Home - P.S./I.S. 268 Q

Emergency Blue Cards are given out each year to students to be filled out by you and sent back to the school. Blue cards are to be updated YEARLY.

It is extremely important that the school has the current, correct information for contacting parents or guardians at all times - especially during the school day. It is the responsibility of Parent/Guardian to see that the Blue Emergency Contact Card, which is kept on file in the main office, is completely filled out and accurate. Please notify the school in writing of any changes that may occur, so that we can update official Department of Education forms and databases.

If your child becomes ill or it is necessary to close school early due to an unforeseen emergency, we will use the Blue Emergency Card contact information to contact you. It is extremely important that we have ALL CURRENT phone numbers written clearly on the cards.

If you have family members or friends listed as emergency contacts please be sure that those adults you list on the Emergency Card know that they have been listed.

If there is a significant change (i.e. an address or name change) please contact Ms. McRae, Pupil Acct. Secretary @ (718) 206 -3240 x1013 to have this information updated in the NYC department of Education database. You will need to bring in proof of address for any address changes.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Administration

K- What a student may already Know

L-What a student may Learn

E-What Evidence a student may find

W-What do our students Wonder about

S-What Science ideas can we use in our explanations

PS /IS 268 IS A BEACON FOR IMAGINE LEARNING!

Imagine learning is an individualized computer program that our school offers to English Language learners. It is a language and literacy based program. The program is incredibly appealing to young learners who love music and animation. Through songs, charming characters, and visuals, students deepen their understanding of literacy and language concepts like phonics and grammar. The more students use the program, the more information they generate for teachers to assess and target their areas of strength and weaknesses. Students use the program each day at school, but they must use it at home too! They only need to log on for twenty minutes each night. Our students are eager to log in and have been noted to clock record time in the program. For this reason, we have been selected by Imagine Learning coordinators to be its Beacon school for the Imagine Learning program !

Congratulations to Ms. Singh and Ms. Flores for their part in making our students great imagine learners!!!

For more information and/or questions on this program please contact Ms. Singh or Ms. Flores at (718) 206-3240

PS IS 268 is presented with a banner from Imagine Learning representative for student record time spent using the program!
