Borrowed Devices from ESMS and DOE
Students who borrowed Chromebooks from ESMS during remote learning should please return them at this time. If devices are needed at home in the fall, we will reissue them. If your child borrowed a computer, iPad or hotspot from the Dept of Education, they may hold onto it for the coming school year UNLESS they are leaving the NYC public school system. If you are moving or switching to a non DOE school (including Hunter), we will need your device (s) returned to ESMS. Over the summer, Beth will often be in the school office and can receive the devices if you are unable to make the return before school ends. Please email:

Operoo - Digital Forms in Any Language

The PTA is proud to help support the school's use of a new data service called Operoo, which will allow you to read school correspondence in any language you select and to complete many school forms on your phone, tablet or computer. This week, Operoo will send you an email, asking you to set up your profile and fill out some initial forms like:
Later in the year, you'll be able to submit field trip permission slips, graduation materials and more. We hope it will help eliminate redundancy and make it easier to complete school and city form requirements.

Safety Cell Phone Database
Are you entered in our Safety Cell Phone Database?
Are you entered in our internal database of student and parent cell phone numbers? We program cell numbers into the School Messenger system in order to be able to send important text messages to kids and/or parents if needed. (For example, if there is a safety event at our school while students are out for lunch or right before school starts, we would like the ability to immediately send them instructions.)
Enter cell phone information for the student and at least one parent or guardian. THIS APPLIES TO ALL FAMILIES GRADES 6-8, even if you submitted last year.
Nothing you submit through this link impacts your child's information elsewhere (not in the DOE's main database or on your child's blue card), and it will not be shared or used for purposes other than urgent notifications. Enter your numbers today!

ESMS is collaborating with Making Caring Common, a project of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, to build a more caring, inclusive school community where students feel safe, supported, and connected.

We will also have access to research-based strategies and insights from leaders in the field of education to promote safety, caring, and respect. You can learn more about MCC’s Caring Schools Network at https://mcc.gse.harvard.edu/caring-schools.
