Dear Parent/Guardian:

It is with great pleasure that we welcome your child as a member of the Cobble Hill School of American Studies community.

The high school experience can be an exciting but intimidating time. It is your child’s final stop on their journey towards adulthood, and we are honored that you have chosen to entrust the future of your child into our very capable hands. We accept this responsibility seriously and we are determined to begin, from day one, taking every step to ensure your child’s journey is a successful one.

We’ve held orientations on June 8 & June 10th. During these orientations you had the chance to gain a feeling of all the Cobble Hill has to offer. If you have missed these events, we have posted a recording of our orientation on our school’s website-cobblehillhighschool.org.

In order to provide every opportunity to succeed in high school, we would like to invite your child to attend our Summer Bridge Program. This summer experience focuses on providing incoming freshmen an opportunity to achieve a smooth transition from middle school to high school. The Summer Bridge Program will help your child adapt to the academic rigor of high school, will offer team building, goal setting, and enrichment sessions. Participants will be given metro cards to travel via train and bus. The days for our bridge program are July 13 -15 from 12:00 to 2pm and lunch will be provided.

The link to RSVP for the Summer Bridge Program is below https://forms.gle/ui2rxCUk1B18MbTp7 , with this link your child may also choose from a menu of elective courses that they make take in the fall.

If you have any questions please contact Principal Mulé at amule@schools.nyc.gov.

Dear Cobble Hill students and guardians,

This is a reminder that Regents exams are only being administered in the following four subject areas: Algebra I, English Language Arts, Living Environment, and Earth Science. These exams will be administered in-person in our school building. Please remember that there will be no Regents exams administered in August.

Due to the pandemic, students who passed classes that terminate in a Regents exam are eligible for exam waivers. Waivers count as a passing score for that exam and towards graduation. Waivers are available for all Regents exams subjects, including the 4 exams being administered in person.

If you have opted to still take the exam, please report to the building on the date that the exam is being administered.

If you have any questions or concerns please email Principal Mulé at amule@schools.nyc.gov

We appreciate your collaboration and flexibility as we continually work to ensure a strong, supportive education for your child and every student in our school community.

Sincerely,

Anna Maria Mulé

Principal

Dear Parents/Guardians,

In order for your child to return to in-person learning, you must submit the consent form for in-school COVID-19 testing by the first day your child returns to their school building.

Mandatory in-school testing will happen weekly for a random selection of staff and students in all reopened school buildings. In order for your child to return to in-person learning, you must submit the consent form for in-school COVID-19 testing by the first day your child returns to The Cobble Hill School of American Studies.

• Submitting consent to have your child tested for COVID-19 in school is quick and easy. If you have already submitted consent, we encourage you to do so again to ensure your child has the latest form on file. There are two easy ways to submit:
• Fill out the form online using a New York City Schools Account (NYCSA) (Open external link)
  • If you already have a NYCSA account linked to your child: Log in, click your child’s name, click “Manage Account,” and then when a dropdown menu appears, click “Consent Forms.” Read the page, and then choose the consent option at the end for your child.
  • If you do not already have a NYCSA account: You can create one right away! If you have an account creation code from your school, you can create a full account in approximately five minutes, and then provide consent as described above. If you do not have an account creation code from your school, you can still provide your consent right away by clicking “Manage Consent” under “COVID-19 Testing” and filling out your and your child’s information to provide consent.
• Print and sign the form and bring it to your child’s school on the first day they are back in the school building. A printable PDF file is available in ten languages, under Consent Forms below.

The test is easy, quick, and safe. Instead of the “long swab” that goes in the back of the nose, this test is a short, small swab (like a Q-Tip) that goes just in the front of the nose. Later this school year, it is possible that tests will be administered by collecting a small amount of saliva (spit). The whole test will take about two minutes.

We want to assure you that if your child is selected for testing but is uncomfortable or unable to be tested, we will not test your child and will work with you to address any concerns so that they can participate in future testing. We are focused on making this a brief, and gentle experience for our students, led by trained testers.

If your child is tested, DOE will let you know they were tested and when and how you will receive the results, which will typically be provided within 48-72 hours.
