Each year from September 15 to October 15, we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. During Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor the countless contributions that Hispanic Americans have made to our nation, and especially to New York City, over the years. We also take this time to recognize the trailblazing individuals who fought for progress and equity for their communities. Check out these resources and events.
In early October 2025, LTE data service will be activated on NYCPS-owned LTE-capable devices. This service, provided through a mayoral initiative, will help ensure students have reliable internet access outside the classroom. For most students, this service will be turned on automatically with no assistance required from Booker T. technology support. We will announce when this service becomes effective so that students can check their devices to see that the LTE feature is active. Some devices may need to be swapped.
