Dearest PS 130 Families!
It is hard to believe that we are already at the end of October! We hope you are all doing well and have been having a GREAT school year so far :)
Friday 10/30 was a fun-filled day - many of our students (and staff!) came to school "disguised" as ALL SORTS of special characters :) THANK YOU to all the students and families who joined the Parents' Association's after-school Halloween Dance Party in the Playroom - we hope you had loads of fun!
Halloween itself hasn't been on a Saturday in a long time, so please be safe out there as you continue the festivities today and tonight!
This weekend is also DAYLIGHT SAVINGS time! On Sunday 11/1, our clocks should "FALL BACK" one hour (so at 2:00AM, the clocks should go back one hour to 1:00AM) - maybe an extra hour of sleep for most of us?! :) Our mornings will become brighter, but the evenings will start to get darker sooner.
And just a reminder of some important dates for this coming week:
Tuesday 11/3 = Election Day, and students will STAY HOME for REMOTE INSTRUCTION. Teachers will send you specific information about what your child's day will look like (where to access work, etc.).
Thursday 11/5 = HALF-DAY (Dismissal at 11:35AM), Virtual Afternoon & Evening PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES (By now, you should have signed up for a time to virtually meet with your child's teacher to discuss the first marking period. Report cards will be sent home this week.) - CPC will be in session, ISS will not be in session.
**The YouTube Series "Celebrity Substitute" will be filming an upcoming episode at our school this week! You may start to see a "transformation" of our Hester Street Yard space. There will be changes to some of our Arrival and Dismissal procedures on certain days this week, including Friday 11/6 - more detailed information is coming!
THANK YOU!
