End of Year Reminders

Dear IEYMS Families,

We hope that you are well and looking forward to enjoying the beautiful summer weather. As we wrap up the 2020-2021 school year, we would like for virtual students to return all IEYMS textbooks, calculators, library books and other school issued materials on Friday, June 18. Please keep the district issued chrome book through the summer and into the next school year. We ask that all virtual students kindly return supplies between the hours of 11:00 and 3:00. Students taking the Algebra regents will keep their school issued calculator until after the regents exam (if they received one). Drop off bins will be located outside of the Centre Avenue entrance. Students will not enter the building. If your child has Mr. Thompson for instrumental class or Dr. Fung for strings class, they have made arrangements for virtual students to return their instruments on June 14/15 between the hours of 3:00-4:00 pm. Students in these classes should check with their teachers for the final details. In person students will return their school issued supplies during in school hours. 

As a reminder, the last full day of school is June 16. Final exams begin on June 17. Virtual students will remain virtual to complete their exams. In person students will report to school no earlier than 8:30 and before 8:40. Exams will begin at 8:45. Students have until 10:45 to complete their final exams. Dismissal will be at 10:45. Students who require additional time due to IEP or 504 mandates, will receive additional time if needed. If you normally pick your child up from school, please make the appropriate arrangements as there are no after school activities during finals week. Students should bring their chrome books to take final exams. 

IMPORTANT CHANGE: The Algebra regents and Living Environment regents are only offered in person. All students who registered to take the Algebra regents and Living Environment regents must report to school by 8:15 on the day of the exam. Students will be admitted into their testing locations at 8:15am. Both exams will be given at IEYMS and not the high school as originally communicated. IEYMS students taking these two state regents exams should report to IEYMS. 

Students who have Mrs. Roper, Mrs. Bejar, and Mrs. Storino (Life Skills and ABA classes) will continue to report to school until June 25. June 21-June 25 school hours will be 8:30-12:00 (half-days). The morning bus will come at its regular time. Please be sure that someone is home to accept your child once they arrive home in the afternoon. The bus will depart IEYMS at 12:00. 

Please contact us should you have additional questions.

Thank you for your continued support and we are so looking forward to September 2021.

• Metrocards can be purchased online and with a delay to the start of the school year, the price will be adjusted to account for the later start to the year:  CSDNR Metro Card Purchase.pdf  (please click on the blue link)
• Metrocards will be provided to students in school during the first week’s orientation.

Can my student purchase a metrocard at school during the first week? Students can also purchase a metrocard at school, if you are unable to do so online.  The pass will be $92.00 for the beginning of the school year.  Sales will take place in the Metro Card Office (across from the security desk).  The student metrocards are renewable in January for a discounted price of $115.00.  If the student metrocard is lost, you may replace it for a $5.00 replacement fee.
