Well Done, 99!

WellDone99Congratulations PS 99! State officials have recognized our school as one of the 277 New York City schools that are among the highest achieving in the state under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)! The ESSA is a federal law that gives states more flexibility in determining how to better improve school performance by emphasizing student growth. This gives schools a more holistic approach to assessing, identifying, and incorporating approaches that boost performance. Well done, Principal Foglio, teachers, and students! What a way to end the year!

PS 99 hosts educators from Chile

ChileVisit

Last month, a group of educators from Chile visited 99 to learn about the opportunities and challenges of teaching a diverse student population. Principal Foglio hosted the international visitors who were interested in improving public education in their country, and provided best practices to the education leaders.  The group visited classrooms and observed instruction in both buildings, and were treated to excerpts from Peter Pan. They left with great insight to achieve tangible outcomes for the schools in their community. We’re so proud that our school was tapped to be a part of their learning experience!
