Images: New York City Marks Inaugural School Day
In New York City, the school year for public and private schools began this week, with some schools starting earlier than the official first day. However, a search for schools starting classes before September 4 yielded no results, according to available sources.
One such school that started early was St. Francis Prep in Fresh Meadows, Queens, which began the school year on September 3.
Meanwhile, in Brooklyn, Governor Kathy Hochul paid a visit to The Magnet School for Multimedia, Technology, and Urban Planning this week. The visit took place as students returned to school in New York City.
During her visit, Governor Hochul introduced Frankie Focus, the state's new phone-free mascot, and assisted in handing out pouches for phones to be stored in throughout the school day. The school cellphone ban is a new policy for the 2022-2023 school year at The Magnet School for Multimedia, Technology, and Urban Planning.
Governor Hochul talked about the school cellphone ban during her visit, emphasising the importance of focusing on learning and fostering a distraction-free environment for students.
The Magnet School for Multimedia, Technology, and Urban Planning is a public school located in Brooklyn, and the school's principal welcomed the governor, expressing gratitude for her visit and support for the new policy.
In addition to The Magnet School for Multimedia, Technology, and Urban Planning, Zeta Queens Jamaica Elementary School also celebrated its grand opening on September 2, marking the start of the school year for some schools earlier than the official first day.
Despite the early start for some schools, a search for schools starting classes before September 4 did not yield any specific results based on the provided sources. Nevertheless, the start of the school year in New York City is underway, and schools are implementing new policies to create a productive and focused learning environment for their students.
