THE NEW YORK TIMES REMEMBERS MR. RICHARD GELLER
While Stuyvesant is located in one of the safest neighborhoods in NYC, students should still be vigilant about their safety.
Parents, please remind your students to:
- Travel in groups whenever possible to and from the subway
- Be alert to unusual happenings in their surrounding in and out of the school
- Do not walk with earphones that block out street noises
- Keep their music players, cell phones and other valuables out of sight
- Do not engage with strangers who approach them
- ALWAYS report incidents to the school administration right away
SPEAK OUT AGAINST BUDGET CUTS TO STUYVESANT & TO NYC'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS!
It is critically important that all parents contact their State and City Elected Officials in support of maintaining proper funding for our public schools despite the poor economy and NYS and NYC budget shortfalls. Education is the key to our economic recovery and our elected officials must stand firm and provide the responsible leadership needed to protect our school children against devastating cuts.
1. For more information on speaking out against the cuts, please click HERE.2. To print out a "clip-n-save" guide to learn who represents you and how to contact elected officials, please click HERE.
