Greetings P.S./I.S. 192 Families,

The PTA would like to welcome you all to the 2023-2024 school year!

The purpose of the PTA is to support our families, staff, and most importantly our students.

Our main focus is to engage our school community and raise funds in order to conduct

activities and events for our students.

We would like to invite you to join our PTA because your involvement is so very important to the success of our school community. Our budget is based on fundraisers and donations.

We would like to request a donation per family, NOT per student, beginning at $5.00.

This is not a mandatory fee, however, you will be helping us start off the school year with a strong foundation that we can build on.

We are counting on your ideas and enthusiasm in order to make “your” PTA a success!

Sincerely,

Nashwa Elsayed

Child Mind Institute

https://childmind.org/

Transforming Children’s Mental Health

The Child Mind Institute is dedicated to transforming the lives of children and families struggling with mental health and learning disorders by giving them the help they need to thrive.

We’re the leading independent nonprofit in children’s mental health, operating three Mission Areas that work together for greater impact: Care, Education and Science.

Dear Families: 

The results of the New York State English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics tests for students in grades 3–8 administered this past spring are now available. These tests are designed to provide a snapshot of how your child is performing against New York State Next Generation Learning Standards and expectations for their grade level.  It is important to remember that these tests are just one of several measures we use to assess student progress: grades, report cards, writing samples, projects, assignments, and other performance-based student work are equally important. 

You can access the results through the NYC Schools Account (NYCSA) portal on the “My Student” page (schools.nyc.gov/NYCSA).  Your account must be linked to your child in order to view this information. If you need support accessing the portal or would like to create an account, you can visit schools.nyc.gov/NYCSA to learn more or contact our school’s parent coordinator Ms. Cisneros-Steinert.We will be glad to help you. 

Our staff is in the process of reviewing the results to help inform our planning throughout this school year. We will share more details on what this means for our school community later this fall. 

If you need any support accessing your child’s scores, please let us know. 

 

Sincerely,

 

Mr. Colby Muscarelle

NYC School Bus App Information

Dear Families,


NYC Public Schools has been working on a multi-year project to update NYC’s school
transportation system in partnership with Via, the leading provider of Transit Tech. This project
helps caregivers and schools with student transportation and improve the efficiency of busing
operations. The project will provide real-time bus location and data to all caregivers, students,
schools, school staff, school bus drivers, and school bus companies across NYC.
Your school has the technology to see the location of certain bus routes for arrival and
departure each day. As a next step, NYC Public Schools and Via would like to introduce the
NYC School Bus App and your student’s bus route has been selected to join!
You can download the App on your smartphone (iPhone or Android) from the App Store
(iPhone), Google Play store (Android), or visit https://doe.app.ridewithvia.com on the web. In the
app you can see the location of your student’s bus in real time and track the journey to and from
school.

In order to log into the app or the web app, you will need your NYCSA – credentials. If you need
support with your NYCSA account, please reach out to your student’s school’s or visit
www.schools.nyc.gov/nycsa.
If you have any questions about the app or would like to give feedback, please reach out to your
school’s transportation coordinator and they will support you!
In partnership,

NYC School Bus Project Team

Apply to 3-K, Pre-K, and Kindergarten for the 2024-2025 School Year!

Dear New Yorkers,

It’s only the first month of 2024, but we’re already thinking ahead to September and the start of next school year, when we’ll welcome approximately 150,000 3-K, Pre-K and Kindergarten students into our classrooms.

For families with students turning three, four, or five this calendar year, you have a wide range of options. Consider Kindergarten as an example. From Gifted and Talented Kindergarten programs in every district to dual language programs in 12 different languages, there are so many opportunities to explore. This September, we are opening new elementary schools with dual language programs in Arabic, Mandarin, and Spanish and our first-ever Montessori district public school. You can learn more about these Kindergarten options on our website.

Our 3-K and Pre-K portfolio is equally rich. We provide programs in district schools, community-based organizations, family childcare centers, and more. Pre-K also offers dual language programs in 12 languages, and eligible families have the option of both extended day and year-round 3-K and Pre-K programming.

At NYC Public Schools, we value choice—that’s why families can list up to 12 programs on their applications. Since we do our best to match your child to your top preference, it's critical to ensure the order of your program list matches your true preferences. Typically, about 95% of our Kindergarten applicants are placed into one of their three highest-ranked programs!

Now is the time to start preparing for the upcoming school year. For our families with students entering 3-K, Pre-K, or Kindergarten, I encourage you to review the application process on our website. Kindergarten applications for the 2024-2025 school year are due January 19, and 3-K and Pre-K applications just opened earlier this week. (If you need a seat for your child for the remainder of this school year, visit our website or contact a Family Welcome Center for support.)

We look forward to welcoming your children to our schools this fall!

Soaring high,

 

David C. Banks

Chancellor
