Dear Parents,
The NYC Department of Education
works with the US Department of Education
and the National Student Clearinghouse to
provide information on high school graduates'
college performance. In order for the DOE to
collect data and information on FAFSA
completion and college enrollment from the
US Department of Education and the NSC
the DOE will be sharing names, addresses,
grade levels and dates of birth of students.
For the DOE to do this, federal law regarding
student privacy requires us to provide you
with notice and an opportunity for you to
instruct the DOE not to release information.
If you completed an Opt-Out form last year
concerning these designations, your opt-out
remains effective and there is no need to
resubmit this form.
Completed Opt-Out forms must be
returned to room 135 by
Wednesday, February 25, 2015.
Please see attached Opt-Out form.
Programming & Class Equalization
Midwood High School is a term school.
Students receive programs at the
beginning of each term.
Programming any school, but
especially one as large as
Midwood High School, is a challenging
task and typically results in the
need for program changes.
The need for changes can include errors,
oversights, and most importantly
the need to equalize class sizes
according to union rules.
By union contract all
schools have the first ten {10}
days of school each term to
finalize the equalization process.
Unfortunately this process often
leads to students receiving
program changes that they did
not request. While we recognize
the initial disruption that this
causes to students, it is necessary
and part of the mandatory process.
It is important that parents and students
understand that these changes may
occur randomly for any students during
the first 10 days of the semester.
We ask for your patience and
understanding during this process.
Midwood High School's programming
office cannot accommodate individual
students personal programming needs
i.e., before/after school responsibilities,
employment.
Each term parents and students
{at each grade level} must assume
that their school can start as early
as 1st period {7:15A.M.} and end as
late as 10th period {3:30P.M.}.
Summer Institute is for young women
in high school in New York City
and who can commit to a
full-time summer program.
The program is completely free
and students will receive a stipend
to help pay for the
subway and lunch.
Applications are accepted
on a rolling basis and strongly
encourage students to send
in the application as early as possible
spaces in the programs fill up quickly!

For the safety and well-being of your child it is imperative
that we have accurate biographical and emergency contact
information on file for both you and your child.
All changes of address, phone numbers, cell phone numbers,
guardianship and emergency contact persons must be reported
to your child’s guidance counselor.
According to the Chancellor’s Regulations, all changes of
address must be accompanied by a gas, electrical, or water bill.
A mortgage statement is acceptable as well. If you rent and do not
pay utilities, a notarized letter from your landlord is required.
Additionally, change of guardianship requires a notarized form which
is available at our school.
Sincerely,
Fern Bren
