FIAO After School Programs
Dear Parents,
My name is Jasmine Ali, and I am the new Director of the FIAO/SONYC After School Program at The SEEALL Academy, PS/IS 180. I am excited to have the opportunity to work with all the middle school students (Grades 6-8) during this enrichment program.
I am the previous director of the FIAO/SONYC After School Program at Brooklyn Studio. I am also a student alumnus of the fourth middle school graduating class of the SEEALL Academy. I am eager to work with your students and get engrossed back into the SEEALL family. This program is meant for the enrichment benefit of the students in grades 6-8 and I am looking forward to new creative ways to engage with the interests of the community. I am also excited to incorporate special diversified enrichment activities that are of most of the students’ educational benefit as well as their enjoyment.
I wanted to provide you with more information regarding the activities currently conducted through the duration of program. The program will continue to take place Monday-Friday from 3:00-6:00pm. Dismissal will begin 5:45pm for pick-ups only. The person picking up the student must provide a valid photo ID and sign the student out. Walkers are to sign themselves out. If a student must leave earlier than regular dismissal time, a written note must be given to the homeroom teacher at the beginning of the day and handed to the Director.
Various enrichments will occur daily. The schedule will encompass homework help, including math tutoring for each grade once a week with one of our fellow teachers. In addition, it will involve enrichment activities like Theatre, Sports (daily), Creative Arts, Social Emotional Learning, and Spanish which involve long-term ongoing environmental projects, and the 180 Newsletter will be released monthly on the school website.
Students will be provided with a school snack; however, they are welcome to bring their own snack. Snack time will be conducted at the beginning of the program.
All students received the code of conduct in the student contract and had both parent/guardians and student sign. The program calendar will be listed on the school website for your reference.
This program is meant to embody educational fun for all students’ enjoyment. We are here to service them, their families, and provide a safe, caring, and nurturing environment for whatever they need.
As the new FIAO/SONYC After School, I look forward to working with your students and servicing the SEEALL Academy community.
Please feel free to contact myself, Jasmine Ali, Program Director with any questions or concerns by email at j.ali@fiaobrooklyn.org or by phone at (718) 851-8070 ext. 1000 or 1451. I am also reachable during afterschool hours 3-6pm.
Kind regards,
