• 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

• NYC Drought Warning

  On November 18, Mayor Eric Adams issued a drought warning for New York City. All New Yorkers are encouraged to conserve water. Based on Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) guidance, we encourage families and staff to adopt water-saving habits, emphasizing reducing water use as a shared responsibility: 

  • Report open fire hydrants and street leaks to 311.

  • Limit unnecessary flushing, as toilets account for a major portion of water use.

  • Reduce shower times.

  • Turn off faucets: Avoid running water while brushing teeth or washing hands.

  • Fix leaks promptly: Report and repair any dripping faucets or running toilets.

  • Run dishwashers and washing machines only when full.

  • Ask custodial teams to use brooms to clean sidewalks and driveways where possible.

   

  Additional tips for reducing water use can be found at nyc.gov/savewater.
