ICAHN CHARTER SCHOOLS REOPENING PLAN FOR SEPTEMBER 2020-2021

We hope all of our families are safe and well. We know that times like this can bring about uncertainties and we want to ensure all of our families that the Icahn Network, along with administration and staff, are working to ensure a smooth and safe return in September for all.

Update on the 2020-2021 School Year

Dear Parents/Guardians:

By this time, you are most probably aware that Mayor De Blasio stated that schools will be open in September. At the same time, President Trump has threatened to withhold money from schools. Our governor, correctly stated that he is the only one who has the authority to open schools, or close them.  Please be advised that my administrative team in the Network Office has been working throughout the period we were closed, to design several plans for September. This is a huge task. We must submit our plans to the NYS Education Department by July 31. Once our plans are approved, we will notify all parents. What is certain at this time, is that students will be in the actual school building approximately 2 weeks per month and have 2 weeks at home on the computer. Again, please be reminded that no child will be admitted to an Icahn school without a mask. The mask must be worn all day by children and staff while in the building. Thank you for your continued cooperation.
 

As always, thank you for your wonderful children.

Jeff Litt
Superintendent

In Loving Memory Of Daniel Garcia Deputy Superintendent

Big picture
 

With Profound Sorrow

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

It is with profound sorrow that I announce the passing of our beloved Deputy Superintendent, Daniel Garcia, on the afternoon of Thursday, June 4, 2020. “Danny” was very much loved by all those who were blessed to work with him. After a highly successful career as a teacher, AP and principal in district 8, I asked him to replace me as a principal of Icahn 1, as I began to design our new schools. After recognizing his great dedication and wisdom, I asked him to serve as Deputy Superintendent. Almost instantly, we became strong colleagues and friends We shared a vision of success for our students. We believed that for teachers to be successful, they must receive ongoing professional development, support and confidence.

 

Danny respected everyone and all those who came into contact with him, respected him. This is a tremendous loss for all of us. We must believe that his gentle smile, his encouragement and his wonderful nature will look down on all of us as we continue to serve and love. May G-d rest his soul.

 

Jeff Litt
