Dear PS 101 Families,

Please be advised of the following safety practices in and outside of the school building. Safety is a shared responsibility amongst our community and by practicing these safety protocols, you can help us maintain a safe and respectful environment for students and everyone in our school community.

School and Schoolyard Rules:

• We love animals, but for safety reasons dogs and other pets are not allowed in the school building, schoolyard and dismissal areas. While you absolutely love your pets, please be reminded that some children and adults get scared.
• Do not use electric scooters or e-bikes in the schoolyard or on the school ramps.
• Scooters and bicycles are not permitted for use in the schoolyard before 3:00 pm which ensures a safe and orderly dismissal.
• Students are not permitted to play ball in the school yard during dismissal. After everyone dismisses at 3:00 pm, students may use the park with parent supervision.
• Do not bring glass containers onto school grounds. Glass containers of any kind pose as a risk, and we will discard any of these items if observed in the classroom. Please ensure only plastic containers, bottles, or jars are used for all purposes.
• When using the schoolyard during afterschool hours, you must remain vigilant and supervise your children during outdoor play. Do not leave your children unattended, especially younger, non-school age children.
• Smoking is not allowed in the schoolyard or around the school building as per NYS Law.
• Encourage kind and respectful behavior toward others with children and adults.

Thank you as always for your partnership and cooperation in keeping our school premises a safe and enjoyable space for all children.

Sincerely,

Gregg Korrol

Principal
