4-Year Charter Renewal

On March 2, 2020, the NYS Board of Regents voted to grant the Rosalyn Yalow Charter School a four-year charter renewal. In the past three years only four NYS charters have been awarded a four-year renewal, which is a strong vote of confidence in Yalow’s model and the progress we’ve made, growing from 210 to 510 students.

April 1 - Online Instruction Began

Two classroom teachers provide daily instruction over the Internet using Google Meet while school buildings remain closed. Students are expected to actively participate. To begin instruction, parents must log in daily by clicking the Google link provided for their child’s classroom. Teachers take attendance and call parents daily. Using videos, PowerPoints, and Google Docs teachers, continue Yalow’s normal curriculum, consisting of Core Knowledge Language Arts, Singapore math, science, chess, and fencing.

Yalow’s social worker supervisor provides daily online family support group sessions, as requested.

About the School

The Rosalyn Yalow Charter School is a K-8 grade school in District 9 of the Bronx, which opened September 1, 2015 with 211 K-1 students. Now in our fourth year, Yalow serves 437 K-4 students. It honors Nobel Laureate Rosalyn S. Yalow (1921-2011), a physicist and the second American woman to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine (1977). Dr. Yalow was a lifelong Bronx resident, raising two children there, where at the Bronx VA hospital she crafted her Nobel award-winning research in radioimmunoassay, a method initially used to measure insulin in the blood and expanded to cover many substances of biologic interest.

Our hope is that Dr. Yalow’s legacy will inspire a new generation of Bronx children to work hard at their education and strive for success.

First Day of School: August 31

If Governor Cuomo’s Executive Order closing schools is lifted, Rosalyn Yalow’s two campus buildings will reopen for instruction on Monday, August 31. Yellow buses will not be available the first week of school.
