A Message from the Principal

Dear PS/MS 71 Families,
 
Happy New Year! I would like to welcome everyone back from the winter break and hope that all were able to relax and participate in some memorable activities with family and friends during the holidays. As students return to school, I want to ask our families to be mindful of re-establishing the necessary routines to ensure that your students are in attendance and on-time each morning to get each school day off to a great start. In addition to morning routines, we also ask our families to continue to be mindful of early dismissal habits as well. Although there are times when an occasional early dismissal is necessary for an appointment or urgent family need, early dismissals should be minimal as this loss of instructional time can certainly affect a student’s performance. As always, we appreciate your support as our teachers and students strive to maximize their instructional time shared each day. 
 
Middle of the Year Screeners Administration Window will take place January 5-16.   As part of our Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), students in grade K-8 will be taking Middle of the Year Universal Screeners in ELA and Math.   Students in K-2 will take the ACADIENCE, grades 3-8 will take iReady Reading, and K-8 will take iReady Math. The purpose of the screeners is to measure literacy and math skills, identify areas of strength, and areas in need of improvement for each student.   This data is used by teachers to tailor and adjust daily instruction, to closely track and monitor student progress, and it is used to guide targeted supports and interventions to meet the needs of all learners.  Upon completion of the screeners, families will receive a progress report.

January 12th: 3rd and 4th Grade Families: “Preparing for the Digital State Exam” Information Meeting w/ Mr. D’Oro Room 208 1:30 pm to 2:15 pm
