Week of March 16
Hello South Bronx Early College Academy Community, I hope you are doing well. These are anxious times for many of us. Please know that the safety and health of our students and community at large are our number one priority. We have been following the guidance of and policies given to us by the New York State Department of Education. Currently, there is no plan for the department of education to close the schools. If there is a confirmed case in a specific school, that school will be closed for 24 hours. The city and state have determined at this time that the safest place for students to be is in school. We have an exceptionally great custodial staff and do deep cleanings daily. Our students are washing their hands frequently and we have hand sanitizing stations around the building. Additionally, we are preparing for a temporary closing as this outcome is a possibility. If this occurs there will be printed materials for the students to continue working, books for them to take home and read and online content for those with access. Students will also be able to email and interact with some of their teachers through their school emails, Google Hangouts and Google Classroom. Instructions for this and other content that can be accessed by digital devices will be on our school's website:https://sbecacs.org/Please click on the "Academics" tab for more information on materials for each grade. We will continue to share resources from the city and state. Please watch the news and stay informed. We will follow the DOE in instructions for remaining open and notify families of any updates or changes in scheduling. We are so proud of our community. We are here for each other and will continue to move forward and provide meaningful educational opportunities for our students. #WeAreSBECA Thank you, Mr. Blough Information about curriculum and daily instruction can be found at https://sbecacs.org/resources Click on the grade link below for more information : GRADE 6 GRADE 7 GRADE 8

From Mr. Dennis: Students were taught the process of how professional Artists apply to do public art. Students were able to see how the(DOT) Department of Transit Art commissions artists to apply using their format. Students created a black and white design along with a color version students were selected to install their design in the hallways of SBECACS. Students who asked to create designs that combines their cultural identity and colors that make them happy. Students are developing projects to be displayed for the School Spring Festival.
