District Goals
Improve Outcomes for Students
- By June 2021, District 7 will increase the percentage of ENLs and SWDs who perform at Levels 2-4 by 15% in service of reducing the gap in achievement between this subgroup and their general education peers by 5% through increased in person and remote instructional coherence, rigorous programs and an effective intervention program eliminating the use of reteaching as the predominant strategy to improve student performance without evidence of impact.
Strengthen Social-Emotional Learning and Culturally Responsive School Environments
- By June 2021, District 7 will engage our families using research-based programs and approaches to build inclusive in-person and remote school culture and CRSE environments resulting in a 5% decrease in chronic absenteeism, eliminating disparities in attendance rates for students with disabilities with the goal of eliminating/reducing the belief that the traditional ways of monitoring chronic absenteeism (407→phone call→ ACS) are effective in bridging the gap between schools and families
Develop Leaders
-By June 2021, District 7 will design and orchestrate a robust system of structured remote intervisitations in our District 7 community and beyond the District to cultivate and share best online and in-person practices which promote instructional excellence and accelerate student achievement resulting in 10% decrease in Level 1 student performance in Math and ELA while decreasing the achievement gap between SWD/ELL students and their General Education Non-ELL peers.
Mathematics
- By June 2021, District 7 schools will focus on providing students who performed a Level 1 in math with access to authentic, rich and diverse mathematical tasks and mathematical remote and in person experiences that promote conceptual understanding through student discussion, collaboration, and connection making reducing the belief that students of color who score in the lowest proficiency level require static teaching practices low in engagement in order to improve their proficiency which will result in a decrease in the percentage of students performing at level 1 in math by at least 5% as well as a decrease in the opportunity gap between SWDs/ELLs and their general education non-ELL peers by 5%

The 2020-2021 Parent Empowerment Workshop season is in full swing, and we don't want you to miss out on the opportunity to learn, share and grow alongside the members of our Bronx community.
This year, we have partnered with vendors who will be providing a wide range of Project-Based Learning (PBL) opportunities that will increase parent's knowledge and confidence when it comes to supporting their children who are learning in either the fully remote, or blended learning DOE schedules. We want you to have the tools you need to help your children succeed, and through a project-based learning (PBL) lens, every workshop will be accessible, fun and will come with insane raffle prizes! Want a chance to win a Desktop computer (Tower, keyboard, Mouse and 17" Flat-screen Monitor) that comes with Windows 10 installed?!
Enjoy these pictures of families who have won Computers so far this year! Register Today and let's get District 7 connected and empowered!
District 7 parent, Patricia Rodriguez led workshops on 'Emergency Preparedness' for the South Bronx. In this picture, she and her son receive a computer to help her further her outreach efforts to continue to bring more resources to the families of Community School District 7.
District 7 parent, Ms. Hope Bell, led a series of workshops on "How to make money from your ideas". These workshops were, in effect, "Small Business Ownership" classes. There were two parents from cohort 1 who went on to incorporate their ideas into fully functioning corporations, and they are now both vendors of the Department of Education and can continue to strive to meet their goals while serving the families of the South Bronx.
As a part of our ongoing workshops, we are raffling off a computer to one lucky winner in each of our presentations.
This program consists of a series of 3+ hour workshops throughout the year, which will focus on building our girls' abilities.

Registration ends as of October 13, 2020
Good Afternoon,
Please complete this survey to apply for the Learning Bridges program, which will provide child care options for children from 3-K through 8th grade this fall for days when they are not in school buildings.
As the Department of Education resumes in-person schooling this fall, most schools and sites will operate on a blended learning model. This will include some in-person services for a portion of the week and reduced class sizes in accordance with social distancing guidance.
As placements are available, families will be contacted by DOE.
Please note: programs will become available on a rolling basis through the start of school.
The NYC EAP invites you to celebrate Latinx/Hispanic Heritage Month.
This is a great time to honor and give recognition to all the contributions our Latinx/Hispanic Americans offer. In addition to paying tribute to this community, we also want to take this time to acknowledge the challenges and hardship that many in the Hispanic/Latinx community face. Please take some time to review the attached EAP takeaway and share with staff.
