SCHOOL UPDATES
A MESSAGE FROM MS. RACHED
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.
November 3rd and 4th will be our Parent-Teacher Conferences. Our teachers are looking forward to meeting with you to discuss your child's progress and any specific concerns you might have. This year, conferences will be held remotely - please look out for sign-up information from teachers.
AUTHOR VISIT
Jessica Love, author of Julián is a Mermaid (our book of the month) and its joyful follow-up, Julián at the Wedding, will visit with all our classes on a special Zoom call on Friday, October 29th, at 2 PM!
Here’s how to buy your own copies, with all proceeds going to the PTA fund: For classroom delivery, order HERE by Monday, 11/1 (delivery date: 11/9). Or head over to Terrace Books at 242 PPW to purchase them there. Be sure to mention PS154.
DRESS-UP DAY! On October 29th, students may choose to dress up as their favorite story-book character or an underwater creature inspired by Julián is a Mermaid. (Please no masks that completely cover the face, and no weapons.)
Thank you to PS154 parents Stephanie and Nick from Terrace Books for donating their time and resources to make this happen!
THE SCHOOL STORE
Now you can wear your SCHOOL SPIRIT on your sleeve! PS 154 temporary tattoos are available HERE!
And get your full-zip script hoodies HERE while supplies last!
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
PTA UPDATES
BOO BASH IS A WRAP!
We want to thank you for making Boo Bash 2021 one of the best EVER! Our community showed up in a major way and was flexible despite the rain date and ever-changing forecast—and we’re THRILLED to report that this event raised a record-breaking $25,000+ for our amazing school!
We’re grateful to our countless volunteers and supporters, particularly Karen Tingley, who devoted so much time and energy toward making Boo Bash so special for our kids, and to Danielle Mendez for the huge task of coordinating all the food!
