SCHOOL UPDATES
A MESSAGE FROM MS. RACHED
We have some VERY exciting news to share – we have booked an author visit with Jessica Love, the author of our October book of the month Julián is a Mermaid on October 29 at 2 PM. This will be a virtual event, and all classes will get to participate! Copies of Julián is a Mermaid will be available to purchase at the Boo Bash, with profits going to the PTA. Thank you so much to Stephanie Valdez and Nick Raschella for helping to make this happen!
On October 29, students may choose to dress up as their favorite storybook character or an underwater creature inspired by Julián is a Mermaid. (Please remember, no masks that completely cover the face and no weapons.)
ELECTION DAY – REMOTE LEARNING
November 2nd, Election Day, will be a fully remote day, and teachers will be posting work in Google Classrooms. You must use your child’s nycstudents.net account (DOE student account) to join their Google Classroom (do not use your personal email to join). Reach out to Debby Wattenbarger if you need help accessing your child’s nycstudents.net account, and/or need a remote learning device for your child. Please contact your child's teacher if you need the Google Classroom code.

SCHOOL-WIDE REMINDERS
All students/staff/visitors must complete their health screening at home every morning before they arrive in school. Click the link here: Online Health Screening Paper copies will be made available at school if needed.
Please complete your Covid-19 Testing Consent Form and return it to the main office. Forms were sent home this week for students who are missing consent. You can also provide consent online – go to schoolsaccount.nyc. Log in with your own email at the screen that looks like the DOE student login, then select the blue "my student" button. The link to the Covid-19 Testing Consent is at the top of that page.
All families must complete the Family Income Inquiry Form, which helps schools receive money for their programs regardless of if they qualify for free or reduced lunch. No need to sign up for school breakfast or lunch.
Complete the Emergency Blue Card here: Emergency Blue Card. We still need you to complete the entire form even if you updated this in your NYCSA. Please return the form to the main office, or email to fancona@ps154.org
