Dear Families,
We hope your child’s eighth grade year is off to a great start!
This fall, your child will apply to high school. There are three pathways to apply, and they all open on Tuesday, October 1.
You will apply through the website MySchools.nyc. If you already have a MySchools account that you used to apply to middle school, you can just log into that account to apply.
If you do not have a MySchools account, later this week you will receive a Welcome Letter from your child's school; this letter will have the information you need to create an account for your child. If you need any assistance, please reach out to your child’s counselor.
Tip! There’s no downside to submitting your application as soon as you’re ready! You can always go back and resubmit your application before the deadline.
Learn more about Admissions Methods!
Admissions methods are the ways that high school programs make offers to students; they also describe what you need to do to be considered for a program. There are two categories of admissions methods:
Programs where all you have to do is list the program on your application
Programs where you must also complete additional requirements to be considered
What can you do now?
Questions: We’re here to help! Talk to your child’s current school counselor or email HSEnrollment@schools.nyc.gov

September Newsletter - Click here to view the original newsletter
Principal’s Address Dear Sage Owls, Welcome to school year 2024-2025! The halls were bustling September 5th, and students were already engaged in activities in their classrooms. Across Sage, students were excited to be back in the classroom for another awesome year! Please read and use this newsletter every month to have engaging conversations with your children. For example, in English Language Arts (ELA) students will learn how to discover their voice and write narrative pieces. Some questions you might ask include: -What are my earliest memories? How far back can I remember? -What are the most important things that have happened to me in my life so far? -What’s something that happened to me on vacation that I’ll always remember? -What’s an incident that changed how I think or feel about something? The line of questioning will help students build their skills in metacognition (the process of thinking about one's own thinking and learning and the intentional thinking about how you think and learn.) This newsletter will also include pictures of all the monthly highlights at Sage! Have a fantastic September! Welcome back and Welcome to Sage!! Sincerely, John Greggo |

Find 2024 Yonder Adoption.pdf to learn about Yondr.
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:
Of our most recent impact survey of over 370 of our school partners:

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.
