Dad's bring your child to school ~September 18, 2018

As part of New York State’s commitment to promote responsible fatherhood, one day in September has been set aside for fathers and father-figures to take their children to school as a way of becoming more involved in their child’s education throughout the year.  Once again Councilman Daneek Miller attended  P.S./ I.S. 268 's "Dad's bring your child to school day"  imparting wonderful community initiatives that fathers [and all those in the  community] could take advantage of for the progression of our students and their families.  Fathers were treated to light refreshments provided by our wonderful P.T.A.  and an engaging program organized by our Parent Coordinator, Ms. Simms. 

  

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
