Message from Chancellor:
Equipment Distribution
In order to help all students adjust to remote learning environments, Apple and T-Mobile will ensure that in the coming weeks, up to 300,000 New York City public school students who don’t currently have an internet-connected device will have one for their schoolwork while we are conducting remote learning. This will begin with the delivery of 25,000 iPads next week. We anticipate approximately 50,000 devices will then be delivered for each week after that.
To inform distribution of these devices, we are asking families to complete a survey sharing their best contact information over the next few weeks as well as whether they have access to a smartphone, a laptop/tablet/computer, the internet, or none of the above. We will use the information to prioritize device distribution and inform families of pickup location.
Please share this survey with your families, particularly those who do not have access to an internet-connected device, and ask them to complete by Friday, March 20th. This information will be essential to support distribution of the devices. We will also be distributing a flyer for you to print and distribute at your school’s grab and go meal site. Schools can also work with families to fill out the form online.
