Hello Maker community!
May was a wonderful month here at Maker with our beautiful Gotham Park Block Party, student-led workshops celebrating Asian American Pacific Islander month, and seniors committing to colleges and post secondary pathways followed by the senior trip to Philadelphia!
It is with mixed emotions that we welcome June; we have so many exciting things to celebrate and so much to do in so little time. Please check in with your children on their stress levels and upcoming milestones. They can totally do this!
Now is a particularly important time to check their grades on Jumprope and to reach out to their teachers to collaborate on how to finish the year strong with their best foot forward. Check out this newsletter for information about our upcoming Field Day, Senior events, end of year testing and test preparation as well as information for closing out the school year.
In partnership,
Amy

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THIS MONTH
Algebra Regents June 4th
Only students who are sitting for the exam will report to the school!
Field Day is Wednesday June 5th!
There will be a bouncy house! And games! And food! And a LGBT+ Pride parade! To attend, students need to have this permission form filled out by a guardian.
June 6th: Students DO NOT report to school in person/Remote simulation
All schools have been asked to reach out to families about a simulation of remote learning that New York City Public Schools (NYCPS) is conducting on Thursday, June 6, a professional development day for staff. The reason they are doing this is to make sure that the school system is ready for a “pivot to remote learning” day in case of severe weather or other emergencies.
This is a nonattendance day for students and you do not need to have your child participate in this; however you are welcome to volunteer to do this if you like.
During the simulation, students and teachers will log on to NYCPS systems from 8:45-9:15 to engage in a school feedback session with their advisors. Zoom links and survey links will be posted in ADVISORY Google classrooms.
We realize this will not work for many of you as you have made other plans for this day. Participation is completely voluntary for students.
Regents Exams Begin June 14th
Only students who are testing need to report to school during this schedule . No students report on June 17 or June 19.
Say goodbye to the 23-24 School Year!
The last day of school is Wednesday, June 26th, and students must report to school for attendance, to pick up their report cards, and empty out their lockers. We will be open from 9:00am to 1:00pm. Students who will attend Summer School should know by then that they need to report to Governors Island starting on July 10th.

Legacy Projects
Every year, seniors at Urban Assembly Maker Academy produce legacy projects: real world projects that drive change and impact in their neighborhoods, city, country, and world. This year, we are excited to showcase an incredible range of capstone projects on our Showcase Day: June 13th from 10am-1pm at The Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC) in the Richard Harris Terrace. We are excited to invite families, community members, and industry partners to provide feedback and to celebrate our seniors for their accomplishments. Please join us!
