Principal's Monthly Town Hall Meetings
Principal Guerriero will be hosting monthly town hall meetings to provide important updates and foster an open line of communication. These meetings will serve as a platform to discuss key school events, new developments, and ensuring everyone is informed and engaged in the school community.
The town hall meetings will also include a Q&A session, where attendees can ask questions, voice concerns, and offer suggestions. We encourage all families to participate, as your feedback and involvement are essential in helping us continue to create a positive, and supportive environment for our students.

****An Important Update on Cell Phones and Other Electronic Devices***
Dear Families,
Last week, our Panel for Educational Policy approved a revision to Chancellor’s Regulation A-413. This regulation covers the use of personal internet-enabled electronic devices—such as cell phones, smartwatches, and tablets. The updated policy brings us into alignment with a new state law that prohibits the use of these devices from “bell to bell"—in other words, from the start until the end of the school day.
-
Here are a few key points to know ahead of the upcoming school year:
-
All schools must create a policy to ensure students are not using these devices during school hours. -
Each school can choose a device storage method that makes sense for them, such as pouches or lockers, and schools will receive funding to help implement these methods. -
There are certain exceptions to this policy, including when devices are used for medical, emergency, or specific educational purposes. -
Schools must share a direct phone number with families to streamline communication. Families should also make sure their emergency contact information is up-to-date in NYCSA.
I know this will be a significant change for many, and I encourage students, staff, and families to visit schools.nyc.gov/DevicePolicy to learn more. You can also watch the Highlight Video below, featuring Chief of Safety and Prevention Partnerships Mark Rampersant.
As a former principal who restricted cell phone use in my own school, I saw the impact distraction-free classrooms had on school culture and student achievement. And my school wasn’t alone—other schools are seeing similar results. Check out our Chancellor’s Spotlight below for just one powerful example.
I look forward to working together this school year to help our students focus, learn, and grow.
In partnership,
Melissa Aviles-Ramos
Chancellor
===================================
****Actualización importante sobre teléfonos celulares y otros dispositivos electrónicos***
Estimadas familias:
La semana pasada, nuestro Panel de Política Educativa aprobó una revisión del Reglamento A-413 de la Canciller. Este reglamento abarca el uso de dispositivos electrónicos personales con conexión a internet, como teléfonos celulares, relojes inteligentes y tabletas. Esta política actualizada nos alinea con una nueva ley estatal que prohíbe el uso de estos dispositivos desde el inicio hasta el final de la jornada escolar.
A continuación, algunos puntos clave que deben conocer antes del próximo ciclo escolar:
-
Todas las escuelas deben crear una política para garantizar que los estudiantes no utilicen estos dispositivos durante el horario escolar.
-
Cada escuela puede elegir un método de almacenamiento de dispositivos que le convenga, como fundas o casilleros, y recibirán fondos para implementar estos métodos.
-
Existen ciertas excepciones a esta política, como cuando los dispositivos se utilizan con fines médicos, de emergencia o educativos específicos.
-
Las escuelas deben compartir un número de teléfono directo con las familias para agilizar la comunicación. Las familias también deben asegurarse de que su información de contacto de emergencia esté actualizada en NYCSA.
Sé que este será un cambio significativo para muchos, y animo a los estudiantes, al personal y a las familias a visitar schools.nyc.gov/DevicePolicy para obtener más información. También pueden ver el video destacado a continuación, con Mark Rampersant, Jefe de Alianzas de Seguridad y Prevención.
Como exdirector que restringió el uso de teléfonos celulares en mi propia escuela, vi el impacto que las aulas sin distracciones tuvieron en la cultura escolar y el rendimiento estudiantil. Y mi escuela no fue la única: otras escuelas están obteniendo resultados similares. Consulten el artículo destacado de nuestro Canciller a continuación para ver un ejemplo contundente.
Espero con interés trabajar juntos este año escolar para ayudar a nuestros estudiantes a concentrarse, aprender y crecer.
En colaboración,
Melissa Aviles-Ramos
Canciller
