Greetings PS 101 Families,
Each year, PS 101 creates limited after-school programs which have different areas of focus based on academic need. While all students can use some degree of additional support, there are many students in our school who do not have any additional support (such as a Special Ed service, ESL service, etc.) and do need additional help.
Our first round of after-school academic programs starting in late September are for teacher-selected students in grades 2-5 and based on a specific academic criterion (mid-level 2 students to low level 3 students who do not get additional support and need it). Students are chosen based on a grade criterion (listed above) and if they will benefit from additional instructional time. As the year continues, we will potentially create other after-school or before school programs that target different instructional needs and/or groups of students.
Additionally, the following programs are planned:
As a reminder, if you are not part of this round of after-school and want additional support, you have FREE access to online tutoring through iReady which tailors’ instruction to your child’s specific needs and gives direct feedback.
Sincerely,
Gregg Korrol
Principal
