We are very excited for PS 101’s Open School Week.

Open School Week is a chance for you to visit your child’s classroom, quietly sit in the back of the classroom and observe a lesson. We have specific designated times for you to visit from Tuesday, October 14th through Friday, October 17th. Open School Week is an opportunity to visit PS 101 while instruction is taking place.

In order for you to participate, please note the following rules:

  • There is a specific scheduled time for your visit by grade. There will be no exceptions or request changes to the assigned day of the week for your child’s grade.

  • To enter PS 101, please ensure you have valid ID to show our NYPD School Safety Agent for admittance.
  • Please do not interrupt or disturb the teaching and learning process. Students and teachers will be working in their classrooms as they normally do.

  • This is not a time to meet with your child’s teacher. You are there as a visitor to watch a lesson. Parent-teacher conferences are on Thursday, November 6th.
