What is going on at EBT?

Entrance Procedures

To help alleviate crowding at the entrance, we are sharing the following procedures:

1. Students will enter the building at Exit 2, on Grand Street between Bushwick Avenue and Waterbury Street. There is scaffolding up in front of the building that covers this exit; staff will be on hand to assist students in finding the door.

2. The school building is open at 7:30am. Students are served breakfast in the cafeteria.

3. All students must complete a health screening to enter the building. Please complete the screening online before arriving in the school: https://healthscreening.schools.nyc/ If you are not able to complete the screening online, we will have paper copies in the school.

4. Students who do not yet have an ID card will be provided one in the coming days. This should reduce wait time when they enter the building. Please be sure to bring your ID card with you every day.

Please make sure your children are wearing well-fitted masks that cover their mouths and noses. They must wear their masks for the entire day except when eating lunch. We strongly recommend students eat a good breakfast before arriving, so they have energy for a full day!

Covid Vaccination and Testing

The Department of Education encourages all students 12 and older to get vaccinated for Covid-19; we will have vaccines available at our school during the first week of classes. Parents must complete consent form for students to be vaccinated; the consent form is available here for printing.

Parents must provide consent for their children to be tested for Covid-19. This helps ensure that our community remains safe and healthy. You may give this consent using your NYC Schools account (NYCSA).

In response, you will receive a letter with full instructions on how to create the NYC Schools account, including a unique code that you will need.

Welcome back EBT Parents!!!

During the pandemic, our students had to adjust to a new way of learning. Now as they prepare to transition back to in person learning, the students will once more have to adjust. In efforts to help this transition period move smoothly the EBT Parent Association has arranged workshops to help parents be better equipped to support their students in this process. If you are interested in these workshops, please see this flyer (English version, or Spanish version) for more information.

In May, 2018, EBT was approved by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IB) to offer the IB Diploma Programme. According to the IB web site, students in this internationally recognized program will:

• be encouraged to think independently and drive their own learning

• take part in programs of education that can lead them to some of the highest ranking universities around the world

• become more culturally aware, through the development of a second language

• be able to engage with people in an increasingly globalized, rapidly changing world.
