The DOE is hosting several weekly citywide activity challenges and virtual field trips this summer for students in grades K–12 from July 13–August 17. These challenges are virtual, self-directed, and independent experiences, ranging from students expressing themselves through dance and song, to creating pixel portraits of themselves in Minecraft. Additionally, there are 106 virtual field trips that allow students to visit extraordinary people and places, learn about remarkable events in history, and explore fascinating topics, all online. To participate, an electronic parental consent form is required for students; the link to the consent form is contained in each challenge. To access the challenges, students will need to sign on using their DOE student accounts. New challenges will be posted each week on the Summer Enrichment Challenges and Activities family-facing webpage. 

The name change will occur the week beginning Monday, August 3rd. How you use the service, as well as the ownership and operation of the company, will remain unchanged. You are not REQUIRED to do anything to receive future notifications and/or emails. 

 We will be using OPEROO to stay connected, as it is vital for updates to the Digital version of the Blue Card Emergency Contacts during this Remote Learning journey.

OPEROO makes it very easy for you to respond to digital communications, such as school forms, surveys, make payments and keep your Emergency Contact Information (digital version of the Blue Card) current and up-to-date, using your mobile phone, tablet or PC.

The City has created the GetFoodNYC food delivery program to provide food for coronavirus (COVID-19)-vulnerable and food-insecure New Yorkers not currently served through existing food delivery programs.
This program is available to you if you:
Are unable to go out and get food for yourself, AND
Do not have someone else in your household who can get food for you, AND
Do not have a family member, friend, or neighbor who lives nearby who can get food for you, AND
Do not receive food from Meals on Wheels, God’s Love We Deliver or a similar service, AND
Are not able to afford food delivery from a restaurant or grocery store.
If you qualify, you should note that:
Each household can only make 1 order per day.
Each person who needs food will be given one box, which is designed to last 2 days.
GetFoodNYC will deliver to a maximum of 3 people in each household.
The amount of food delivered is based on the number of people in your household who need food from this service.

 Please visit NYC website below to learn more about this program and to sign up.
