We’re excited to announce that our Fall 2026Scholastic Book Fair will be held at PS 101 from October 13 to October 20, 2026!
As part of the New York State Next Generation Learning Standards, all students are encouraged to read books at their appropriate reading level to build fluency and comprehension. The Book Fair is a great opportunity for students to purchase books for both personal enjoyment and educational assignments.
📚Reading is one of the most important skills you can help nurture in your child. Books are affordably priced, with some starting at just $4.00 plus tax.
📌Important Notes:
Sales tax will be applied to all purchases, in accordance with New York State regulations.
No pennies will be used or accepted to make checkout easier and avoid lost or heavy change. All amounts will be rounded up, and the extra pennies collected will go toward future school events.

Traffic Safety presentations will be scheduled throughout the school year for students in Kindergarten through Grade 5 as follows:
October: Grades 4 and 5
January: Grades 2 and 3
April: Kindergarten and Grade 1
We are grateful for our continued partnership with the NYCDOT in helping our students build safe habits that will benefit them both in and outside of school.
Working together, we can help our children make safe choices every day and build lifelong habits that keep them safe in our community. Thank you for your continued support.
