A new year means a new opportunity to make a change! Ms. S's kindergarten class paired up with Ms. Riolo's 3rd grade class for their first book buddies meeting. This was a fun and educational opportunity for both groups to learn from one another while simultaneously building new friendships. The 3rd graders acted as the role models, guiding their kindergarten friends to point under words, spot sight words they've practiced in class, and use the pictures to help them when things got tricky; while on the other hand, the kindergartners, "taught" the older kids about patience and helped them recognize how much they've grown in such a short amount of time.

A win/win situation--and an event both grades are eager to do again!

Another winter season is here, and to welcome the brisk days ahead, the lower and upper grades performed in the annual Holiday Concert. Each grade performed both traditional and new age holiday melodies, and with the addition of our new Movement program, kids got to show off their best dance moves for everyone to see. Special thanks to Ms. Sable, our music teacher, Ms. Chavez, our movement teacher, Mr. Rangel, the parent teacher coordinator, administration, teachers, and of course all the parents for your help and support in making this special event a possibility!

Dear Families,
 
Today, PS 173 opened its doors to welcome a group of fantastic students and another wonderful school year. With each new year, we have the opportunity to develop and nurture the minds of our students in academics, the arts, physical education and extra-curricular activities. The time we have with our students and their families is very special and a vital part in us working together. Coming together as a school community- Parents, Administrators, Teachers and Staff- we form a partnership in education and the development of our students.
 
As we look ahead to the coming year, we invite you to be actively involved in your child(ren)’s learning.

• Get to know your child(ren)’s teachers, principals and school family. Keep in touch regularly through written communication, DoJo, emails or phone calls.
• Take the time to talk and listen to your child(ren) each day.
• Monitor homework and television watching.
• Enjoy reading good books with your child(ren).
• Encourage daily attendance for your child(ren). Good attendance is the key to leaning success.

 
We look forward to a new school year. I know that by working together, we will ensure that our students will have a successful and positive experience. Welcome back!
 
Warmly,
Ms. Garcia, Mr. K and Ms. Delgado
