NYS Guidance on Safeguarding Student Rights
Posted by Office of The Superintendent on Tuesday, Jan 28 at 6:09 PM in Hyde Park Central School District
Dear Hyde Park Central School District Community,
Our paramount responsibility as a school district is to educate and safeguard our students. We remain steadfast in our commitment to ensuring that the Hyde Park Central School District provides a safe and welcoming learning environment for all students, regardless of their background.
Last week, school districts across New York State received guidance from the State Education Department on NYS Safeguarding the Rights of Immigrant Students. I have shared this important information with our district and school leaders. This guidance reaffirms that “under New York State law, all children ages 5 to 21 who have not received a high school diploma are entitled to a free public education…School districts may not refuse admission based on national origin, immigration status, race, or language proficiency…”
Additionally, federal and state laws protect students’ personally identifiable information, which includes immigration status, citizenship, and national origin. This information may not be disclosed without parental/ guardian consent.
At the heart of our district's mission and vision are the values of inclusivity, compassion, empathy, respect, and pride. I sincerely thank all Hyde Park Central School District employees, students, and community members who contribute to cultivating a culture of appreciation and inclusivity.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s school principal. We will update the school community accordingly with any new guidance received. Thank you.
With Hyde Park Pride,
Estimada Comunidad del Distrito Escolar Central de Hyde Park,
Nuestra responsabilidad primordial como distrito escolar es educar y proteger a nuestros estudiantes. Permanecemos firmes en nuestro compromiso de garantizar que el Distrito Escolar Central de Hyde Park brinde un entorno de aprendizaje seguro y acogedor para todos los estudiantes, independientemente de sus antecedentes.
La semana pasada, los distritos escolares de todo el estado de Nueva York recibieron orientación del Departamento de Educación del Estado sobre la Salvaguardia de los Derechos de los Estudiantes Inmigrantes de NYS. He compartido esta importante información con nuestros líderes de distrito y escolares. Esta guía reafirma que "según la ley del estado de Nueva York, todos los niños de 5 a 21 años que no hayan recibido un diploma de escuela secundaria tienen derecho a una educación pública gratuita... Los distritos escolares no pueden negar la admisión basada en el origen nacional, el estado migratorio, la raza o el dominio del idioma..."
Además, las leyes federales y estatales protegen la información de identificación personal de los estudiantes, que incluye el estado migratorio, la ciudadanía y el origen nacional. Esta información no puede divulgarse sin el consentimiento de los padres/tutores.
En el corazón de la misión y visión de nuestro distrito se encuentran los valores de inclusión, compasión, empatía, respeto y orgullo. Agradezco sinceramente a todos los empleados, estudiantes y miembros de la comunidad del Distrito Escolar Central de Hyde Park que contribuyen a cultivar una cultura de aprecio e inclusión.
Si tiene alguna pregunta, no dude en comunicarse con el director de la escuela de su hijo. Actualizaremos a la comunidad escolar en consecuencia con cualquier nueva guía recibida. Gracias.
Con Orgullo de Hyde Park,
Superintendente de Escuelas
The Young Adult Support Group is aimed at addressing the challenges of the pandemic, independence, school, work, gender and sexuality, relationships, body image and food. This group is open to young adults ages 18-25 years old.
The Teen Girls Social Hour was created to help adolescent girls (ages 14-16 years old) find alternative ways of coping with today’s ever-changing social landscape. In this group, we will address mindfulness, creative outlets for emotions expression, coping skills, and social skills.
As a guardian, you can get email summaries about your student’s activity in Classroom. Email summaries do not include grades. For grades, ask your student or contact the teacher.
In email summaries, you can review:
Missing work—Work not turned in when the summary was sent.
Upcoming work—Work that’s due today and tomorrow (for daily emails) or that’s due in the upcoming week (for weekly emails).
Class activities—Announcements, assignments, and questions recently posted by teachers.
If there’s no activity to report or if a teacher turns off email notifications, you might not get an email summary.
You can get email summaries sent to any email address. However, to view or update email summary settings, you need a Google Account. With a Google Account, you can change the frequency of your emails, update your time zone, see the students connected to your account, and unsubscribe from email summaries. For details, go to Create a Google Account.
If you unsubscribe from email summaries, you’re still connected to a student as long as you have a Google Account. Otherwise, unsubscribing removes you as a guardian.
You can only get summaries if your student is using Classroom with a G Suite account, which looks like student_name@school.edu. If you’re not sure, ask the teacher or school administrator.
To get email summaries of your student’s work, you must accept an email invitation from a teacher or administrator. You have 120 days to accept an invitation before it expires. You can unsubscribe from summaries or remove yourself as a guardian at any time.
The teacher or administrator emails you an invitation to join your student’s class.
In your email program, open your email invitation.
Click Accept.
If you’re not the guardian, click I’m Not The Guardian.
Click Accept to confirm.
When you accept an invitation, you and your student get an email confirmation.
