  • New Cell Phone and Electronic Device Policy

    In accordance with New York State law, New York City Public Schools (NYCPS) is implementing a citywide policy for distraction-free learning. This policy will encourage deeper participation in class, so students can stay engaged the entire school day from bell to bell. All NYC public schools will prohibit the use of personal cell phones and internet-enabled electronic devices—such as smartphones, tablets, and smart watches—during the school day. Students may bring personal devices but cannot use them during class or on school grounds unless an exception applies.

  • Water Outlet Test for lead and remediation - Letter dated 10/10/23

    Please see the attachment for formatted letter on NYC DOE Letterhead.  Printed copy backpacked 10/10/23.

    The following is provided so you can use google translate if needed:

    October 10, 2023

    Dear Families and Staff:

    This is a follow up to a letter informing you that your school’s water outlets would be tested for lead
    in 2023.

    On September 27, 2023, all operational sources of water at P.S. 102 - Brooklyn (P.S. 102 The
    Bayview at 211 72 Street Brooklyn, NY 11209), including for drinking or cooking, were tested for
    the presence of lead. The laboratory results showed elevated levels of lead in 5 of the 74 samples
    outlets from which water was taken and tested. Any drinking or cooking outlet with elevated levels
    was immediately taken out of service, and will remain out of service until it is successfully
    remediated. Details of elevated results are attached and complete test results are posted on the
    DOE website at https://www.schools.nyc.gov/schools/K102. Click “Reports” and look for the
    “Facilities” heading.

    The test results include water outlets that are not used for drinking or cooking, including
    handwashing sinks. Sinks will have clear signs indicating “Hand Washing Only” and “Not for
    Drinking Use.” The custodial staff will continue to flush the P.S. 102 - Brooklyn water systems on
    Monday mornings and after holidays to eliminate stagnant water. This is part of our comprehensive
    protocol to ensure safe drinking water for students and staff in each and every school. To learn
    more about the protocol please visit
    https://www.schools.nyc.gov/school-life/space-and-facilities/space-and-facilities-reports/water-safety

    We will keep you updated on the remediation work at P.S. 102 - Brooklyn, and thank you for your
    patience and support.
    Sincerely yours,
    Kevin Moran

    A NOTICE TO PARENTS, GUARDIANS, AND STAFF
    P.S. 102 - Brooklyn
    P.S. 102 The Bayview
    211 72 Street Brooklyn, NY 11209
    October 10, 2023
    Safe and healthy school environments can foster healthy and successful children. To protect public health, the Public
    Health Law and New York State Health Department (NYSDOH) regulations require that all public schools and boards of
    cooperative educational services (BOCES) test lead levels in water from every outlet that is being used, or could
    potentially be used, for drinking or cooking. If lead is found at any water outlet at levels equal to or above 5 parts per
    billion (ppb), which is equal to 5 micrograms per liter (µg/L), the NYSDOH requires that the school take action to reduce
    lead exceedance.
    What are the initial first draw testing elevation results?

    Samples Collected on 09/27/2023
    Floor Function / Space Closest Room Outlet Type Sample Results (ppb)
    02 Bathroom 217A Cold Water Faucet 1 5.48 ppb
    02 Classroom 215 Cold Water Faucet 1 5.4 ppb
    03 Classroom 301A Cold Water Faucet 1 5.8 ppb
    03 Classroom 314 Cold Water Faucet 1 9.64 ppb
    03 Library 317 Bubbler 1 37.6 ppb
    What is being done in response to the results?
    Each of the affected drinking or cooking outlets, have been taken out of service and will remain out of service until
    remediation work is completed and future testing provides results below the action level. Outlets that are not used for
    drinking or cooking that tested with lead levels above the action level (5 ppb) will remain in service for hand washing
    only, with “Hand Washing Only” and “Not for Drinking Use” signs posted.

  • Complete the PS 102 School Leadership Team Survey

    Dear Parents and Families,
     
    The School Leadership Team (SLT) is a group of parents and staff members who develop educational policies for our school. They also make sure there are resources to support those policies. The SLT provides ongoing evaluation of our school’s programs and their impact on student achievement, plays an important role in school-based decision-making, and helps to make our school cultures more collaborative.
    The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is comprised of parents and teachers. The PTA advocates for students and families. Its role includes updating parents and families about the school and planning and running activities for parents and families. The PTA also supports our school in a number of ways, including organizing activities for families—both academic and social. raising funds and running volunteer events.
    We would appreciate your feedback regarding your comfort reaching out to these two groups. Please complete this 3 question survey as soon as possible.
    Thank you in advance,
    The PS 102 School Leadership Team 
    PS 102 – The Bay View School
