The following is important in order for you to be able to view your child’s report card:
Queridos padres y guardianes,
El Distrito Escolar de la Ciudad de New Rochelle está lanzando boletas de calificaciones electrónicas en todo el distrito para este año escolar. Los padres de estudiantes en los grados PreK, K, 1 y 2 usarán el Centro de acceso al hogar (HAC) para ver las boletas de calificaciones, en lugar de recibir copias impresas. Las boletas de calificaciones estarán disponibles a partir del 19 de junio de 2021 en el HAC.

American Library Association Announces 2021 Geisel Award and Caldecott Medal Recipients
At the end of January 2021, the American Library Association (ALA) announced its book and media awards, including the Geisel and Caldecott Awards. The Geisel Award is given annually to the author(s) and illustrator(s) of the most distinguished American book for beginning readers published in English in the United States during the preceding year, while the Caldecott Medal is awarded to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children.
The 2021 Geisel Award was given for See the Cat: Three Stories About a Dog. According to the ALA, it “…is a deceptively simple book that
teaches readers the power of words. The text is in direct contrast with the illustrations, defying both the reader’s and Max the Dog’s expectations. Surprises and twists keep readers engaged and cheering for Max as he tries to outwit the narrator.”
The 2021 Caldecott Medal was awarded for We Are Water Protectors. According to the ADA, “Michaela Goade’s vivid, swirling watercolors capture the sacredness of water and amplify Carole Lindstrom’s passionate call to action and celebration of Indigenous ancestry and community. Rich symbolism and repeating floral patterns appear alongside distinctive colors and atmospheric light to tenderly frame the defiant young protagonist standing up against the real-life horrors of the Dakota Access Pipeline.”
