We are proud to announce that we have been named a Recognition School by New York State as a top performing school. The State evaluated every school in the entire state of New York, including Upstate, Long Island, etc. and only 267 NYC DoE schools received this prestigious honor. To be considered top-performing, we demonstrated high academic achievement coupled with substantial progress for the 2018-2019 school year. All members of our community, including our school staff, students and parents/guardians, were a contributing factor in achieving this recognition. Congratulations to our families, staff and administration, we earned the accolades together!
Sugar is IS 7's very own adorable Comfort Dog. As many of you already know, IS 7 is part of the NYC DOE Office of Safety and Youth Development Comfort Dog Program. The 2022-2023 school year is Sugar's sixth year here at IS 7. Although Covid has made our time with Sugar in the building a little difficult the past few years, she is always eager to get back into the swing of things.
Sugar just turned 7 years old on September 10, 2022, and she is a lovable terrier mix breed. She keeps busy going on long walks, playing with her favorite toys, and practicing some "tricks" for delicious treats. She can’t wait to be back and meet you all soon!
