Family Learning Series
Youndr - phone-free space in Russell Sage
Dear Sage Families,
We will be making our school a phone-free space to improve teaching and learning using a system called Yondr beginning February 26th. Yondr has been implemented in over 2,000 schools across 16 countries to facilitate an engaged learning environment.
We believe that phones have great utility. We have also found that learning and social behavior improve drastically when students are fully engaged with their teachers and classmates.
The Yondr Program utilizes a simple, secure pouch that stores a phone. Every student will secure their phone in a personally assigned Yondr pouch when they arrive at school. Students will maintain possession of their phones and will not use them until their pouches are opened at the end of the school day. Students are required to bring their Yondr pouch to and from school each day and are responsible for their pouch at all times.
We received responses to our annual surveys from over 1,200 school partners, and after implementing the Yondr Education Program:
-
- 84% saw a change in student engagement
- 72% saw a positive change in student behavior
- 68% saw a positive change in academic performance
Of our most recent impact survey of over 370 of our school partners:
- 86% saw a positive impact in student safety and wellness
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your grade level AP or attend our January PTA meeting on 1/23/24 about the adoption of Yondr at 7pm on Zoom.
6th - Dr. Meneses - cmeneses2@schools.nyc.gov
7th - AP Malizia - lmalizia@schools.nyc.gov
8th - AP Aulicino - jaulicino@schools.nyc.gov
If there is an emergency and you would like to get in contact with your child, please reach out to our Main Office at 718-830-4970 ext.0.
In an effort to best serve your child, we appreciate your full support in adoption of the Yondr Program at our school.
Thank you,
Russell Sage Administration
DOE Message to Families: A reminder about PEB-T Benefits
Please note that PEB-T is not a DOE School program. All questions from families about the program should be directed to the ODTA site here: NYS Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) Food Benefits site. For questions about PEB-T, email otda.sm.eisp.PEBT@otda.ny.gov or call 833-452-0096. See the resources listed below for additional support.
Find this message on DOE Website: https://www.schools.nyc.gov/about-us/messages-for-families
Dear Parents/Guardians of NYC Public School Students,
We are writing to make you aware that if you are a parent or guardian of a child who was enrolled in NYC Public Schools (NYCPS) in the 2021- 2022 school year, Summer 2022 or Summer 2023, you are eligible for a food benefit card that you may not yet have accessed.
Parents/guardians of children who were enrolled in NYCPS in the 2021-2022 school year, Summer 2022 and Summer 2023 should have received a P-EBT food benefit card. These cards were issued to parents/ guardians between May 2023 and December 2023 on a rolling basis.
The Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer Program (P-EBT) is a Federal program to provide food benefits to children who miss the opportunity to receive school meals due to pandemic-related school closures. These benefits take the form of funds on electronic benefit transfer (EBT cards) which can be used in the same manner as SNAP (food stamp) cards. While this is not a NYCPS program, we wanted to make you aware, as all children enrolled in NYCPS schools in those time periods are eligible.
At this time, many parents/guardians have not yet utilized these benefits, with millions of dollars currently unspent. These dollars can still be spent on food, and the first of these benefits may be expiring soon. Parents/guardians should call the benefits helpline (listed on the back of this letter) to determine their outstanding balance.
Benefits were automatically issued to families of all eligible students. For students whose households receive SNAP, Temporary Assistance, or Medicaid benefits, P-EBT benefits were loaded to those household accounts. For all other students, new cards have been issued to each student specifically for P-EBT benefits and mailed directly to students’ home addresses. Benefits were issued between May 2023 and December 2023 on a rolling basis.
If you have received the card, but do not know how to use it, please see more detailed directions on the back of this letter. If you did not receive a card but were a parent of a NYCPS student at those times, or lost your card and need to order a replacement card, please also follow the directions on the back.
This is not a NYCPS initiative, so if you have more questions, please utilize the resources below this letter to find more information.
Emma Vadehra, Deputy Chancellor for Operations and Finance
Kenita Lloyd, Deputy Chancellor for Family and Community Engagement and External Affairs
Additional support:
P-EBT Food Benefits Helpline If a family has questions, they may call the P-EBT food benefits Helpline at 1-833-452-0096.
To order a replacement card Families can order a replacement P-EBT Food Benefit card by calling 1-888-328-6399.
Do P-EBT food benefits expire? P-EBT food benefits will remain available and accessible on your EBT or P-EBT Food Benefit card for 274 days from the date they were issued. You can check your family’s P-EBT food benefit balance by visiting connectebt.com or by calling 1-888-328-6399. For more information on the program, Please visit bit.ly/P-EBTfood.
Are there other food benefits or programs that can help my family? Yes. If your family does not already receive SNAP, you can see if you may be eligible and apply online at myBenefits.ny.gov
