A Message From Mrs. O'Shaughnessy
I hope everyone is enjoying their Summer! It is a hot one for sure, and there is a lot more Summer left! Enjoy, relax, and be safe.
I always share that the summertime is such a needed break, for everyone! Our staff are off for the summer months, and use that time to recharge for the upcoming school year. Our families have the time to pause from the day to day routines, leaving time for vacation, late nights, and fun filled days. Many of our students are having a great time at Summer Rising, playing with friends, enjoying the waterslides and making new friends.
During the summer months, only myself and Ms. Ivett Perez-Lopez are working. I know for many, there are questions you may have. Feel free to reach out to either of us. This week I am sharing some resources with our families. I wanted to share before we return, so that you have access. Our website and our new PS 88Q Parent University site are live, and always being updated, so these two portals will be key in staying connected.
Below are generic supply lists for each grade. Each teacher may customize their list, but all items are not necessary the first week. I cannot stress enough how important it is to have a device, either a chromebook or an IPAD. Each child will have access to a device in school, but NYC Public Schools, central department, are not providing students with a central device moving forward. Schools are responsible for all devices. Our students take assessments, conduct projects and research and receive daily instruction through devices that must remain in school. Our grade 3, 4, and 5 students also will take the NYS Assessments (ELA, Math) on the computer as well this year. The devices we have on site, that were originally issued through central will be redistributed, and all students who leave PS 88Q (graduates, etc) must return their device. Keeping a solid inventory of devices will support all students.
Enjoy August! Take time to do all those things you want to do!
