You are cordially invited to join us for a Family Workshop on Building Your Child’s Home Library on Saturday, January 28th at 10:15 AM.  (Please view our flyer.)

Come have your family register for a FREE library card with our local librarian, Ms. O’Leary! Did you know this card doubles as a powerful culture pass to many of NYC’s best museums and sites?! Did you also know that your NYC students’ account has access to SORA – a FREE online library? Join us to learn about these resources to help you build up literacy at home! At the end of the event, every child will also be allowed to take home 10+ new or used books for FREE!

This workshop is free but space is limited to 25 families. (If it is popular, we will host a duplicate event in the future.) Online Registration is REQUIRED and opens tomorrow, Saturday the 14th here: tinyurl.com/yna386zh. One parent per family is required to attend with their child(ren). A light breakfast will be served.

Our books were generously sponsored by both the Brooklyn Book Bodega, whose mission is to increase the number of books homes for kids 0-18 in NYC, and by the Book Fairies of LI who sources and redistributes books to under-resourced communities on Long Island and New York City to provide equitable opportunities for children to learn, grow, and thrive. 

We hope you’ll be able to join us!

Please be prepared to show valid ID and proof of COVID vaccination upon entry to the building.

Soft Lockdown Drill

Please be advised we entered into a soft  lockdown DRILL today.

Please note the MAJOR difference this year in these drills is under normal circumstances, students move into a corner of the room where they cannot be seen from the window, however, due to Social Distancing guidelines, we are following all procedures EXCEPT students will remain at their desks to ensure safe distancing.

As per DOE requirements, we are to do 4 drills per year. I am happy to inform you that everything was very swift and everyone (staff and students) responded perfectly according to our protocol. Thank you to the staff and students.

READY, SET, GO!! COLLEGE and CAREER READINESS

Dear PS 101 Families: 

Time goes by very fast and thinking about your child’s future may start as early as primary school age. We recognize you want what is best for your child and their future. PS 101 wants the same hopes and dreams for your child. The NYCDOE has developed a new program for you to save for your child’s future. 

We will be hosting a parent/guardian ZOOM meeting in May to help you activate your account and walk you through this wonderful opportunity.

The NYC Kids RISE Save for College Program provides families, schools, and communities with a way to work together to save for and invest in their children’s futures. It is a scholarship and savings program designed to make college and career training more accessible for public school students. 

The NYC Scholarship Accounts for this year’s eligible kindergarteners will be ready to activate and view later this spring. At that time, parents and guardians will receive a Welcome Email and Welcome Kit from NYC Kids RISE with information on next steps. We look forward to working with new kindergarten families soon! Questions? Call the hotline at 833-543-7473.
