Smalls.  They have jumped right in to support our students and families.  

            Ms. Norman will be sending out a school calendar filled with important dates and events for both students and parents.  Additionally, I will be hosting a monthly morning coffee so parents can come and meet with me to discuss important topics.  I look forward to seeing you at one of these morning coffee talks.  I look forward to partnering with you in continuing to make Cobble Hill a safe place where your child will find equitable opportunities for success.
