Protection for Immigrant Families
Posted in General
Dear families,
The federal government recently announced a rule change related to when certain immigrants might be considered a “public charge” under immigration law. Under this rule change, some immigrants may be prevented from obtaining legal permanent residence status (i.e., green card/permanent resident card) or a visa, if they receive certain public benefits or the federal government believes they are likely to depend on public benefits in the future.
The DOE is committed to keeping all students and families safe in our schools. Accessing school-based services—including educational services and supports, free breakfast or lunch, or school-based health clinics—does not put those seeking a green card/permanent legal resident card or a visa at risk of being considered a public charge. Receipt of Medicaid benefits by students under age 21 is also excluded from public charge consideration.
Please read this flyer (中文翻譯) from the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs (MOIA) with more information about the broader impact of public charge to you and your family members. For additional guidance and information, see the Supporting Immigrant Families page and the Immigration Letters InfoHub page.
We remain steadfast in our support of immigrant families across our City, and we thank you for your service in providing safe spaces for all of our children.
In unity,
Richard A. Carranza
Chancellor of the Department of Education
Beginning February 4, parents/guardians will be able to update their cell phone numbers in NYC Schools Account (NYCSA), under the Emergency Contact tab. DOE offices will use the contact information provided by families in NYCSA to communicate with families directly in the case of an emergencies.

Voter Registration for Teens

A new law allows 16- and 17-year-olds to preregister to vote. That means they will automatically be registered on their 18th birthdays.

GoFundMe for Lemelson-MIT InvenTeam
Posted in General
Dear Baruch Families,
We are thrilled to announce that after submitting our proposal, we have been granted $10,000 by the Lemelson-MIT foundation! With these funds, we are designing a sustainable washing machine which will be made accessible to homeless students at P.S. 188 where over half the students are homeless. This
is a huge honor and an even bigger responsibility. We now have about 8 months to build, test, and fix our machine. We will present our invention at the EurekaFest in D.C. this June– it’s a big deal! We would love your support in any way possible, whether it’s through donations, your expertise, your connections, or helping us spread the word. As it stands, the grant we received should cover most of the cost of building, but we still need additional funds to cover the cost of sending team members to DC in June.
Below is the link to our GoFundMe page. A donation of any size would be greatly appreciated. If you would like to give your time or expertise, please contact our advisors at forman.jocelyn@bcchsnyc.net and mistretta.michelle@bcchsnyc.net

Many thanks,
