We hope that you are all safe and healthy during this time.
The end of the year is quickly approaching, and students, teachers and families are shifting towards completing assignments, evaluating grades, and determining next steps towards academic success.
We know that this has been challenging, and thank you for your patience and perseverance as we all work together.
It is important as we come to the end of Marking Period 6 that students make every effort to submit assignments through their Google classrooms as soon as possible. In light of the present circumstances, submitting assignments electronically is the most effective means of returning work to get credit.
Students who are submitting packet work for grades must mail these completed items back to school so that we receive them no later than June 10, 2020.
Due to health and safety concerns, teachers continue to work remotely. Student packets sent to schools will be scanned and emailed to teachers for review to be counted towards final grades.
Packets received at the school later than Wednesday June 10, 2020 may not be processed in time to be reflected in Marking Period 6 grades.
Once again, we applaud everyone's strength and commitment during this time and look forward to a future where we can meet together in person once more.
Be safe, be well, and have a great day.Dear LICHS Students,

TODAY IS JUNETEENTH!
Dear L.I.C.,
We are taking the time out today to celebrate "Juneteenth" also known as "Freedom Day" or "Emancipation Day". Many, might not be aware of Juneteenth even though it occurred in 1863. Juneteenth is a day to celebrate the end of slavery in the United States. Especially this year with many of our current events, we think it is important to spread knowledge and unite.
The Emancipation Proclamation was issues on January 1, 1863 by President Lincoln. It took two and a half years for the news to travel to Galveston, Texas. On June 19, 1865 Union Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in Texas to spread the news that the Civil War has ended and the freedom of many enslaved African Americans.
The first state to make Juneteenth a holiday was Texas in 1980. New York just declared Juneteenth a holiday last week in the year 2020! As we make small changes and many are yet to come, let us take this time to celebrate.
Our students have been drowning in finals but they still made time to signify the importance of Black Live Matter. As we express ourselves, please enjoy the video and don't forget to join us later today! Long Island City High School would like to celebrate Juneteenth for the first time with you today at 3PM on Google Meet. Please see attached LICHS JUNETEENTH flyer for more details.
