Carta a las Familias: Cambio a Aprendizaje Remoto
Estimadas familias de P.S. 41,
A medida que entramos en los meses de invierno, queremos asegurarnos de que toda nuestra comunidad escolar esté completamente preparada en caso de que las Escuelas Públicas de la Ciudad de Nueva York anuncien un Cambio a Aprendizaje Remoto. Esto puede ocurrir debido a condiciones climáticas severas o una emergencia relacionada con el edificio.
Nuestro objetivo es mantener un día escolar ordenado, garantizar la seguridad de los estudiantes y asegurar que el aprendizaje continúe sin interrupciones.
Cómo se les notificará
En caso de un cambio a nivel del sistema, NYCPS notificará a las familias por correo electrónico, mensaje de texto y redes sociales.
P.S. 41 también enviará recordatorios adicionales a través de ClassDojo y correo electrónico.
Por favor síganos en todas nuestras plataformas para mantenerse informados:
- Sitio web de la escuela: www.ps41gunhillroad.org

Asegúrese de que su información de contacto esté actualizada en su cuenta NYCSA para recibir todas las alertas de forma puntual.
Dispositivos y preparación de inicio de sesión
Para asegurar el acceso a Google Classroom y la instrucción remota, cada estudiante debe tener un dispositivo funcionando en casa. NYCPS requiere que todos los estudiantes tengan dispositivos asignados en DeviceHub y los lleven a casa cuando sea necesario.
Antes de un posible día remoto, por favor confirme lo siguiente:
- Su hijo(a) tiene su dispositivo emitido por el DOE en casa.
- El dispositivo está completamente cargado.
- Su hijo(a) conoce su nombre de usuario y contraseña del DOE.
- Su hijo(a) puede iniciar sesión exitosamente en TeachHub, Google Classroom y Zoom/Meet.
Si su hijo(a) necesita ayuda con acceso al dispositivo, contraseñas o inicios de sesión:
- Contacte al maestro(a) de su hijo(a) por ClassDojo o Google Classroom.
- Si no tiene éxito, utilice el siguiente Enlace de Apoyo Técnico:

Código de acceso: 414141
Qué esperar en un día remoto
Si se anuncia un cambio, los estudiantes seguirán un horario modificado para permitir inicios de sesión escalonados y asegurar que los sistemas de la ciudad se mantengan estables durante la mañana.
El maestro(a) de su hijo(a) publicará el horario del día, el enlace de Google Meet y las tareas en Google Classroom al inicio del día escolar.
Por favor asegúrese de que su hijo(a) inicie sesión a la hora asignada:
Asistencia
La asistencia diaria se registrará durante la instrucción remota por medio de los inicios de sesión y la participación de los estudiantes.
Los estudiantes se consideran presentes cuando:
- Asisten a la sesión en vivo O
- Entregan el trabajo asignado O
- Participan en comunicación 1:1 documentada O
- Completan el paquete remoto.
Si su hijo(a) no puede iniciar sesión debido a problemas técnicos, informe al maestro(a) o a la oficina principal lo antes posible.
Apoyo para las familias
El aprendizaje remoto requiere una comunicación fuerte entre la escuela y el hogar. Si experimenta dificultades durante un día remoto—problemas tecnológicos, inquietudes con el horario u otros desafíos—por favor comuníquese de inmediato. Estamos aquí para apoyar a cada familia.
