As we observe this day, may it inspire reflection, conversation, and a continued commitment to justice and equality. Wishing all of our families a thoughtful and peaceful Juneteenth.

PS 101 Grade Tags

Dear PS 101 Families,

To support a smooth and safe arrival each morning, we will be implementing a colored tag system for all students. Each grade will be assigned a specific color tag that will be attached to your child’s bookbag. The tag will make things easier for our staff to help guide students to their designated grade-level line-up areas and to watch for students in the incorrect arrival location.

Important Reminders for Families:

  • Please ensure your child’s tag remains on their bookbag at all times.
  • Do not remove, replace, or decorate the tag, as it is an important safety and organizational tool.
  • If a tag becomes damaged or lost, please notify your child’s teacher so we can provide a replacement.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us create a safe, efficient, and positive start to each school day.

Sincerely,

Gregg Korrol

Principal
