It’s Time to #ShowYourSchoolworkNYC

As blended and remote learning continues across New York City throughout the 2020–21 school year, City public school students are completing their school assignments with outstanding work worthy of any school bulletin board. In celebration of our students’ efforts this year, we’re inviting City public school students, teachers, and families to participate in our yearlong “Show Your Schoolwork” series—let us know what great schoolwork you’ve finished (or helped finish) this school year, and send us pictures or video about the work by completing our online “Show Your Schoolwork NYC” intake form!
