Hi Parents, Guardians and Students of John Dewey HS.
This is your principal; Connie Hamilton and I want to say thank you for trusting us and for collaborating with us to ensure that your children get the best education that we can give to them during this very uncertain time. We have gotten through our first week of remote learning and WE DID GOOD! We had approximately 75 percent student attendance on-line, 100 percent teacher attendance all week and we are working together all day to create more and better experiences for your children. Presently, grades are due in two weeks and your children will be receiving their grades as usual. As long as they are handing in their work to the best of their ability they will be in good shape. Remember, if they don’t attend virtual classes and don’t hand in their assignments, they cannot receive a passing grade. We still must hold our students to a high standard, and I am sure they will rise to the occasion.
There will be more updates as we move forward. To date, school will be closed for the next two weeks. If you need to contact us, please use the website to contact our parent coordinator, Ms. Gattuso or contact your child’s teacher or guidance counselor through pupil-path. I understand that this is a difficult and scary time but if you can, enjoy your loved ones, read a book for fun, meditate, take a walk practicing social distancing and always be well and be safe. I know that we will come out of this stronger and I hope to see you all soon.
Sincerely,
Connie Hamilton

Dear Families,
Tomorrow, we will all come together to take the first steps of a huge new educational journey as New York City brings remote learning to our 1.1 million students.
While none of us could have predicted even a few weeks ago that we would launch this dramatic new transition in education, I could not be prouder of the way our educators have come together to ready themselves to teach your children from their own homes. And I could not be more grateful to all of you for your faith in our educators, and all of the hardworking staff at DOE.
