Attention parents and guardians: on Wednesday, the school will host a morning workshop on “Think Central,” the website that allows teachers and students access to digital materials associated with school-related programs.
Ms. Teresi and Ms. Maier-Hopkins will be presenting the workshop, which is will take place in the main building library from 8:30am to about 9:30am. Light refreshments will be served. Please join us to learn more about your child’s educational tools and assets!
The Parents’ Association will host it’s first meeting of the year on JAN 18, 6:30-8:30pm to provide updates on the school reading kits, outcome of the coat drive, and to discuss the upcoming Multicultural World Festival on the calendar. Pizza and refreshments will be provided. Babysitting is available for parents who would like to attend. The meeting will be held in the Main Building auditorium. We look forward to seeing you in attendance!
Update: Due to the overwhelming success of the coat drive, we will have some gently used coats in a variety of sizes on hand for any parents who may have missed the coat swap.
The calendar has been updated with important dates for the remainder of the school year. Click on the Calendar link to see what’s upcoming next!
By order of the Dept of Ed., schools will resume classes Friday, January 5th. Please take extra caution when traveling to school. The roads have been shoveled and salted, but there is a wind chill advisory that will make the commute challenging. Please bundle up!
Also, as a reminder, please DO NOT DROP YOUR CHILDREN OFF BEFORE 7:50 AM! For safety reasons, the school is not allowed to admit students in prior to the scheduled time. 7:50 AM is the earliest students can gain access to the buildings. Thank you for your cooperation!
WEATHER ADVISORY: Due to expected severe weather conditions, all New York City public schools will be CLOSED Thursday, January 4, 2018. After-school programs, adult education, YABC programs, and PSAL activities are also cancelled.
Enjoy your day off, and we’ll see you on Friday!
And just like that, it’s the end of the year! We at the Parents’ Association would like to wish all our family and friends in the P.S. 99Q community a very happy holiday season! Schools are closed for Winter Recess next week. We will see you back on January 2nd!
We will be collecting new or gently used coats, vest, snow pants and boots for those in need. (Just those items, please.) No need to donate to participate!
Also looking for volunteers to help sort, organize and distribute. This is a great way to support our community! Contact Rachel Gosine for more info: 718-658-2102
