Dear Senior Parents & Guardians:

It is with great pleasure that the PTA announces this year’s Senior Trip!

We are bringing the Senior Class of 2019 to Dave & Buster’s Staten Island on May 15^th, 2019. We will be departing school at 8:30 am (DO NOT be late, as you will miss the bus!) The day will be full of activities (such as arcade games) from 10:00 am -1:00 pm, with lunch served in a designated dining area.  Each child will get a Dave & Buster’s Power Card with credit toward unlimited games for the day.

Food will be served buffet style with choice of food that includes: *NO OUTSIDE FOOD OR BEVERAGES ARE PERMITTED*

• Mini burgers with Hawaiian roll
• Four cheese pizza bites
• Crispy Chicken bites
• Baked Mac & Cheese
• French Fries
• Unlimited soda

COST:

The cost for the trip is $30 per child. ONLY CASH PAYMENTS or bank checks/money orders made payable to PS 101 PTA will be accepted. No personal checks. ALL money must be in NO LATER THAN April 18^th, 2019. Please note we cannot accept payment after that date.  Please return the bottom slip with full price in a sealed envelope clearly marked – ‘Senior Trip’ with your child’s name and class.

CHAPERONES:

Three parent chaperones per class will be permitted. If you are interested, kindly submit a letter of request

to your child’s teacher before April 15^th. Your child’s classroom teacher will reply informing you

whether or not you have been selected to accompany the class. If you are selected to attend, the fee will be

$30 as well and will include the same itinerary/menu your child is entitled to.

DISMISSAL:

We are expected to return for 2:20 pm but with traffic concerns from Staten Island, we may not be on time. We will use the REMIND or CLASS MESSENGER app to notify you if we are running late on our return to the school.

Don’t Sweat the Test – Parent Letter 2019                                           

DON’T SWEAT THE TEST!

                       Dress in your comfy sweatshirts and sweatpants

to take your state tests!

Dear PS 101 Families:

Our third, fourth and fifth graders are ready to take their ELA standardized state exams next week. In order to create comfortable and cozy days for testing, we are encouraging all students and staff to wear their comfy sweats on Tuesday, April 2 and Wednesday, April 3.

Dressing in your comfy favorites will ensure our students are relaxed in their sweatshirts/sweatpants and take on the test with confidence. We want our students to celebrate all they have learned and to always remember, DON’T SWEAT THE TEST!

Sincerely,

Gregg Korrol

Principal

Bowling Letter 2019

Dear P.S. 101 Parents and Guardians,

P.S. 101 would love to give grades 3, 4 and 5 the opportunity to join a weekly bowling team. Bowling is a great way for kids to make friends and learn how to synergize. In order to create a bowling league, we would like to have an idea of how many students would be interested in becoming a member of this club. If there are enough dedicated students who want to join, staff members will contact local bowling alleys in Bensonhurst to find out the specific details. Although staff members will be present, parents/guardians are expected to supervise their child.

If your child is interested in becoming a member of P.S. 101’s bowling team, please complete and send in the tear off slip below by 4/03/2019. In the upcoming weeks, there will be an updated letter that will be sent home confirming if there will be a team, which will provide more information.
