Take Me Out to the Ball Game!!

PS3 Night out at the Staten Island Yankees 

 - Order forms are due this Friday (5/18) 

Order forms are due for PS3′s night at a Staten Island Yankees game this Friday the 18th. A note of clarification: when we were approached about this event, we understood it to be a “FUN”-raiser for the PS3 community. When we received the materials, we were, quite frankly, surprised by the level of “FUND”-raising that was involved. We apologize if the competitive ticket-selling or promotional nature of the event has made any of you uncomfortable – and we will do a better job of vetting potential FUN and FUND-raisers in the future! Meanwhile, we look forward to having a great time at the event!

The Game will be on June 20th at 7pm (Staten Island Stadium)

If you want to go over with all your PS3 friends, we’ll be leaving the school at 5:45pm that evening and will ride over together . . . → Read More: Take Me Out to the Ball Game!!

Health Forms Needed!

Parents: It is imperative that our school nurse, Tricia, has a General Health Form CH-205 (filled out by an M.D.) for every student at school.

This is especially important for incoming Kindergarten students in the fall.

Many parents think that handing in the immunization forms to Raquel is the health requirement.  Raquel absolutely needs copy of immunizations by law, but Tricia also needs the CH-205, signed by an MD after the child’s fifth birthday

If you are an new, incoming parent regardless of your child’s age, you must submit a General Health form (CH-205). If you already submitted it after your child turned five there is no need to submit an additional one.

General Health forms available here (use link for for Child and Health Examination Form and a .pdf will be downloaded) http://schools.nyc.gov/Offices/Health/default.htm

If your child requires medicine during the school day whether daily (such as glucose monitoring, insulin pump maintenance), on an as-needed basis (such as  Asthma inhalers and Allergy-related medicines including Benadryl . . . → Read More: Health Forms Needed!

Fab Faux at Bowery Ballroom

Please join PS3 parent, drummer and vocalist Rich Pagano and his band The Fab Faux in a benefet concert for PS3! Tickets will go on sale Friday and will go fast! When- June 15th and 16th, 8pm Where- The Bowery Ballroom Price- ($65) Tickets go on sale Friday! www.boweryballroom.com

About the Fab Faux:

With a commitment to the accurate reproduction of The Beatles’ repertoire, The Fab Faux treat the seminal music with unwavering respect, and are known for their painstaking recreations of the songs (with emphasis on the later works never performed live by the Beatles).  Far beyond a cover band, they play the music of The Beatles so impeccably that one must experience it to believe it. Imagine hearing complex material like ”Strawberry Fields Forever” or “I Am the Walrus” performed in complete part-perfect renditions; or such harmony-driven songs as “Because”, “Nowhere Man”, and “Paperback Writer”, reproduced not only note-for-note, but with extra vocalists to achieve a double-tracked effect. . . . → Read More: Fab Faux at Bowery Ballroom

SNACK RECOMMENDATIONS

When it’s a family’s turn to bring in snacks for the class, sometimes the parents are confused about what to bring. We encourage whole foods: fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. It’s up to the individual family and the class—but more nutritious snacks give your kids a physical and intellectual edge. On average, a quarter of kids’ calories are come from unhealthy snacks. Snacks count! Help make snack time healthy at school and at home.

Please see the “food” tab at the top of the page that says snack recommendations for ideas to provide for your child’s class.     Thank you.

Cafeteria Move to the Gym

Subject: Seeking feedback on cafeteria to gym move Our cafeteria —> gym construction project is fast approaching. By September 2013, we expect to have a brand new, working kitchen (where Lupi’s room is now) and a beautiful sunlit cafeteria in the gym, along with a new multi-purpose arts studio (where the cafeteria is now).

This Monday, May 14, the architect, contractor & School Construction Authority representatives will sit down with Lisa, Frank, and Jackie (who is the UFT rep) for the “sequencing” meeting to address scheduling and logistics for this project, now set to start immediately following the last day of school. Nick Gottlieb, PTA co-President & SLT member, and Tara Rochkind, co-Chair of Arts Committee & herself an architect, will be representing the community at this meeting.

We are inviting parents, faculty & staff to contact us, preferably by email, with any issues or concerns you may have related to the scheduling and sequencing of our kitchen/cafeteria renovation.

Many thanks, Nick <nickgottlieb@me.com> Tara <kytr@verizon.net>
