PS 88Q Weekly Update
August 26, 2020
Ready , Set, Almost Ready to Go!
You received an email at your @nycstudent email on Monday, August 24th indicating which Cohort your child will be in. To receive the email, you must activate your student account. This email and this account is what you child will be using for their Google Classroom. This email will continue with your child for the duration of their time in the NYC school system. If you have not done so, please follow the steps below. Once you activate it, you can see all things related to your child. Also, you can join my Google Classroom. Your child will be attached in the coming days to their new Google Classroom as well with the nycstudent email. We will no longer be using the ps88q domain, as the DOE is supporting the nycstudent accounts.
