PUBLIC SCHOOL 164

Google Group Sign up

9/12/2019

Communication between home and school is extremely important. The P.S. 164 Google Group will be the school's new way of communication with parents/guardians, families and staff about important announcements, meetings, events, and updates to activities. Our parent Google Group is an email list for PS 164 parents/guardians. In addition, every class will have its own Google Group email list for sending questions, notices and communicating with the classroom teacher. You don’t need to have a gmail address to join, just an email address. (This will be replacing School CNXT.)

Immunization Requirements

7/10/2019

Dear Families,
As of June 13, 2019, public, private and parochial schools and childcare programs in New York can no longer accept requests for religious exemptions from school immunization requirements. This law applies to students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and to all childcare settings. Schools and childcare programs will continue to accept medical exemptions.
All NYC students must meet the immunization requirements in order to attend school. Students are permitted to attend or remain in school if they have received the initial series of vaccines but must remain on schedule to stay in school. Please closely read the attached letter from the DOE and Department of Health and Mental Hygiene that details the school immunization requirements for the 2019-20 school year.

For reference, see the attached Immunization Chart.
You can review the immunization requirements online at schools.nyc.gov on the Immunizations page.

It's Time to Make Summer Reading Plans!!

6/24/2019

Don't fall down the summer slide!
Be sure to read all summer long
so you can summer climb!

Did you know that if students do not read at all during the summer they can lose knowledge, information, and reading levels they worked so hard o gain during the school year?

But if students read during the summer they can maintain that hard work and even improve!!

Head over to our Summer Reading page to learn about apps and activities offered through our school library! And you can learn more about the Brooklyn Public Library's Summer Reading Program!
