A Black woman publisher receives a historic award, while a Bronx high school implements a new program for select remote Fridays.

Students will be dismissed at 1 p.m. To take part in remote Fridays, students will have to bring in permission slips from their parents. Students whose parents opt out of remote learning will attend school in person on those days. History teacher Shivanie Ramnarine is excited about the plan because it allows her to connect with students in a different setting. “I get to see them at home,” she said. “I get to see a different side of them … that’s one of the things I missed about teaching during COVID, because I got to see the kids in a different light.’’ Principal Greg Fucheck hopes the school-based virtual program will improve school attendance and teacher recruitment and retention, especially for staff who have long commute
