  • Remote Instruction Day Guidance 11/3

    Hello IS201 Community,

    We are expected to go remote tomorrow Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026 for Election Day. To prepare for this remote day, we recommend the following:

    1. Ensure students have working devices (iPads, Laptops, etc.) and chargers to be able to login for their classes for the day.

    2. Test logging into Google Classroom/School Accounts using usernames and passwords.

    3. Check your child’s schedule alongside them to ensure they are aware of their classes for the day, and have access to all the Google Classrooms for those periods.

    The school day will remain at the normal time for tomorrow between 8:00AM - 2:20PM and follow their schedule with some changes. Please note that as per the DOE, tomorrow is expected to be a blend of synchronous instruction (live) and asynchronous/independent work (not live). Students do not need to remain online for the entirety of the school day. Teachers will initiate each period and provide instruction that is synchronous and asynchronous as part of a balanced instructional program. Please review the schedule below:

    AM HOMEROOM (8:00AM - 8:15AM) - Students login to iPads/Laptops for the day, and prepare for remote instruction on Google Classroom. 6th grade will login at 8:05AM, 7th grade will login at 8:10AM, and 8th grade will login at 8:15AM to their first period class.

    PERIOD 1 (8:15AM - 9:00AM) - Students login live for their first period class, and attendance is taken.

    PERIOD 2 (9:00AM - 9:45AM) - Students login live for their second period class, and attendance is taken.

    PERIOD 3 (9:45AM - 10:30AM) - Students login live for their third period class, and attendance is taken.

    PERIOD 4 (10:30AM - 11:15AM) - Students login live for their fourth period class, and attendance is taken OR students take lunch that period only if their schedule designates that time as their lunch period.

    PERIOD 5 (11:15AM - 12:00PM) - Students login live for their fifth period class, and attendance is taken OR students take lunch that period only if their schedule designates that time as their lunch period.

    PERIOD 6 (12:00PM - 12:45PM) - Students login live for their sixth period class, and attendance is taken OR students take lunch that period only if their schedule designates that time as their lunch period.

    PERIOD 7 (12:45PM - 1:30PM) - Students login live for their seventh period class, and attendance is taken OR students take lunch that period only if their schedule designates that time as their lunch period.

    PERIOD 8 (1:30PM - 2:15PM) - Students login live for their eighth period class, and attendance is taken.

    PM HOMEROOM (2:15PM - 2:20PM) - Students review assignments from the day, and ensure everything has been submitted.

    For any issues with technology, logging in, etc. please reach out to either Mr. Iallonardo, our Tech Specialist (aiallonardo@schools.nyc.gov) or the parent coordinator Mr. Kuang at (jlikuang@schools.nyc.gov) who will direct your question to the correct channel.

Our Mission Statement

At The Madeleine Brennan School, we prioritize each individual student.  We believe a focus on academic success and social emotional well-being is paramount to a child's future.  To accomplish this feat, concentration on best practices through data-driven instruction is at the forefront of discussion in all of our Professional Learning Communities.  In order to support a student’s academic success, we create and place emphasis on specifically designed instruction.  Community building and development of safe spaces allows students and staff to come together as one cohesive unit in which to communicate and discuss key issues covering a myriad of academic and social issues.  At The Madeleine Brennan School, we want our students to understand how they learn best in order to self-advocate, becoming active stakeholders in their education.
