Meeting with me last summer to discuss all things 102, Mr. Pisacano paused often to remind me, “You are truly blessed.” He was especially grateful for a loyal and dedicated staff, anchored by veterans who have each made incredible contributions over many years. I specifically recall him speaking glowingly of Ms. Atkins, highlighting each of her many strengths and accomplishments. Her work has been instrumental in building a sound foundation for 102, and we will continue to benefit from her work for years to come. With sincere gratitude we wish her good luck as she continues her career as an education administrator at the Queens North Borough Field Support office. Her last day at 102 is Friday, March 18th, and we look forward to working with her again soon. Thank you, Ms. Atkins!
Weekly Highlights: Unfazed by swarms of crazed children sprinting and yelling all around her, Ms. Diana Mcauley calmly assisted a student whose foot was trapped under the playground horror device also known as the “Standing Spinner”. Sitting next to a crying 3rd grade student until help arrived, Diana provided some much needed comfort and calm, preventing any further injuries. Thank you, Diana! (Everyone is ok, by the way.)
Things You Should Know:
NYCDOE Family Surveys: Surveys will be sent home to families this week. Specific instructions will be provided along with the surveys and you should make sure to both distribute and discuss the information relating to this process during PM homeroom. More information will be given over the PA.
Keep Window on Classroom Doors Clear: Classroom door windows must remain free of decorations, and you should remove any items blocking them by COB Tuesday, March 15th. In addition to creating a serious safety hazard, obstructing classroom windows can communicate unintended and unwelcome massages about our work. Exceptions can be made in special circumstances such as holidays and small decorations away from sight lines on a case-by-case basis.
Student Profile is now available. Using your NYCDOE login, you may securely access Student Profile information from an internet-enabled device in order to view students’ report card grades, Regents and/or grades 3–8 state test scores, daily attendance, scheduling information (for middle and high school students), enrollment history, student indicators from ATS, and parent/guardian contact information; additional features, including historical assessments, will be added to Student Profile in future releases.
Please note that Student Profile data is intended to mirror features in parents’ NYC Schools Accounts; therefore, you are encouraged to use Student Profile as you discuss students’ academic progress with parents during parent-teacher meetings.
