The focus of at home learning resources in Prek for All and 3K from now until April 17th will be on enrichment. Parents can choose how and when to they want their child to participate in suggested activities. Teachers will not be providing live instruction nor will “assignments” be given. This is a time for families to focus on sharing fun activities, take virtual field trips, focus on health and wellness, and take time away from the pressures of the new remote learning world. We are providing a link to a PADLET ( https://archny.padlet.org/CKaralekas/i9u71qoa1yqi ) that offers suggestions for things that you may want to do with your Prek or 3K child. We will continue to add ideas all week. All are optional. Feel free to mix and match and repeat activities.

Resources for families
To keep children connected and able to participate in remote learning, the DOE is lending 300,000 internet-enabled iPads to students. Priority will be given to children most in need. All devices are granted on a temporary basis and will later need to be returned. There is a limit of one device per child. Families that wish to request a device should fill out the below Remote Learning Device Request form.
Additionally, your families may be eligible to receive a free at-home wi-fi service to support their child’s remote learning. Comcast is now offering free internet service for low-income families for 60 days for new qualifying customers. Families can visit https://www.internetessentials.com/ for more information. For your families with older children, households with K-12 students can get free Spectrum Wifi for 60 days (including free installation for new customers). Call 1-844-488-8395 for set up.
Finally, starting today, any child under 18 can receive free meals at one of 435 meal distribution sites across the City. To find a site, families should call 311 or text 'FOOD' or 'COMIDA' to 877-877.
