  • City Government Jobs: www.nyc.gov/jobs

  • Additional jobs in NYC, which may or may not be government jobs: https://working.nyc.gov/opportunities

  INFORMATION YOU MUST KNOW 

  • Not all, but manycareer positions, high school internships, and college internships are on currently hold due to Covid.  Thus,you must periodically revisit websites to see updates concerning opportunities when they become available.

  • Many NYC government careers require you to take a civil service exam. Applying for these jobs is not as simple as just emailing a resume and then getting an interview. Please pay attention to upcoming civil service exams and take any that you qualify for. Only individuals who take and pass certain exams are eligible to apply for certain jobs. Periodically visit this link to see which civil service exams are available: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/dcas/employment/how-can-you-find-upcoming-exams.page

  • When civil service exams are posted online, they are only available for a limited time, usually a few weeks.  Some exams are only available once every several years. Every exam lists the qualifications needed for you to apply and it is your responsibility to know if you qualify based on your educational background and work experience.  Many of these exams are not necessarily “exams” in the sense that the SATs or Regents are exams; they may be applications where you have to list your education credentials and work experience, and you are awarded “points” for each. When results are determined, you are then placed on a list of eligible applicants for a certain job. 

  • Please read instructions and details regarding any program before sending out emails.

  • Ensuring all students and families are supported 

  • Communicating changes in family situations to facilitate interventions

  • Being mindful of the amount of time students spend in front of an electronic device

   

  Communicating with Families

  • Checking-in with individual students and getting to know all students well

  • Actively encouraging ongoing conversations with individual families

    • Parents/guardians can select a ‘CR’ (Credit) in lieu of a numeric grade, on a case by case basis.

    • [Grades of ‘CR’ are not included in a student’s GPAs, but GPA should not be the only consideration when making this selection.] 

   

  Thank you, everyone, for your continued support of our community in these unprecedented times. If you are thinking about reaching out to someone, think no further. Reach out to let them know you are thinking about them.

• Early Spring Standardized Testing Updates

  March 3, 2021

   

  Dear LaGuardia Arts,

   

  We hope this email finds you well, and we are looking forward to Spring and a strong finish to our 2020-2021 school year.

   

  As we have shared, New York State, New York City, and LaGuardia Arts have determined that standardized examinations cannot be safely, equitably, and fairly administered during the pandemic. Below, please find important information regarding adjustments to Spring’s standardized testing:

   

  PSAT (In-School) - NOT OFFERED

  NYCDOE high schools are not administering the PSAT.

   

  SAT for 11th Grade Students (In-School) - April 13

  NYCDOE high schools are administering the SAT for juniors in-school on select days determined by the College Board. In order to administer the SAT, schools must also be able to adhere to proper health, safety, and test administration policies, as set forth by the NYCDOE and the College Board, including having sufficient space for testing students, while allowing for social distancing. At LaGuardia, the administration is on Tuesday, April 13, 2021, for juniors who expressed interest by the registration deadline. These students and their families received an email confirmation of their registration through PupilPath. Registration for this SAT administration is now closed and we are unable to order additional exams. Students can continue to register to take the SAT at monthly testing sites through the College Board; however, many families are finding their recent testing dates cancelled.  Please note that many colleges waived the testing requirement for the 2020-2021 application cycle, and many have already waived the testing requirement for the 2021-2022 application cycle.

   

  ACT (In-School) - NOT OFFERED

  NYCDOE high schools do not administer the ACT.

   

  Regents Exams in June, 2021 - AWAITING GUIDANCE

  The New York State Education Department believes that school instructional time would be best focused on supporting students in academics as well as social-emotional health rather than attempting to administer assessments to the limited population of students who are receiving in-person instruction. January 2021 Regents Exams were cancelled and students received waivers.  We are awaiting guidance from the State and City regarding the June 2021 Regents Exams. 

   

  AP Exams Dates and Information (Online and In-School) - MULTIPLE DATES

  NYCDOE schools are administering AP Exams on select dates determined by the College Board. In order to administer AP Exams in-person, schools must be able to adhere to proper health, safety, and test administration policies, as set forth by the NYCDOE and the College Board. To adhere to those guidelines, LaGuardia Arts will not be administering most exams in-person, but most exams will be administered online at home by the College Board; however, there are a few exams that can only be given in-person at LaGuardia.

   

  AP Exams will be administered to LaGuardia students as per the schedule below. Registration for AP Exams is now closed and we are unable to order additional exams. If you no longer wish to take an AP Exam, please complete this form:  AP Exam Registration:  DECLINE.  This year, there is no cancellation fee charged. Any applicable exam fees will be collected at a later date.

• Chancellor's Update to Families: March 2, 2021 (Revised)

  March 2, 2021 

   

  Dear Families, 

   

  Last Friday, I shared that I will be stepping down later this month, passing the privilege and responsibility of being Chancellor to Meisha Porter, a 20-year veteran of the DOE currently serving as Bronx Executive Superintendent. As Executive Superintendent Porter and I work together on the transition, I want to make sure you are aware of some important opportunities coming up over the next few weeks. 

   

  First, I’m beyond thrilled that we have finally reopened our middle schools for in-person learning. This is a milestone I have been looking forward to and I was excited to visit middle schools to see our students and teachers hard at work in healthy, safe, and supportive classrooms. As with our elementary grades, all middle schools have 20 percent of students and staff randomly tested on a weekly basis. Just as in our elementary grades, middle school students must also provide consent for COVID-19 testing by their first scheduled in-person learning day. You can do this through your NYC Schools Account at mystudent.nyc. 

   

  We are all-hands-on-deck to reopen our high schools as quickly as possible. Our main focus continues to be making sure we have every safety precaution in place, and we will announce a timeline soon. 

   

  As we enter the last few months of the school year, I’m pleased to offer several programs and opportunities to further support you and your children. In this Update for Families, you will find important information and resources on: 

   

   

   

   Preparing for Parent Teacher Conferences 

   

   

   Applying for Pre-K and 3-K for Fall 2021 

   

   

   Participating in “Weekend Wellness” activities for families and communities 

   

   

   

  I realize we’re all experiencing pandemic fatigue, but when I see what our students are accomplishing—both in-person and remotely—I am reminded of why we have all worked so hard these past 11 months. My pledge to you is as true today as it was when I began leading the most innovative school system in the nation: that all of us at the Department of Education will continue to deliver the best possible education to all our students, in the safest possible environments. 

   

  Sincerely, 

   

  Richard A. Carranza 

  Chancellor 

  New York City Department of Education

• Message from Chancellor Carranza

  February 26, 2021 

   

  Dear Families, 

   

  I hope you and your families are keeping safe and healthy. I’m writing today with some important news. 

   

  After three years leading the DOE, I will be stepping down as Chancellor in March. 

   

  I am full of mixed emotions to leave the DOE family. It has been the honor of my career to serve you, and help your child’s school and our whole system get closer to reaching its full potential. The strength and resilience of your children—our 1 million students—is awe-inspiring. It is what drove me through this unprecedented crisis, and it is what I take with me as I leave this post. The commitment and support you have shown to your children, and to your school communities, is incredible. 

   

  Throughout my career, my guiding light has been the belief that public education is the most powerful equalizer for children. Public education anchors communities. Public education makes it possible for a child who is poor, or who lives in temporary housing, or—in my own case—who doesn’t speak English when they enter the public school system to develop their dreams, and then to chase them. Truly, it is public education that expresses the highest ideals of our democracy. My time in New York City has only strengthened this belief, as I have seen it play out time and again, in schools all across the boroughs. 

   

  And together, we have seen proof. Our seniors kept breaking their own records as graduation rates and college enrollment kept rising higher, and the dropout rate kept getting lower. 

  We also made true progress in dismantling the structures and policies that are the products of decades of entrenched racism in the city and country. We have worked to undo segregation and turn “equity” from an esoteric concept to a reality. Every school that no longer screens children for admission, and every district that uses DOE resources to create more space for low-income students, or English language learners, is making this mission real. 

   

  We finally brought the mental health of our children into the spotlight and made it a major priority so that every child can feel welcomed, comfortable, and safe in their classroom and school community—especially now, when so many of our students are dealing with unforeseeable trauma. 

   

  And, of course, at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic we transformed the nation’s largest school system overnight in order to protect the health of our students, staff, families, and communities. We have reinvented what it means to teach and learn in New York City public schools. 

   

  All throughout, I have been proud to prioritize what’s best for kids over what’s politically popular. I have never been afraid of hard conversations. I have always believed that we need to set a high bar for every student—and then do what it takes to help them meet it. 

   

  You, your children, and the dedicated staff who serve you deserve both continuity and courageous leadership from your next Chancellor. You need someone who knows firsthand the reality on the ground at our schools, and has the talent and leadership to finish the school year out strong and drive towards bringing every child back to buildings in September. 

   

  That is why I am so proud that one of the most important leaders in this work will take on the privilege and responsibility of being your next Chancellor: Meisha Porter. 

   

  Meisha is a 20-year veteran of New York City public schools, and currently serves as Bronx Executive Superintendent. In this role, she leads community school districts 7-12, covering the entire borough and its 361 schools and 235,000 students. She is a lifelong New Yorker and product of our public schools who first joined the Department of Education as a teacher at the Bronx School for Law, Government, and Justice—a school she helped conceive. After 18 years at the school, where she became Principal, Meisha spent three years as Superintendent of District 11, serving the Pelham Parkway, Eastchester, and Woodlawn neighborhoods of the Bronx. She has been Executive Superintendent since 2018, and in that time, the students of the Bronx have achieved significant academic gains, and schools have gotten stronger and stronger. 

   

  Meisha is an unparalleled warrior for our students and our schools. She attended them, she taught in them, she led them, and now she will be Chancellor for ALL of them. None of the last several Chancellors—myself included—have been actively working with our schools, day in and day out, at the time they were appointed. Meisha will break the mold, bringing all her experience, past and present, to support you and your children. You will be hearing much more from Meisha soon, and I will be working with her over the next several weeks to ensure a smooth and productive transition. 

   

  More than anything, I am proud to have served you, and so proud of the strides we have made. I don’t know what’s next for me, but I know I will take the spirit and richness of New York City with me anywhere and everywhere I go. 

   

  It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve as your Chancellor. I am grateful to each and every one of you. 

   

  Sincerely, 

   

  Richard A. Carranza
