Please contact Rosmery directly if you are able to help. Mrs. Weinman Good morning Dr. Artzt and Naomi, Hope this email finds you in good health. I am looking for some QC college students (2-5) interested in doing field hours working with students Wednesdays from 1:30-2:30 and Fridays from 12:30 to 1:30. I am hoping to get volunteers' help with supporting the academic needs of students in a math elective class, which is for those who need to retake the Algebra Regents. Would you be able to forward this information to anyone you think might be interested in helping our students who are all ELLs. Last year's volunteers, Thomas and Jenny, were so helpful and instrumental. Anyone interested can reach out to me: Rosmery Milczewski R.milczewski(a)flushinginternational.org<mailto:R.milczewski@flushinginternational.org> Thank you very much and have a blessed day. Regards, Rosmery Milczewski Assistant Principal IA Flushing International H.S.

Reminder: Reply today if you have not yet done so and would like to help the children who are separated from their parents Seeking JRMF Facilitators! The Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival (JRMF) seeks facilitators for mathematical activities with immigrant children ages 5 to 17 who are separated from their parents. The candidates should have a working knowledge of high school mathematics and be comfortable working with children who are not fluent in English. A knowledge of Spanish is desirable but not required. Hours are generally 11:30 to 1:30 on Mondays and Wednesdays and occasionally on Fridays. The sessions occur in the financial district. Days are flexible, and consistency of attendance not necessary. An hour of training is required to begin. At least one additional two-hour session are requested over the semester to expand candidates’ problem portfolios. JRMF supports locally organized events that inspire K through 12 students to think critically and to explore the richness and beauty of mathematics through collaborative, creative problem-solving.

[Time2000_t20 0080] FW: Paid tutoring Opportunities in Queens
by Naomi Weinman 24 Oct '18

24 Oct '18

Good Morning, We are reaching out today to share some exciting opportunities for your students to engage with our company as we continue to make a difference in the lives of New York City's public school students. This year, we expanded our service offerings to our partner schools to include extended learning time programs (i.e. Saturday Academy and after school programs) and our intervention programs (i.e. small group tutoring during the day and college awareness). In a city where we have 1.1 million public school students and 1.3 million college students, it is embarrassing to have one of the largest achievement gaps. We understand the potential of college students to change educational outcomes for children - it's been a core part of our belief system since our organization was started eight years ago on a college campus. Now, we're working to mobilize one of our city's most underutilized assets (the intellectual capital of our college students) to change the narrative for low-income kids in NYC. We've partnered with almost a dozen schools across NYC to provide small group tutoring, Saturday, and college awareness support. All of our positions are paid, and we're looking to fill almost 30 slots by the end of this month. Students who work with us on multiple engagement will also be eligible for College Tuition Reimbursement. We hope you'll take a minute to forward this opportunity to your students. · Intensive Tutoring Interventionist<https://practicemakesperfect-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/Redirect?ukey=1K750…> (Located at MS 8 and MS 72) - $18 per hour · Saturday Academy Interventionist<https://practicemakesperfect-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/Redirect?ukey=1K750…> (Located at York Early College Academy) - $22 per hour Programs take place in the morning, during the day, after school, and on weekends. If there are students that you feel are particularly well-suited for these opportunities, please have them email me directly at pedro.rubiano(a)practicemakesperfect.org<mailto:pedro.rubiano@practicemakesperfect.org> for further consideration. If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to reach out. Best, Pedro Rubiano -- Pedro A. Rubiano Program Administrator Practice Makes Perfect 25 Broadway 12th Floor New York, NY 10004 Tel: 941-296-5946 PracticeMakesPerfect.org<http://practicemakesperfect.org/> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjRWg_ucn2s

Is cell phone insurance a good idea? What about auto or home insurance? How does FEMA decide if it's going to go in and rescue people in a disaster? Join Phil Dituri to play some games and learn some life lessons, all at the same time with materials taken from the FiCycle Curriculum. Seminar attendance is mandatory for all TIME 2000 students. Food vouchers will be available before the start of the seminar, 8:00am-8:30am. Please note that the cafeteria does not give change if you do not use the entire $6.50 on the voucher. If your meal comes to less than $6.50, consider grabbing a piece of fruit or snack bar for later in the day, or combining your order with a friend's order. Vouchers can be save and used any time of day during the semester when the food services are open. *The Patio Dining Hall is part of the Dining Hall/Cafeteria Building. It is at the end of the building closest to Kissena Blvd in the middle room.
