Subject: Devices for Families and Teachers

Hello PC's,

Below is the latest update from the Chancellor regarding devices for families and teachers:

We are currently developing guidance and policy for the distribution of technology that is in your school building. At this time, please do not open your school to give devices to families and/or staff. Guidance and next steps will be forthcoming this week. In order to support this process, please follow the below next steps for each group respectively
For Students: As you know, we want to ensure our students continue to learn, and that will mean each of them will need a device. While you wait for additional guidance regarding distributing existing devices at your school, please continue to encourage families, particularly those who do not have access to an internet-connected device at home, to complete the Remote Learning Device Request Form<https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcoronavirus.schools.nyc%2FRemoteLearningDevices&data=02%7C01%7CNMora%40schools.nyc.gov%7C95c81de2cd1b47283cbf08d7d1997693%7C18492cb7ef45456185710c42e5f7ac07%7C0%7C0%7C637208329357203954&sdata=gKAH9%2FlorKbyIZNdJJrbkamISnBKSrSaOXrIHBVlvr0%3D&reserved=0> or call 718-935-5100, and choose option 5 to request a device, which will be distributed on a rolling basis.

For more information about the form, see here<https://www.schools.nyc.gov/school-life/health-and-wellness/coronavirus-update>.
For Teachers: In addition, the DOE wants to make sure that teachers have the access they need for Remote Learning. If one or more of your teachers still do not have a device or internet access, please complete this Teacher Technology Gap Survey<https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.surveygizmo.com%2Fs3%2F5516459%2FTeacher-Technology-Gap-Survey&data=02%7C01%7CNMora%40schools.nyc.gov%7C95c81de2cd1b47283cbf08d7d1997693%7C18492cb7ef45456185710c42e5f7ac07%7C0%7C0%7C637208329357213947&sdata=VHBuBt6LJTgXHE1pwFSCvVPt2NjoMiuuNVhWj42LZ2Q%3D&reserved=0> by end of day, Wednesday, March 25. Please complete this form for each teacher still needing a device or internet access. This survey can be filled out by you as the principal or can be forwarded to a member of your staff. Only one survey should be filled out per school.
