The 2023 Emoti-Con NYC Youth Digital Media & Tech Challenge 🏆
Three teams from our Design League have been chosen to move on to the city-wide fair which features students from around the city in grades 6-12. The projects focus on problems in the community and our three projects focus on Mental Health and Pollution. Judges from various tech companies will be evaluating all of the projects for the next week. Projects are competing in five categories:
-Most Social Impact
-Most Innovative
-Point of View
-Most Entertaining
-Best Pitch
Members of the community are invited to visit the website and leave feedback on the projects. Please feel free to leave comments and words of encouragement for our students! Using the links below, you can access each entry and vote.

8th Grade Banquet news
- Our Senior Banquet will be held on Wednesday, June 7 at the Hilton Garden Inn from 5:30 PM until 9:30 PM. Students who are attending must be in school on this day. Students who are absent from school on June 7 will not be permitted to attend the Senior Banquet.
- Parents or guardians of students who plan to attend the banquet and wish to sign their child out of school early on June 7 may do so after 10:40AM. If your intention is to have your child dismissed early on this day, this Early Release Google Form must be completed, no later than June 5. (Note: you will be required to sign in with your email address to access the form).
- Please expect a longer wait time if you intend to sign out your child between 10:40AM and 11:40AM, as this time historically represents the “mass exodus” of early releases. Your patience during this time is appreciated.
- These measures are in place to ensure the safety of all students, to release students in an organized and efficient manner, and to facilitate a minimally disruptive learning environment for our remaining students. If you have any questions, please reach out to our parent coordinator, Ms Taccetta, via email or at extension 1111.
8th Grade Senior Dues & Updates
Senior dues are still being accepted.
- Please also note that students who fail to meet 8th grade promotional criteria are not permitted to take part in our 8th grade commencement ceremony on June 22 at 10:00AM at CSI. This consequence is outlined in the NYCDOE Chancellor’s Regulations.
- Each student will receive two tickets per family for Graduation. Beginning June 1st, if you wish to receive additional tickets, a written request to the attention of our parent coordinator, Ms. Taccetta, including the number of additional tickets needed (2 maximum) and the reason for the request, must be submitted. All written requests will be honored based on need and in the order they are received. As this year’s graduating class is sizable, please note that only 1 additional ticket will likely be granted in most cases. Please plan accordingly.
If you have any questions concerning the dues or activities planned, please reach out to our senior events coordinators via email, Ms. LaRocca (alarocca6@schools.nyc.gov) or Ms. Boshnack (mboshnack@schools.nyc.gov)

IS75 Blood Drive
Attention 7th Grade Parents & Guardians!
We are excited to announce the return of the overnight 8th grade trips to Boston and Washington DC. Each year, the 8th graders have the incredible opportunity to attend a fall overnight trip and a spring overnight trip. To be eligible for the spring trip, 8th graders must have all Es in conduct for the first two marking periods; students submit their 8th grade report cards as one part of the application process. Since the fall trip is early in the school year, in order for students to apply (when they are in the 8th grade), they must have all Es in conduct in their final marking period of 7th grade. When your child is in the 8th grade and it is time to apply for the fall trip, your child will need to show a copy of his/her 7th grade final report card. Because this is an out-of-state, overnight trip, only students with exemplary behavior will be eligible. The final marking period has just begun, giving your child something exciting to work towards and to look forward to in the next school year!
