  • Water Test Remediation Letter March 14, 2024

    Kevin Moran
    Chief School Operations Officer
    Department of Education
    52 Chambers Street
    New York, NY 10007


    March 14, 2024 

    Dear Families and Staff:

    This is a follow-up to a October 10, 2023 water test results notification letter. I am pleased to
    share we have successfully completed remediation work at P.S. 102 - Brooklyn (P.S. 102
    The Bayview at 211 72 Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209).

    On September 27, 2023, all operational sources of water at P.S. 102 - Brooklyn, including for drinking or cooking, were
    tested for the presence of lead. The final laboratory results indicate that there are no elevated levels of lead in any of the outlets.

    Details of prior elevated results are attached and complete test results are posted on the
    DOE website at https://www.schools.nyc.gov/schools/K102. Click “Data and Reports” and
    look for the “Facilities” heading.

    Out of an abundance of caution, the custodial staff will continue to flush the P.S. 102 -
    Brooklyn water systems on Monday mornings and after holidays before school starts, to
    eliminate stagnant water. This is part of our robust protocol to ensure safe drinking water is
    available for students and staff.

    Please visit https://www.schools.nyc.gov/school-life/space-and-facilities/space-and-facilitiesreports/water-safety
    to learn more about the protocol we use to ensure the safety of drinking water in each and every school.

    Thank you for your understanding and support. We wish you and your students a wonderful
    rest of the school year.

    Sincerely yours,
    Kevin Moran

  • Kindergarten Wait List

    Dear Parent/Guardian,

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

    If you missed the deadline to apply to kindergarten, you can still add your child to waitlists 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. 

    Questions about kindergarten admissions, offers, and waitlists? Learn more on our website, call us at 718-935-2009 or email us ESenrollement@schools.nyc.gov.

    Best wishes,

    The Elementary Admissions Team

  • Respect for All Week Letter

    Please see attachment for fully formatted copy of this letter. 

    Dear Families,

    Please join us in our citywide commitment to foster kindness and
    respect in our schools during “Respect for All” Week on February
    12–16, 2024.

    As parents and caregivers, we all know that teaching children to respect
    others is a shared responsibility. With the recent alarming rise in bias
    incidents across the country, it’s more important than ever that we
    as New Yorkers lead the way in demonstrating compassion for one
    another, respecting diversity, and preventing bullying.

    Here are a few ways you can help support a safe and supportive school
    environment for all students.

    1 Reinforce the “Respect for All” message that your children will hear in
    school: all students must be treated with respect – and bullying and
    harassment have no place in our community.

    2 Request help or make a report if a child has been bullied or
    discriminated against:
    a Tell any school staff member and they will connect you to support.
    b Visit nycenet.edu/BullyingReporting, email
    RespectForAll@schools.nyc.gov, or call 718-935-2288.
    c If the issue involves sexual or gender-based harassment, contact the Title
    IX Coordinator at 718-935-4987 or Title_IX_Inquiries@schools.nyc.gov.

    3 Learn about our policies and resources to keep our children safe
    that teachers, parent coordinators, and school staff are trained in at
    schools.nyc.gov/RespectForAll.

    4 Send general questions to your school’s principal or your school’s
    Respect for All Liaison.
    To find the name of your school’s Respect for All Liaison, as well as the
    name of your school’s Sexual Harassment Prevention Liaison:
    • Visit schoolsearch.schools.nyc, enter and select your school’s name,
    and scroll down and open the “School Contacts and Information” section.
    • Their names are on posters displayed around your school as well.
    In addition, please ask them for a Respect for All “wallet card”, or printed
    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), which is also directly available to
    you online at schools.nyc.gov/RespectForAll.

    These resources provide information on how to report incidents, the investigation process,
    and interventions to prevent and address student-to-student sexual
    harassment and student-to-student gender-based harassment, bullying,
    intimidation, and/or discrimination.
