    RABBI ARTHUR SCHNEIER PARK EAST DAY SCHOOL Parents and School Continued from cover wonderful bond between Park East Day School and its parents. Our Parent Association Board members continually meet and work toward our common goals. Events such as the Champagne & Sushi Social and Family Fun Day were festive and enjoyable occasions for families to come together and share more than simple, daily school routines. Special events create a school spirit, and desire to play a part in “the Park East Family.” Pathways WINTER 2014 | VOLUME 5 | 5774 Our beautiful new playground is a tribute to the outstanding work of our Parent Association, and its dedication to making this long-awaited addition to our school a reality. The gleeful faces of the children, in all grades, as they run out to recess onto the bright new space, mirror sheer delight every recess. The significance of having families that are devoted to our institution is invaluable. The presence of mothers and fathers, grandparents, extended family members, and our students, at specially planned events throughout the year, brings Park East to the forefront of city institutions- educational establishments that are so much more than simply places to learn New York State curriculum. We exemplify the essence of a large family that worships, learns, plays, and grows together. We are so very fortunate, and grateful to have the continued support of our amazing Parent Association, and look forward to all the wonderful contributions that this group affords the members of the Park East Day School I Rabbi Schneier’s Message: community all year long.

  • My Name Is Leonie Haimson
    This letter, written by Class Size Matters and Advocates for Children in Feb. 2004, protesting the Mayor’s proposal to hold back students on the basis of their test scores was signed by 107 eminent academics, researchers, and national experts on testing who say that such a policy is unfair and unreliable, and is likely to lead to lower achievement and higher drop out rates.1 The signers included four past presidents of the American Education Research Association, the nation’s premier organization of educational researchers, as well as the chair of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on the Appropriate Use of Educational Testing, and several members of the Board on Testing and Assessment of the National Research Council. Signers also included Dr. T. Berry Brazelton, renowned pediatrician and author of numerous works on child care and development, Robert Tobias, former head of Division of Assessment and Accountability for the Board of Education and now Director of the Center for Research on Teaching and Learning at NYU, and Dr. Ernest House, who did the independent evaluation of New York City’s failed “Gates” retention program in the 1980’s. Even the two companies that produce the third grade tests are on record that a decision to hold back a child should never be based upon test scores alone. February 11, 2004 Dear Mayor Bloomberg and Chancellor Klein: We ask that you reconsider and withdraw your proposal to retain 3rd grade students on the basis of test scores. All of the major educational research and testing organizations oppose using test results as the sole criterion for advancement or retention, since judging a particular student on the basis of a single exam is an inherently unreliable and an unfair measure of his or her actual level of achievement.

  • Stuyvesant High School Parents' Association
    Stuyvesant High School Parents' Association Executive Board of the Stuyvesant High School Parents’ Association December 2018 Statement Regarding Proposed Changes to New York City Specialized High School Admissions 1) An intense debate has been taking place since the referral to the floor of the New York State Legislature in June 2018 of a bill (A10427A/S08503-A)1 that would change the admissions process for New York City’s specialized high schools by amending the section of the New York State Education Law (§2590G, Subdivision 12) that is commonly referred to as the “Hecht-Calandra Act.”2 Under the proposed legislation, for which the stated purpose is increased diversity in the specialized high schools, the Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT) would be phased out entirely over a period of three years as the means of admitting applicants to the specialized high schools and would be replaced by an admissions process that would make offers to the top 7% of students from each New York City public middle school.3 2) The Executive Board of the Stuyvesant High School Parents’ Association recognizes and respects the strongly held opinions that accompany this debate on all sides of the discussion. We support the goal of expanded diversity at Stuyvesant and the other specialized high schools, including increasing Black and Latino/a enrollment. However, we oppose Bill A10427A/S08503-A as a means to accomplish that goal, based on concerns that have been raised as part of the public discussion. We support an admissions process for New York City’s specialized high schools that is fully objective and transparent, that ensures fair and equitable treatment of all New York City students, and that enables those schools to maintain the academic standards and successes that characterize them today.
