Hi 5th - 8th grade families!

This schedule is meant to mirror some of the structures that your scholar’s experiences during a normal day at CIPMS. We encourage you to add times for breaks and free time!
We miss you and can’t wait to see you in April! - The CIP Middle School Team

End of the Day! Scholar Reflection: How did you grow your brain today?
NEW YORK CITY NEEDS YOU TO GET COUNTED! What is the census? The census counts every person living in the United States.
It only happens every ten years.
Hundreds of billions in federal funds for public education, healthcare, afordable housing, infrastructure, and more.
The census determines: The number of seats New York has in Congress.
How we make important decisions about local policy, emergency services, transportation, healthcare, and more, based on accurate data.
THE CENSUS IMPACTS OUR FAIR SHARE OF HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS FOR:
The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), education and afterschool programs, including for children with special needs and those in low-income households.
Adult education, job training programs, including priority services for veterans, foreign- born, disabled, and justice-involved New Yorkers.
Senior center upgrades and programming, including meals.
Afordable housing assistance (Section 8), maintenance, repairs and improvements.
That’s why we need all New Yorkers to get counted.
When you respond to the census, you shape the future of our communities.
In 2010, only 62% of New Yorkers self-responded to the census, way below the 76% national average
If more New Yorkers respond in 2020, we would see more money for our schools, for healthcare, and for the programs and services we rely on every day. What does the census ask?
How many people are living or staying at your home Their sex, age, race, and ethnicity Whether your home is owned or rented Your home address
The 2020 Census does NOT ask about:
Immigration or citizenship status Income Social Security Number
Your information is safe! All responses are confdential, protected by law, and cannot be used against you in any way. By law, the Census Bureau cannot share any personal information with other government agencies, including law enforcement. 13 Penalties for breaking this law include up to fve years in prison and $250,000 in fnes.
How is New York City preparing for the census? In 2019, the de Blasio Administration launched NYC Census 2020, a frst-of-its-kind census organizing initiative to ensure a complete and accurate count of all New Yorkers in the 2020 Census. This program features: The NYC Complete Count Fund, alongside the City Council and the City University of New York, invested $19 million in census education and mobilization through the community- based organizations that New Yorkers know and trust Agency partnerships that will tap into the power of the City’s 350,000-strong workforce and the city’s major institutions, including libraries, hospitals, and faith-based, cultural, and higher educational institutions A city-led “Get Out the Count” feld and marketing campaign. Volunteer in your neighborhood: nyc.gov/census When does the census start? MARCH 12, 2020 my2020census.gov MARCH For the frst time, you will be able to complete the census online, by mail, or by phone, in multiple languages.
Check your mailbox for information from the Census Bureau on how to fll out the form.
Every NYC public library branch and many trusted community-based organizations will also provide Learn more: assistance in flling out the form. nyc.gov/census en_08
