2. Dear PS 5 Families,
1. Welcome back PS 5 families! We cannot wait to see you all on Thursday, September 8th. Please read this letter in its entirety as some of the information had to change from our previous correspondence. First, this year’s SBO (School Based Option) which teachers voted on in June, has changed our arrival and dismissal time for the 2022-2023 school year. All students begin school at 8:30 am, with breakfast available at 8:15 am. Doors will not open for student arrival until 8:15 am. We realize the inconvenience for families who need an earlier option and have created a self-sustaining Morning Care program. We have already sent out a survey to the entire PS 5 community to gauge interest and have contacted those interested. We currently have 25 children signed up. Morning care can begin as early as 7:00 am but you can drop your children off any time between 7 am and 8:15 am.
Earlier this summer we emailed the new arrival and dismissal plan (outlined below) to our families.
- On the first day of school ONLY, Kindergarten children will begin school at 9 am. All other days they will begin at 8:30 am.
- Kindergarten children will come in DOOR 2 (middle door) located in the front of Deisius Street. Parents will not be allowed to walk into the building with the children. We will have many friendly faces/staff to greet the children to help them in and guide them to their classroom.
- Dismissal for KINDERGARTEN students is at 2:40 pm each day. This will alleviate much of the congestion that will be at the front of the building since we can no longer use the schoolyard.
- All other students in grades 1-5 will be dismissed at 2:50 pm each day at their designated area/door.
- GRADE 1 children will arrive and dismiss from Door 2 which is in the middle of the building on Deisius Street.
- GRADE 2 children will arrive and dismiss from Door 3 which is on Deisius Street and the corner of Stecher Street.
- GRADE 3 children will arrive and dismiss from Door 1 which is on Deisius Street and the corner of Kingdom Avenue.
- GRADES 4 & 5 children will arrive and dismiss from Door 4 located on Kingdom Ave.
- Morning Care students who have registered and paid for morning care will enter the building through Door 1.
Please remember to have your child’s supplies labeled. We have a committee that will be delivering supplies to your child’s classroom. Additionally, if anyone wants to drop off their child’s supplies earlier than the first day, you can do it between 9:30 am and 1 pm on Tuesday, August 30th and Wednesday, August 31st.
As you know, the new addition is preventing us from using any part of the schoolyard. I have diligently tried to obtain some/any space for us to use in the back of the school and have been denied. We have spent this summer planning on ways for our children to be outside. The application for OPEN STREETS has been submitted as we are hoping to get approved for the closure of Deisius Street (front of school) for the children to use for PE and recess. For this reason, no cars will be able to drive in front of the school at arrival and dismissal. Since there will be no Stop and Drop and limited parking, please plan accordingly.
I am working with the builder to keep the small jungle gym for our younger ones. We will also have the area on the side of Kingdom Ave/Deisius Street and are moving the sheds to create more space. Thank you so much to our PTA for supporting us with making sure that the children will get outside as much as possible.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Arcuri & Ms. Cusumano
