Dear Families,
Happy first day of school, and welcome back! I hope you’re as excited as I am to start the 2019–20 school year. This is a great time to be a student in a New York City public school. So many of our students and schools are doing better than ever. We have the highest-ever graduation rate, and more students graduating ready to succeed in college. And I expect more great things for our students this year.
From our youngest learners to our oldest in high school, our children are the next generation of thinkers, leaders, creators, and change-makers. We are ready to propel each of them on that path. Our commitment holds steady regardless of a student’s family income, race, religion, nationality, disability, language spoken at home, sexual orientation, gender identification, or any other dimension of their identity. Everyone at the DOE is working hard to ensure that every student gets the rigorous, inspiring, engaging, nurturing education they deserve.
I call this the Children’s Agenda—every day and every decision is about getting each student what THEY need to succeed. We understand that no two students, classrooms, or schools are alike, and recognize the beautiful and distinctive nature of each. At the same time, we are offering our students and families strong support, creating more welcoming schools, and ensuring a rigorous curriculum for all. Students across the city will benefit from social-emotional learning, restorative justice practices, and culturally responsive curriculum that reflects who they are. This is what it means to advance equity now. All of us at the DOE hope you love what you see today, and wish you a successful school year.
Sincerely, Richard A. Carranza Chancellor

When your child is learning English, it is important to have a homework routine at home. This can make a significant difference in your child’s learning.
It is important to provide a quiet environment with few distractions. Make sure that your child has all the supplies he or she needs.
If you don’t understand the homework, you and your child can write down questions to ask the teacher. Even if you cannot speak English yourself, you can still check on your child to see if homework assignments are finished.

The test gives the state, schools, parents, and teachers important information about the English language development of ELLs.

In the United States, schools and families work together closely to help children succeed.
For example, you can contact your child’s teacher if you have questions, or you may be invited to events at the school.
When you are with your child, there is a lot that you can learn together!
It also has ideas related to math and science that are easy to try at home (like sorting socks).
Try some of these out, and if you find an activity that your child enjoys, look for different ways and places to try it, or share it with your child’s teacher — you may find something that other kids and families will enjoy too!
One of the greatest gifts you can give your child is the gift of two (or more) languages.
Being bilingual is good for your child's brain, makes communication with grandparents and relatives easier, and is an advantage for finding jobs in the future.

English-Language Learners, or ELLs, are a culturally and linguistically diverse group of students who often come from non-English or non-standard English speaking homes and backgrounds. These students come to PS 230 with different language, academic, and social-emotional needs and therefore require modified instruction.
