Letter of Support
June 2024
P.S. 102 Families:
We are sharing and are in support of the message below from our Community Superintendent, Dr. David Pretto.
We respect all members of our school community and express support for our LGBTQ families at P.S.102.A Message from Our Superintendent:
The safety and well-being of every student and staff member is my number one priority. Regarding concerns about inappropriate public comments made by several meeting visitors at the May CEC20 meeting, District 20 and New York Public Schools has a zero-tolerance policy for bias and discrimination against the LGBTQIA community, and we reject all forms of hate. Hateful rhetoric towards any group has no place in our schools or amongst our parent leaders.
Our goal and our responsibility is to ensure every single child feels safe and welcomed in our schools. This includes our transgender youth. District 20 stands strongly behind the NYCPS 2019 gender guidelines. All students have the right to have their gender, gender identity, and gender expression recognized and respected.

2024-2025 School Year Calendar
Please see the attached NYCPS Calendar for the next school year. We ask that families plan vacations and travel around the school year calendar to minimize absences.
Our first day of school in the fall will be Thursday September 5, 2024. If you know that your child will be returning after 9/5/24, or will not be returning to PS 102 in the fall, please notify Ms. Rainford in the school office as soon as possible. lrainford@schools.nyc.gov or 718-748-7404 x 2280.
Thank you.

The Grades 1-4 Gifted & Talented application for Fall 2024
The application is available April 15 - May 3. Families with eligible public-school students were notified with details on applying via email or mail.
MySchools.nyc includes an online directory tool that allows families to view school open house info, explore program choices, save programs of interest, and submit their application, all on the same site.
Families can apply to Grades 1-4 G&T in one of two ways, online at MySchools, or by visiting their local family welcome center.
Your Sibling Verification List (SVL) is available in MySchools.
Schools should use their SVL to verify whether applicants who have indicated that they have siblings in your school should have sibling priority for G&T admission.
Please verify your siblings by May 3rd 2024. Anyone verified after this date is not guaranteed to receive priority.
Please review the guidance on how to verify siblings here.
There will be virtual events for families on this year's Grades 1-4 G&T admissions process.

Garden Group Meetings
Parents work together each Friday morning from 9:00 - 10:30ish to maintain the garden throughout the year. "Meetings" are informal - but we do use this time to make plans for the garden season and future programming for our students and families. Gloves and tools are available. These sessions are cancelled in the event of rain or cold temperatures (below 40 degrees.) If they are cancelled for any other reason, I will post on www.ps102.org as early as possible. Hope to see you soon!
We meet throughout the year - though our sessions are more brief in the winter months. In the winter we host a Winter Solstice Celebration from 10-2 and we raise money at the PTA Valentine's Day Sale in February - donations of garden/plant/nature/love themed items to sell at our table are appreciated.
If you are not getting emails about the garden and would like to -- please ask me to add you to the list: melliotsheri@schools.nyc.gov.
