APL - ARIS PARENT LINK
PS 102 parents were given letters in June 2009 or March 2010. The first letter included their child's Student ID #, (or OSIS #) the second has a unique password for accessing the site. APL allows you to access the same information on your child that educators use. Contact Margaret Sheri if you cannot located these letters or numbers, need help logging on, do not have an email account, or need to access a computer for viewing your child's APL account at:
www.ARISparentlink.org If you note any discrepencies on your child's biographical information, please complete the APL update request form found here and return to our main office. If your child has already graduated you will need to contact your middle school in Sept. 2010.

What's happening in the garden -- Nature's Classroom @ PS 102
Our Garden Gates art project has been reinstalled and we are planning to include a follow-up project so more panels can be added.
Thanks to Tom, Ilona, Didem, Rebecca, Rana and our wonderful school custodians for cleaning up and caring for the garden over the summer months. The butterflies and blooms are abundant.
Our WOOLLY POCKET SCHOOL GARDEN has been fully funded and is on the way! A BIG THANKS to all who contributed. Come on out to our first meeting at 9:00 on Friday Sept. 18th to find out more and have a say in what flowers and vegies we will plant for the fall. We will also be harvesting and planting fall crops in our Earth Boxes and send thanks to Mrs. Harner, Ms. Kaye, Ms. Sullivan, Rana, Kathy, Ady and Amina for taking care of them over the summer.
