Greetings PS101 families,
We are super excited to be deploying AI tutors for your children called Super Teacher. The idea is that every family can access unlimited private tutoring, especially in reading and math, any time of the day, and there is no cost at all to you!
Here is a video to learn more about Super Teacher.
To access Super Teacher:
Once you’re logged in with Clever, you have access to the full Super Teacher app. If you run into any issues or if you have any questions, you can contact the company at support@getsuperteacher.com.
We will have a training for parents (and teachers) in the next few weeks, but if you would like to start using it, go for it!

Dearest PS 101 Families,
Many of you may have followed the news yesterday evening regarding the 11-year-old girl who was hit by a bus and tragically lost her life. It is with the heaviest of hearts that I share with you that she was one of our former PS101 students.
We are beyond sad, and our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family.

Dear PS 101 Families,
Due to travel delays, the Echo Dance Team unfortunately has to reschedule their performance for our students to a later date in the spring. Therefore, we will be postponing our Respect for All student assembly that was originally scheduled for February 9th. We will announce the new date once it is confirmed.
In the meantime, our students still have the FUNdraiser for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society assembly on February 13th to look forward to!
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Dear PS 101 Families:
Today, Wednesday, February 4th, schools across New York City, including PS 101, will participate in our second Sustainability Climate Action Day of the year!
This citywide initiative encourages students to learn about and take action toward protecting our planet. Our focus for this Climate Action Day was ENERGY, understanding where our energy comes from, how it is used, and what we can do to conserve it in our school and community.
Throughout the day, students will engage in lessons and activities centered on energy conservation, including:
Together, we’re working to build awareness and develop sustainable habits that will benefit our environment today and for years to come.
Thank you for supporting our efforts at home by encouraging conversations with your child about how small actions, like turning off lights when not in use, unplugging devices, and being mindful of heating and cooling—can make a big difference.
Let’s continue to make PS 101 a model for sustainability and care for our planet!
Sincerely,
Gregg Korrol
