News & Announcements

For anyone who has a DOE-loaned ipad, we have some important updates for you. It is essential that you take the actions below to ensure your child’s ipad is ready for use for return to school. The first day of school is only a few weeks away, and all students will be working remotely for at least a few days a week. Your child will need their ipad to be ready for learning for the fall.

Educators, staff, and everyone at the DOE, continue to work around the clock to prepare for a safe and healthy return to school in September. An important part of our planning depends on you!

While the Department of Education continues to carefully monitor a constantly changing health landscape, one thing remains steadfast: their commitment to the health and safety of our students, teachers, and staff. This priority is the foundation of all of our policy moving into September.

We invite our P.S. 20 community to join us on Friday, August 6, 2020 at 1:00pm for our first Return to School planning meeting.
