Reminder: There will be early dismissal on Friday, December 2. Dismissal is at 12.00 noon, please tell your parents!! This is the start of the second quarter in the school year. Please be advised that students will be graded much harder as the school year is progressing. I expect all students by now to understand and follow all the rules and exercises. Some of the students have been very fortunate to been able to receive their grades as some of you are lacking basic comprehension skills. Grades 1 and 2 have been asking me when they will be able to go out for recess. As per DOE rules Grades 1 and 2 need to have at least 1 hr and a half of gym/exercises as a way to counter obesity within the school system. Therefore recess time shall be 45 mins of exercising. Be happy! You will all thank me later in life. As always look to the planbook for what we will be doing this week. http://planbookedu.com/s/SG8KH

Reminder SCHOOL IS CLOSED NOVEMBER 18, 2016 . UPK classes will be practicing this week for the Thanksgiving presentations. Presentations will be held on thursday at 9am. Gym classes resume as usual.  Please remember to have your gym uniforms on. Some of the kids have been asking if it is ok to bring gym clothes for those with the extra period of gym. I have not asked Mr. Woods yet, but I don't think it will be necessary as we will never be doing any strenuous activities. As always look to the planbook to see what activities we will be doing this week. http://planbookedu.com/s/SG8KH

Reminder November 6 is Daylight savings. Turn clocks back hour!! November 8 is Election Day remember to vote for Hillary Clinton. Public schools are closed but WE ARE NOT!!! November 11 is Veterans' Day. School is closed!! This week we are implementing a new rule under article 43 of New York State DOE where kids from PreK thru 2nd grade are receiving an extra period of gym every single day.  This is due to the concern of rising obesity in children. We will be having a gym class where students are doing exercises for 30 mins aside from regular gym class.  Please bear with us while we do our best to implement this rule as quickly and efficient as possible. As always look to the planbook to see what we will be doing this week. http://planbookedu.com/s/SG8KH
