I'm hopeful that students are looking forward to school and excited to be back. I've already met many of the incoming kindergarteners and their families, and they are looking forward to S-C-H-O-O-L. I'm also eager to finally meet in-person the students that I'd been working with remotely. I imagine it will be like meeting someone on TV :) My fear is that there will continue to be many disruptions to this coming school year, but consistency is ever more important now.

I fear that politics will continue to play games with the concerns, struggles, and fears that NYCDOE employees and families have about the Coronavirus/variants and how it will continue to impact the health, safety, and education of our children.  Too many fears to point out here.

My hope is that the students and all staff feel welcomed and supported emotionally as well as academically during this transition.

My fear is that others will continue to get sick I also fear the anxiety that undoubtedly many of us continue to face.

I am hopeful that the children will transition into routines smoothly and are motivated to begin meeting the challenges presented in class daily.  I am hoping the children and staff at PS 96 remain in good health as we all move back into in person learning.
My fears are that since numbers of positive cases are high I am anxious about staff and students becoming sick with the virus.

My hopes for this year is that the students come in and feel that it is a safe learning environment and that they excel in their studies and that the school year doesn't have  interruptions. My fear is that students that haven't been in school for over a year are anxious and struggle to acclimate to school.

For this upcoming year I hope that parents and teachers walk hand in hand with their child's education...  that everyone will take into account each child's academic and emotional state. .. I hope that we all understand that this is process... We need to focus on the process more than the end product.
I fear that as we get into the year we forget the implications of what we went through for the past 18 months, that teachers and students are all impacted by what has happened in our homes and country.

For the new school year, I am trying to put all fears aside and focus on the hopes and successes for the upcoming kindergarten students. Fully supporting every student academically and socially. Also striving to build strong parent-teacher relationships this year---positive attitudes and good communication. *Also wishing all staff a successful school year!! {Ms. Douglas}

My hope is that the students will be excited to see their school setting, peers and teachers in person for the first time. My fear surrounds adhering to social distancing procedures and adjusting to a new learning environment.

I am hopeful about our children returning to school with excitement and motivated attitude to do well academically. I am also hopeful  that they will receive the support needed to re-establish connections with their teachers and peers (especially). I am only fearful of the politics surrounding the Covid directives and how this will continue to “attempt” to impact our children.

One of my hopes is that students are excited about returning to school and are able to readjust to being in a classroom setting. Learning at home is very different from learning in a physical classroom.
A fear that I have is being able to close the achievement gap that Covid has left us with. The reality is that some students weren't able to put their all into their work due to the many distractions that were at home, or the lack of support.
