District 15 Monthly Town Halls

Message from Superintendent Alvarez
WHAT IS BULLYING? SUPPORTING STUDENTS AND UNDERSTANDING Please see the attached:
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BULLYING AND CONFLICT. District 15 Monthly Townhalls
PLEASE JOIN US FOR A SPECIAL SESSION FOR FAMILIES
AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS ON DECEMBER 21ST

School Tours

We would like to extend invitations to sign up for live in-person school tours beginning in December. More information regarding school tours and signing up for a tour can be found on our PS 10 VISUAL SCHOOL TOURS 2022-2023 page

RE: School Update

As you know the health and safety of our school community is a priority. In an effort to address the concerns that teachers and parents had about dust in the classrooms, the administration asked the UFT representatives on Wednesday, October 19th to reach out to the UFT to see if an independent Industrial Hygienist could be invited to visit our school.

On Thursday, October 20th, 2022 we were informed by the District 15 UFT leader, Nancy Aromando, that a hygienist would be visiting the school to assess the situation. A report was generated and released to the administration and UFT representatives. This report was also shared with the staff at our school. It is important to note that many of our staff are also members of the parent community and have students in our school.

Due to the number of requests from families to gain access to the report, we reached out to the District level UFT to request permission to share this with our entire school community. Permission was granted; please find the complete report attached.

An opportunity to have your questions and concerns addressed will be on Monday, November 21st at 10:00 a.m. at a Town Hall meeting via Zoom. A link will be shared on the school website and via Konstella. Present at this meeting will be members of school facilities, the school construction authority, the construction company, P.S. 10 administrators, school UFT representatives, and Assemblyman Robert Carroll.

Please note that just prior to the report being released, the DOE school facilities and members of the SCA have been visiting and meeting to determine how to address our concerns. As a result the following steps were implemented:

All grinding, brick removal and dust producing work activities were halted

Construction work that originally began at 3:30 PM will not commence until 6 PM. Only preparation for work is allowed to begin at 3:30 PM

Two DOE staff members were identified as contacts (liaisons) to address any immediate issues or concerns.

Two construction workers were appointed to inspect all areas of the building at the end of a work day

More stringent cleaning protocols were put in place that include

HEPA vacuum cleaning and hosing down the work areas at the end of the day

Air purifiers were inspected and filters replaced

Air purifiers are set to "turbo" levels whenever possible

A rapid response survey was established so that teachers could report concerns from staff and parents

Like you we have a lot of questions and welcome yours as well. To facilitate this the PTA has set up a link where you can submit any questions or concerns. It can be accessed here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfzI6IVbg2rRe1ZBBadfzTXSMaMdPCxJlS-ObR1zpbp6KnwIg/viewform

We are confident that by working together we can resolve these issues to ensure a safe learning environment for our school community.

Additionally, attached is the UFT Hygienist Report.

Best,

PS10 Administration

RE: Monster Mash/Harvest Festival!

"Our Halloween Monster Mash Festival was a huge success thanks to the coordinated efforts of our PS 10 / K280 PTAs and 75 hardworking parent and staff volunteers. The weather cooperated as fun was had by all who attended. There were carnival games, bouncy house slides, mini golf, magic shows, music, dancing, arts and crafts, fantastic food and even an ice cream truck. It was a fabulous, well attended event! " - Laura

RE: K280 ONLY - Positive Exposure Notice

Good evening families of K280,

Please view the attached document from the DOE Situation Room regarding a positive case in our school community.

PS 10 Ventilation

The PS 10 School Building was designed with systems in place to create airflow. Our building has an exhaust system that moves outside air into the building and pulls existing air out. Fresh air is pulled in through windows, and existing air exits through vents in classrooms and many other areas of the building. These vents are located in the cafeteria and auditorium as well. The DOE recommends that windows be opened at least 3" in each classroom to help facilitate airflow. With windows open and the school building ventilation system working together, teachers can safely close classroom doors if necessary.

Anemometers are used by custodial staff to assess the airflow in each room, to make sure air is drawn adequately out of each room. Classroom vents are clear of items that may obstruct the airflow. A few classrooms that do not have these vents have had special fans installed in the windows to create continuous airflow that is pulled into the exhaust system through myriad other vents

We are incredibly fortunate to have a system like this in our building. It was put in after flu and tuberculosis epidemics swept through Brooklyn for the express purpose of mitigating viral epidemics and is still one of the most effective ways to keep viruses from spreading. Every classroom now has two air purifiers, one provided by the PTA (Thank you again, PTA!!!) and the other by the DOE for both K-280 and PS10. Having the exhaust system coupled with air filtration systems is a very powerful combination and one that few other schools have.

RE: Letter from Superintendent Skop

Good evening families,

Please view the attached letters from Superintendent Skop's letter supporting our Asian communities.

ELA and Math Exams

Dear families of students in grades 3, 4 & 5,

In a typical year, New York State Grades 3-8 English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics exams and the Grades 4 Science exams would be administered to nearly all students in their physical classroom. This year, many of our students are learning remotely, but the New York State Education Department has required that exams must still take place in-person in the school building.

Assessments will be administered in-person ONLY to students who would like to participate. If you would like your student to participate in this year's State exam, you MUST REACH OUT DIRECTLY TO gnusser@ps10.org in order to opt-in to take the ELA and Math exams. The deadline to opt-in for the ELA is Thursday, April 15th, 2021 in order to ensure that the school can prepare and create a testing schedule that ensures the health and safety of all our students. (You can also indicate if your child will be taking the NYS Math and 4th Grade Science exams at this time.)

Please note that this information is updated from what was relayed during our testing information meeting. Previously, only remote families were to reach out to opt-in; now ANY STUDENT who will be taking the exams must contact the school. You do not need to contact us if your child WILL NOT be testing. If a school does not receive the request to test, your child will not participate in the exams.
Students will not be penalized for not taking a State exam.
If you are a remote family who already filled out the Google form that was shared previously, we already have recorded your response and you need not reach out again.

The linked 2021 Student Participation Guide includes helpful information to help answer questions about this spring's tests in Grades 3-8.

The NYS ELA and Mathematics exams are normally administered in two separate sessions over a two-day period. This year, all schools will administer only Session 1. This session includes only the multiple-choice items and will be administered on any day(s) within the following testing windows:

ELA: April 19-29, 2021

Mathematics: May 3-14, 2021

For 4th grade students, only the one-day, written portion of the Science exams will be administered within the following window:

RE: Zoom Protocols and Expectations

Good afternoon families,

Please read the information attached below regarding Zoom protocol and expectations.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact your child's teacher and/or grade supervisor.

RE: PS 10 Transition to a 5 Day Schedule

Good afternoon PS 10 Families,

We are excited to announce that we are nearing the completion of a plan for five days of instruction. This means that we will be able to invite all of our hybrid students grades 1-5 into the school building for five days of in-person instruction. This plan will include our incoming remote students who recently requested to move from fully remote to hybrid cohorts.

To do this, we need students who were scheduled to attend in person on Monday, April 26th (B cohort) to engage in remote asynchronous instruction. Our staff will use this day to prepare classrooms, organize additional furniture, and review safety protocols for in-class and outdoor activities, including lunch. The administration will share more information at the next PTA meeting, scheduled for Thursday, April 22 at 7:00 pm. We anticipate that we will be able to begin the five-day schedule beginning Friday, April 30th. We appreciate your support with this transition.

PS 10 Administration
