Due to recent increases in COVID-19 cases in New York City, the city is now at a COVID-19 high (orange) alert level. This means there is significant spread of COVID-19 in the city. Thank you, as always, for doing your part to keep our MS74 Community safe!
It is our sincere hope that the entire TEAM 74 family will embrace the many teachable moments and opportunities for learning that can hopefully bring about positive changes. In that spirit, we wanted to highlight some resources that may be helpful for families looking to continue this conversation with your children at home:
Parents - Please sign up for PupilPath if you have not already. MS74 uses PupilPath as a method of communication between teachers-staff-families AND it is a tool for parents-students to access the most up-to-date grade and attendance information.

TEAM 74 Supply List
Depending on grade/GS/courses, they may require the following additional items:
If needed, these additional items will be communicated by your teachers in September.
All teachers have been provided with 3-hole punchers and staplers—there is no need for students to carry these items in their bags.
The supplies listed above are minimum requirements. If students have systems that are working for them, they are under no obligations to change what’s working.
If any family is having difficulty securing these supplies for their child, please reach out to your child’s grade supervisor.
MS 74 Device Loan Program
Students at Nathaniel Hawthorne can accept a Chromebook or iPad from our school to use in class. The device will be handed out mid-September by your child's Homeroom Teacher. It is expected that students have access to a device for daily classwork. Students will not need to have a device for the first two (2) weeks of school. Families will be asked to complete a “Device Loan Agreement” that states the specific guidelines around accepting the device. The Loan Agreement will be handed out to students in Homeroom Class. These devices are for use in the building every day and can be used at home over all breaks (Including summer!)
Students have the option to refuse a school device and acknowledge the use of a personal device for class activities.
From the US Department of Education Press release,
"This year's cohort of honorees demonstrates what is possible when committed educators and school leaders create vibrant, welcoming, and affirming school cultures where rich teaching and learning can flourish," said Secretary Cardona. "I commend all our Blue Ribbon honorees for working to keep students healthy and safe while meeting their academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs. In the face of unprecedented circumstances, you found creative ways to engage, care for, protect, and teach our children. Blue Ribbon Schools have so much to offer and can serve as a model for other schools and communities so that we can truly build back better."
