 Last years test results for Grades 3-8 have been released.
Notices with instructions on setting up your mystudent.nyc account were sent home this week - please contact Ms Lauraine if you need further help! Learning to be organized is a process - a skill that needs to be taught, practiced, and honed. Teachers will be reinforcing these skills with their students throughout the year and request that all students have a planner ready to use by October 1st. Families can purchase the 217 school agenda by returning the form below with $7 cash (correct amounts only) or a check payable to PS/IS 217 PTA. Note: If you ordered the school supply kit last June, your child has already received a 217 agenda and bag tag as part of their kit.  Parents, relatives, and family friends were thoroughly entertained tonight by the music performances from Grades 2-8! Students really shone in their performances - the culmination of a years hard work in music classes. Grade 2 students gave their best choral performance, Grade 3 harmonized on the recorder, and Grades 4-8 gave some terrific band performances. Congratulations to our students on a job well done, and a big thank you to Mr Ladalia and our teachers for putting on such a tremendous show! If you would like to share your photos, please email them to psis217info@gmail.com. Recently, classes 401, 402, 405 and 501 participated in a workshop presented by the New York City Children's Theater called "Fair and Square".
Fair and Square is all about conflict among 5th grade friends and the appropriate ways to handle these types of conflicts. After losing the school spelling bee to Roberta another student, McKayla. accuses her of cheating. When Roberta learns that she might lose her coveted award she takes matters into her own hands, placing the two of them in serious trouble. Throughout the interactive drama and workshop, students explored themes of conflict management, actions, and consequences as well as peer pressure. The students were highly involved and added wonderful insight and their own resolutions for the actors. Grades 3-8 has started Circuit Training this week! Students will participate in circuit training for the next 6 weeks.
Kindergarten - Grade 2 have begun working with parachutes. This is a 6 week physical education unit.
On Tuesday, 5th grade students and their families participated in an open PBIS class. The class was themed: "Empowering Your Child" and was all about conflict and bullying and how to stand up for yourself in certain situations. Families and students discussed specific scenarios together and answered tough questions on what to do!
