Admissions Questions
We have heard from so many of you about your questions around admissions for this year and next. CEC D2 submitted these questions to Office of Enrollment to try to get you accurate answers.
We have heard that the DOE is currently developing an admissions policy for next year and engaged in soliciting input from all stakeholders. We are still waiting to hear from the DOE how they plan to listen to the concerns of District 2 families.
UFT Resources
The hotline offers help in English for English language arts (ELA) and math homework to students in kindergarten through 5th grade. There are plans to include more subjects, grades and languages soon.
The UFT coronavirus resource hub for parents is a valuable resource full of family-friendly entertainment, financial relief, remote learning support, free food and health and wellness resources. It is updated regularly.
If you or your child needs to talk to a mental health professional, you can call the UFT BRAVE Hotline at 212-709-3222 on any weekday between 2:30 and 9:30 p.m.
Advancement Placement Exam Fees: In response to the unique challenges brought on by COVID-19, the DOE is extending coverage of AP exam fees for spring 2020 (including the late-testing window in June) to include all students. The DOE will cover all base AP exam fees, which is the basic cost of the exam, and late order fees, while the College Board will waive all other fees, including canceled, unused, and late-testing fees. The College Board will not assess any fees for exams not taken in spring 2020. On March 20 the College Board announced it would be shifting all paper-based AP exams to online testing, which students may complete at home. A full list of exam offerings, testing schedule, and submission deadlines is available on the AP Coronavirus Updates page.
