Update for Families on Fall Learning Options

This fall, Brooklyn Gardens  plans to offer blended learning, a mix of in-person days at school and remote-learning days at home.

The default for all students is to participate in their schools’ blended learning schedules.

​​

BGES will keep you informed of its specific learning model and your child’s schedule.

​

At any time of year, for any reason, you can choose fully remote learning for your child. This means they would learn 100% remotely (all online, from home). Remote learning includes live interaction with teachers every day, and every class includes live instruction.

  • To choose fully remote learning for your child, fill out and submit this form.

  • If you have difficulties completing this form online, call 311 or contact the school at 19k557@bges.educaion.

​


If you are still interested in choosing 100% remote learning for your child

PLEASE complete this survey.

Learn at Home App for DOE-Issued iPads

A new app, called Learn at Home, is now available on all DOE-issued iPads. The Learn at Home app is helpful in supporting students’ remote-learning needs—giving parents, students, and staff the ability to stay connected and informed through quick access to student accounts, other learning apps and technical support. The app provides students with links to all the tools they need to attend class, complete assignments, and track their progress. The Learn at Home app features include: Student apps in one place; Easy access to schedules and homework; Easy-to-find links to DOE tech support; Additional learning resources by grade level; and A notification system for DOE news and information.

​

Note that the Learn at Home app is only available on DOE-issued iPads at this time. Students who enabled app notifications on their devices can receive updates about DOE news and information. For questions, email LearnAtHome@schools.nyc.gov.
