Parent Letter Regarding Glass in School
Glass Bottles – Parent Letter 2018
October 3, 2018
Dear PS 101 Families:
Please be advised to ensure the safety of our students and staff, do not send your child to school with glass containers for drinking purposes or supplies. Glass containers of any kind should not be brought on school grounds. As a safety risk, we are asking for full cooperation to prevent any accidents or unnecessary harm. Any glass containing water, juice or hand-sanitizer in a glass bottle comprises student safety and we discard any of these items if observed in the classroom.
We care about our students and we need your help to ensure only plastic bottles, jars or containers are sent in for drinking purposes, health, hygiene or crafts.
Any questions, kindly contact our Parent coordinator, Ms. Margaret Lloyd at 1-347-563-4860.

BRT – Soft-Lockdown Drill – October 5, 2018
B R T DRILL DATE – OCTOBER 5, 2018
October 1, 2018
Dear Parents/Guardians:
Please be advised we will be holding a Building Response Team drill on Friday, October 5, 2018. The soft-lockdown drill will consist of students and staff understanding the command code for our General Response Protocol. Students are to follow teacher directions for a mock emergency in the building. Students will remain silent and quickly move out of sight and away from the door in the classroom. Teaching staff are trained to quickly retrieve any students in the hallway and lock their classroom door and wait for an ALL CLEAR announcement.
Again, this is a drill and we want students and staff to become familiar with the drills so we are prepared in case of a real emergency situation. Please review lockdown procedures with your child. Thank you for your cooperation in advance to ensure a safe learning environment for all.
Very Truly Yours,
Gregg Korrol, Principal
