Dear PS 107 Families,
We are eagerly gearing up for the start of the 2024-25 school year here at PS 107, and the building is positively humming with activity! Over the last several days, teachers have been coming in to start setting up their classrooms; class assignments have gone out; and many of our teachers have shared their welcome letters with all of you. Today, several middle and high school volunteers were in the building to help us sort through all of the curricular materials that were delivered over the summer for our classrooms. We are all so excited to welcome your children back to school on Thursday, September 5th!
As you all know, students need school supplies, and all of our teachers are either collecting funds so that they can purchase supplies in bulk – or have sent home supply lists. Please know that if this is a financial hardship for any of our families, we are here to help! Just send a brief email to Parent Coordinator Nadia Benlarbi at nbenlarbi2@schools.nyc.gov letting us know that your family needs assistance with funds for school supplies, and your child’s supplies will be taken care of, no questions asked.
Keep an eye out on Wednesdays for future issues of The Wednesday Weekly! They will be jam packed with information about what’s happening here at school. Enjoy the waning days of summer, and we can’t wait to see you all on the first day of school!
Warmly,
Ms Joanna
