Good Morning RA Families, Below is a great opportunity for parents to voice their ideas and concerns. I recognize it is a bit short notice, however, if you are available tonight to participate I strongly encourage you to do so. Funding has also been secured to pay parents that agree to help shape the proposal between now and April 30th. Please consider joining them TONIGHT to identify needed system changes that impact children in Rochester (see attached flyer). The focus will be on Education, Health, and Human Service Systems. Their approach will be your approach, with a commitment to use these funds to pay parents to be engaged, provide paid training on community organizing, and potentially hire parents to lead change efforts. They are NOT asking you to sit at another table and start over, rather we want to get behind what you are already passionate about and help make connections for greater impact. You will be sitting at a table of parents setting priorities about how to allocate resources in our community – we will be listening to you and supporting you to implement the changes you want to see. To join the meeting and for more information, please contact Steve Hanmer at shanmer@abcinfo.org or Tanya Thurman at tthurman@abcinfo.org. Thank you on behalf of our team, Action for a Better Community, Jordan Health, and Ibero-American Action League

Please disregard the previous information you received earlier today via Facebook, text and email. Below is the actual information that was intended for parents. In partnership with Achievement First, the New York Charter Schools Association will be hosting an immigration info session on April 21 from 6-7 pm to inform our communities of the forms of immigration relief available. An attorney with New Haven Legal Aid will provide an overview of what immigration reliefs are available and answer any questions from the community. This event will be in Spanish & English (other languages can be requested when registering) and is open to the general public.

Please read this important message about virtual instruction next week! Due to NYS ELA testing, all students in grades K-6 will have asynchronous instruction on Monday, April 19 and Thursday, April 22. This means that teachers will post lessons in the Google Classroom for students to complete, but there will be no scheduled time for students to log into Zoom and meet face-to-face with their teacher. Teachers will check the completion of the activities and take attendance for those students who complete the activities. Thank you and please reach out to your child's teacher with any questions!
