• Resources for Partial Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024

  The NYC area will experience a partial solar eclipse beginning at 2:00 p.m. on April 8. Please note that, except during the brief total phase of a total solar eclipse, when the moon completely blocks the sun, it is unsafe to look directly at the sun without specialized eye protection for solar viewing. Regular sunglasses, polarized or otherwise, are not a safe replacement for solar eclipse glasses. Additionally:

  • The eclipse will begin and occur shortly after 2:00 p.m., which may overlap with school dismissal. Note that there is no change to dismissal time; afterschool programming will remain in effect.
  • For additional resources on the solar eclipse, including instructional materials, refer to:
    • NYSED New York State Total Solar Eclipse; and
    • NYCPS Total Solar Eclipse.

• Yale Educator Award Winner!

  The Yale Office of Undergraduate Admissions has the distinct pleasure of recognizing the following educators as recipients of the 2023 Yale Educator Award. The Yale Educator Recognition Program recognizes outstanding educators from around the world who have supported and inspired their students to achieve at high levels. Matriculating students are invited to nominate high school educators, and a committee composed of Yale admissions officers reviews the nominations individually and designates recipients. Of this year’s 385 nominees, who represent 43 states and 28 countries, 80 teachers and 32 counselors were selected to receive the award. In September, the winners were sent engraved desk sets and congratulatory letters, and administrators of the high schools were notified of their achievement.

  The entire Yale Admissions Office credits the excellent quality of the Yale student body to educators like these, who shape their students long before they attend Yale, and would like to thank these and all educators for their ongoing efforts in motivating and supporting their students.

  Congratulations to ACLA's own, Ms. Nilka Acosta!!!!
