We invite you to our Curriculum Night on Thursday, 9/18/25 from 5-8:00 pm! You will have an opportunity to follow your child’s schedule, meet their teachers and learn about instructors' expectations, policies, procedures as well as the curriculum for the school year. This is a general meet and greet with your child’s teacher. If you have specific questions about your child - please email the teacher to contact you separately. Emails can be found on our website.
Flow of the evening: Class designations are listed at the top of each schedule - please follow your child’s schedule. Each class & teacher has their Zoom meetings linked - you can access their meeting by clicking their name(s). Please follow the times listed on the left hand side. Every session is 20 minutes long beginning at 5:00 pm with 3 minutes of transition to the next zoom built in. On the days your child has different classes, such as talent & PE, either choose one or visit both for a short period of time. For talent - only attend your child’s specific talent class. This can be found on their schedules on NYCSA & Teachhub.
“Break”: If you have a “break” listed on your child’s schedule - that is either a lunch period or additional periods with a teacher you will already visit throughout the evening. You can utilize this time to either have a break between sessions or visit with a member of the student support team. Please be advised the student support team meets with families in a 1:1 setting as the conversations are personal to their situations, so you may be put into a waiting room until your turn.

Find 2024 Yonder Adoption.pdf to learn about Yondr.
Dear Sage Families,
We will be making our school a phone-free space to improve teaching and learning using a system called Yondr beginning February 26th. Yondr has been implemented in over 2,000 schools across 16 countries to facilitate an engaged learning environment.
We believe that phones have great utility. We have also found that learning and social behavior improve drastically when students are fully engaged with their teachers and classmates.
The Yondr Program utilizes a simple, secure pouch that stores a phone. Every student will secure their phone in a personally assigned Yondr pouch when they arrive at school. Students will maintain possession of their phones and will not use them until their pouches are opened at the end of the school day. Students are required to bring their Yondr pouch to and from school each day and are responsible for their pouch at all times.
We received responses to our annual surveys from over 1,200 school partners, and after implementing the Yondr Education Program:
Of our most recent impact survey of over 370 of our school partners:

If there is an emergency and you would like to get in contact with your child, please reach out to our Main Office at 718-830-4970 ext.0.
In an effort to best serve your child, we appreciate your full support in adoption of the Yondr Program at our school.
