Greetings!
 
 
This will be my last weekly infomail of the school year, and thus my last official correspondence with you except for a notice when the June PA Bulletin comes out shortly.  I have truly enjoyed sharing school news and views with you, and helping many of you find the right source of the information that you needed in the vast world of Stuyvesant.  I have greatly appreciated the kind words that many of you sent my way during the course of the year, and I know that you will be well served by incoming corresponding secretary Barbara Reiser -- you'll be hearing from her in the fall and through next year.

REMINDERS
 
Do not call your child on their cell phone while they are at school!
 
Mr. Teitel and Ms. Damasek have asked us to remind you that the Chancellor's regulations strictly prohibit students from having cell phones in their possession in the school building.  Remind your child that, if they have a cell phone in the building, it must be kept out of sight and switched OFF (not just on "vibrate").  If you have a truly urgent message for your child, call the school office at 212-312-4800; school staff have the students' schedules and can locate a student if necessary.  Do not call your child's cell phone -- your call might get the student in trouble and lead to the confiscation of their cell phone.
 
 
New Web Site for NYC Grads
 
The Department of Education recently launched a new Web site, www.nycgrads.org, to help them stay in touch with graduates of New York City public schools. They say, "The site, created by The Fund for Public Schools, will help us build a community of alumni to make our schools stronger for the generations to come. If you're a graduate of a public school in New York City, or if you're graduating this year, please be sure to register. The first school to get 75 current seniors to sign up will win a $1,500 gift certificate to Staples. Every alumnus who signs up will receive a coupon to Modell's Sporting Goods and the chance to win a $200 Modell's gift certificate."
 
If you know of any Stuy parents who are not receiving this email, feel free to forward it to them or to let me know their name and email address.  Thanks!
