Notes from Mrs. Murillo
December 29, 2021
Dear Families,
Happy Winter!
Winter Solstice officially began December 21, 2021. Unbelievably, although the days seem to get darker earlier, we will gain a minute of light each day from then forward. Our weather patterns have been very inconsistent ranging from 60+ degrees some days and plummeting to real feels in the low 30’s other days. Please continue to send your child in with a winter coat appropriate for the climate as this fluctuation in temperature can also lead to many getting sick.
The Pandemic caused a lot of trauma for our children, staff and families and we are beginning to see this roll over into school. Our emphasis remains on positive behavioral supports, which ensure students understand what they did wrong and what they can do differently so it does not happen again. However we must also enforce the DOE discipline code and Respect for All.
At our last PTA meeting I shared a presentation on Positive Behavioral Expectations and Supports and we continue to reinforce this work through Character Education aligned to Respect for All and multi-tiered systems of support.
As we approached the middle of the academic year, my attendance letter went out to families whose children are below the 90% for school attendance. Please read the letter which explains how far below the 90% your child lies and the impact it can have on their academic success. Our goal is for every child to be above the 90% as consistent school attendance leads to greater academic success. Please sign and return the bottom portion of the letter to your child’s teacher in their work folder. If you have any concerns, feel free to contact the school and speak with our transitioning Parent Coordinator Mrs. Bottallico or our Attendance Monitor, Mrs. Seery who both work in collaboration with school Administration.
As we are getting ready to bring closure to 2021 and ring in the New Year 2022, there is important information which will be shared in all of your children’s Google classrooms and on our website: www.ps38si.org regarding a new COVID 19 Policiy which will begin on January 3, 2022. We will also send home a copy of this letter with your child on January 3 when all students return to school. This letter is from current Chancellor Meisha Porter as she transitions out of her role, and our new Chancellor David Banks who will begin his new role as NYC Public Schools Chancellor in January 2022. Please read this letter as there is new and valuable information regarding COVID 19 quarantining policies you should be aware of.
Lastly, our hopes for all of our families and students are for a New Year filled with good health, happiness, and all good things. Enjoy this precious time together…
We hope you have a safe, restful, and enjoyable break and look forward to welcoming you all back to an exciting second half of the school year on January 3, 2022.
Once again I would like to wish our families of many cultures and faiths Happy Holidays! Looking forward to seeing you in the New Year!
~Thank you for entrusting your children to us.
