  Did you know....

  The 2020 Worldwide Developer Population and Demographic Study, a report published twice a year, stated that the worldwide software developer population had reached over 24.5 million. Despite the pandemic slowing trends down, researchers predict the pre-pandemic rate to return within this year. The average salary for a general developer position in 2021 is expected to reach up to $138,000.

  Coding jobs have consistently high salaries, though salaries do vary based on the specific position. According to the BLS, computer programmers earned a median salary of $89,190 in 2020. Web developers earned a median of $77,200 per year, and software developers earned $110,140 per year. Professionals with mobile application development experience also earn high salaries, with staffing firm Robert Half reporting a median salary of $146,500.

• Extended Deadline for Families to Opt-out of Save for College Program

  To: All Kindergarten Families
  RE: Extended Deadline for Families to Opt-out of Save for College Program
  
  As part of his Juneteenth Economic Justice Plan, Mayor de Blasio announced the citywide expansion of the Save for College Program to all kindergarten students starting September 2021. In partnership with our nonprofit partner, NYC Kids RISE, this free program will provide incoming kindergarten students with NYC Scholarship Accounts including the first $100 credit into each account, opportunities to earn additional rewards and access to Community Scholarships, as well as supporting financial education and college and career readiness activities.
  
  Kindergarten families who do not wish to have their child’s data shared with NYC Kids RISE MUST OPT OUT of the Save for College Program; the deadline for families to opt out has been extended to December 31.
  
  You can opt out in two ways:
  1. Opt out in your NYC Schools Account ( quickest way)
  2. Send back a signed opt out form to your school
