Announcements

• Congratulations to P.S. 102!

  Based on 2021-22 data, the New York State Education Department (NYSED) has identified P.S. 102 The Bayview as a school designated for Local Support and Improvement (LSI) for the 2022-23 school year. The designation “Good Standing” has been changed to “Local Support and Improvement (LSI),” to recognize that all schools, even higher performing schools, are in a continuous improvement mode and can benefit from local support from their districts to meet students’ differentiated needs. Local Support and Improvement (LSI) is the best accountability status currently available.

  Please  read the following letter from Principal Sichenze: 

  Dear Parent or Guardian,

  This letter is to notify you that, our school, PS 102, has been designated for Local Support and Improvement (LSI) by the New York State Education Department (NYSED) for the 2022-23 school year based on the performance of our students on New York State assessments in school year 2021-22. The previous designation “Good Standing” has been changed to “Local Support and Improvement (LSI),” to recognize that all schools, even higher performing schools, are in a continuous improvement mode and can benefit from local support from their districts to meet students’ differentiated needs. The school’s designation is part of the state’s accountability system consistent with federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) requirements. In the 2023-24 school year, NYSED will be updating school accountability designations based on school year 2022-23 results.

  I’m confident that the programs and interventions that are being implemented citywide and at our school will continue to make the 2022-23 school year a high-quality educational experience for your child.

  Thank you for your ongoing partnership and support. Our entire school staff is committed to ensuring a successful year for our students and school community. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at 718-748-7404.

  Sincerely,

  Cornelia Sichenze
  Principal

• Kindergarten Registration after the deadline

  العربية /  বাংলা /  中文 /  Français / Kreyòl ayisyen /  한국어 /  Русский / Español / اردو

  Dear families,
  
  If you missed the deadline to apply to kindergarten, you can still participate in admissions by adding your child to programs’ waitlists! The way to do this is online with MySchools—learn how in our “How to Add Your Child to Waitlists” video. Please keep in mind that you can no longer apply to kindergarten G&T programs or add your child to kindergarten G&T waitlists.

  Don’t have a MySchools account yet? It’s easy to create one—learn how in our the “How to Create a MySchools Account” video. 

  Please note: If you applied by the deadline, you’re all set! There’s nothing else you need to do—your child will receive a kindergarten offer in the spring.

  Questions about kindergarten admissions or need support? Learn more on our website, call us at 718-935-2009, or contact a Family Welcome Center. 

  
  Best wishes,
  The Elementary School Admissions Team

• A message from Principal about the shelter-in today, February 13, 2023

  February 13, 2023

   

  Dear Parents/Guardians:

   

  The safety and well-being of all students and staff members at P.S. 102 remain our highest priority.  To this end, we are sending you this notice to inform you that this morning, out of an abundance of caution, we conducted a shelter-in where students and staff members remained in their classrooms due to NYPD activity off school grounds.  All of our students and staff members are safe.  The shelter-in was lifted after NYPD determined that there was no threat to our school building, students, or staff members.

   

  We assure you that every precaution was taken and will continue to be taken to ensure the safety of our students and staff members.  Guidance counselors and support staff are available as always to assist students as needed.

   

  We look forward to your continued partnership as we work together to ensure that P.S. 102 continues to provide the best and safest learning environment possible for all of its students.

   

  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me or our Parent Coordinator, Margaret Sheri, at melliotsheri@schools.nyc.gov 

   

  Sincerely,

   

  Cornelia Sichenze

  Principal

• A Message from the DOE to Families about the COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate: February 8, 2023

  Please follow this link for fully formatted letter and translations:
  https://www.schools.nyc.gov/about-us/messages-for-families

  February 8, 2023

  Dear Families,

  Per the Mayor’s announcement on Monday, the New York City Board of Health is expected to
  make changes to the City’s current vaccination requirements this week. Specifically, as of
  February 10, 2023, NYC Department of Education (DOE) staff and other individuals in DOE
  schools and buildings – including visitors and family members – would no longer be required to
  show proof of vaccination against COVID-19. This means that COVID-19 vaccination would be
  optional for DOE staff and others who work in DOE buildings, as well as for volunteers at school
  led functions such as field trips and others participating in activities in school buildings.

  Schools will continue to provide masks and have COVID-19 tests available for distribution for
  students and staff. These tests can be used by students, staff, and family members for testing
  due to symptoms, in case of known exposure, or for testing after participation in high-risk activity
  (such as travel and large gatherings).

  As a reminder, staying up-to-date with COVID-19 vaccinations is still the best tool we have to
  fight COVID-19 and to keep our schools safe for all our students. Children aged 6 months and
  older are eligible to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Updated bivalent COVID-19 vaccine
  boosters are now available for people aged 6 months and older. We encourage all those eligible
  to receive these boosters. If your child is eligible but not yet vaccinated or boosted against
  COVID-19, please take the opportunity to make an appointment at vaccinefinder.nyc.gov or call
  311 to find a vaccine site near you. You can find more information here:
  nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-vaccines.page#boost.

  Please visit cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/stay-up-to-date.html for more information on
  COVID-19 vaccination schedules.

  To stay up to date with our current covid information please visit here:
  schools.nyc.gov/schoollife/health-and-wellness/covid-information
  
  To protect against COVID-19 and other viruses, and in alignment with the recent health
  department advisory, we strongly recommend that everyone wear a mask at all times when in a
  crowded, public indoor space, including at school; practice frequent handwashing; and cover
  their mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing.
  Additional information about this change is included below.
  
  Thank you for your continued partnership.
  Sincerely,
  The New York City Department of Education
  
  Will parent-teacher conferences be in-person?
  Parent-teacher conferences will continue to be conducted remotely, though Parents and
  caregivers may always request in-person conferences at a mutually agreeable date and time.

  Does this mean non-vaccinated parents can enter schools again? Attend PSAL games?
  Yes, this means non-vaccinated parents and community members can enter schools and attend
  Public School Athletic League (PSAL) games and other activities that take place in school
  buildings.
  
  How does this affect PSAL and other sports activities at schools?
  As announced in September 2022, students are no longer required to be fully vaccinated to
  participate in high-risk sports or extracurricular activities.
