An Important Message from the Chancellor
Preliminary Guidance On How AI Can Be Used In Our Schools
March 24, 2026
Dear Students, Families, Educators, Leaders, and Community Members,
As the Chancellor of NYC Public Schools (NYCPS), an educator for more than two decades, and an NYCPS parent, I believe our students deserve schools that are safe and academically strong. Today, that also means learning how to use artificial intelligence (AI) responsibly.
For our early learners, elementary, and middle school students, this means developing critical thinking and digital literacy skills. For our high school students, it means preparing for a world where AI is already shaping careers and entire industries. Across all ages, it means partnering with students, educators, leaders, and families to ensure AI is used safely, enhances student learning, and supports, not replaces, educators. AI is here, and our responsibility is to put strong systemwide safeguards in place, use it transparently and responsibly, and in an age-appropriate manner.
To move this work forward, we have released preliminary guidance on how AI can be used in our schools. This guidance aims to set clear expectations to protect our students, support educators, and keep families informed.
Your feedback matters—please share it as we continue this work. This spring, we will build on this guidance with a more comprehensive AI Playbook, shaped by community voices like yours.
Please visit schools.nyc.gov/AI (opens in a new window) to review the preliminary guidance and complete a short feedback survey. The survey will be open for 45 calendar days through May 8, 2026.
I know AI raises new questions for all of us. As we move forward, we will continue to listen, reflect, and make thoughtful adjustments while always keeping students’ safety and learning at the center.
If you have any questions regarding access to the feedback survey, please review the information available on schools.nyc.gov/AI. Thank you for partnering with us to help our students stay safe, learn, and grow.
In partnership,
Kamar H. Samuels Chancellor

Arrival and Dismissal
Dear P.S. 7 Families,
As we continue to establish routines that promote student safety, efficiency, and a positive start to each school day, please
review the updated arrival and dismissal procedures that will take effect Monday, September 14, 2026.
Morning Arrival Procedures
School doors will open at 7:45 AM each morning. This allows students time to eat breakfast, settle in, and prepare for
learning before the instructional day begins. The doors for grades k, 1, and 2 will close at 8:00 am. Therefore, you will have to
enter via the main entrance on Corlear Ave. Late students, after 8:00 am, will be given a late pass.
Please note the designated entrances for each grade:
• Kindergarten: Enter through the first door when entering the North Yard.
• Grades 1 and 2: Enter through the door across the North Yard.
• Grades 3, 4, and 5: Enter through the main entrance on Corlear Avenue.
All entry doors will be clearly labeled to assist families and students.
To be considered on time, students must be with their class when entering the classroom. We ask families to ensure
students arrive promptly each morning.
Afternoon Dismissal Procedures
Kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2 Students will be dismissed by class in the North Yard.
For safety reasons, parents and guardians are asked to remain in the designated waiting area and acknowledge the teacher
before their child is released.
Please remember:
• Anyone picking up your child must present valid identification.
• The person must be listed on your child’s Emergency Contact Card as an authorized pick-up person.
Grade 3 Students will be dismissed through the 232nd Street and Corlear Avenue exit.
Grades 4 and 5 Students will be dismissed through the main entrance on Corlear Avenue.
Students Walking Home Independently
If you would like your child to walk home without an adult, this authorization must be documented with the school. Families
must:
• Indicate permission on the student’s Emergency Contact Card, or
• Submit a signed letter to the school authorizing independent dismissal.
Students will not be permitted to walk home alone without written authorization on file.
Thank you for your partnership in helping us maintain a safe and orderly environment during arrival and dismissal. These
procedures are designed to ensure the safety of all students while creating a smooth transition into and out of the school
day. Should you have any questions, please contact the main office. Thank you for your continued support.
