Dear PS 101 Families:

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year at PS 101! It is with great excitement that we welcome both new and returning families to another year of learning, growth, and opportunity. At PS 101, we are proud to provide a nurturing school community where every child is encouraged to explore, discover, achieve, and belong.

At PS 101, we believe learning extends far beyond the classroom walls. Guided by our vision of Bridging Education + the World, we provide meaningful learning experiences that inspire curiosity, foster leadership, and prepare students for success in school and beyond.

Our school day begins with breakfast at 7:40 am, followed by instruction promptly at 8:00 am. Dismissal is at 2:20 pm. We appreciate your support in ensuring your child arrives at school on time each day, ready to learn.

Students benefit from engaging instruction aligned to NYC Reads and NYC Solves, supported by HMH Into Reading and Savvas enVision Mathematics. Beyond the classroom, students enjoy enriching experiences through STEM, LEGO Robotics, Scientific Inquiry, Visual Arts, Graphic Design, Dance, Music, Library, Physical Education, and daily Move to Improve activities that encourage creativity, wellness, and exploration.

At PS 101, we believe in educating the whole child. Through Leader in Me, Civics for All, Sustainability Education, Financial Literacy, and our daily WIN (What I Need) instructional block, students develop leadership, responsibility, problem-solving skills, and receive personalized support that helps every learner grow with confidence.

The safety and well-being of our students remain our highest priority. We appreciate your partnership in helping us maintain a safe and secure learning environment by ensuring students arrive no earlier than 7:40 am, reviewing personal safety reminders at home, and completing all beginning-of-the-year forms promptly.

Strong partnerships between home and school are the foundation of student success. Thank you for the trust you place in us each day. Please peruse the parent handbook for school information: 2026-2027 Student-Parent Handbook.docx

On behalf of our entire faculty and staff, welcome to another exciting year at PS 101. We look forward to celebrating your child’s achievements and creating wonderful memories together throughout the school year.

Sincerely,

Gregg Korrol
Principal
