May 2018 Dear Parents/Guardians: Please note the following TESTING & PROMOTION UPDATES:
May 9 will be our 6, 7 and 8th grade Preview Night for incoming 6th grade students and their parents, as well as our current sixth and seventh grade. Students and parents will meet next year’s teachers and hear about the work students will be doing in 2018-19. The May PTA meeting will be held on Thursday, May 10 at 7:00 pm. PTA Elections will take place at this meeting, including nominations from the floor for vacant positions. Please plan to be there and have your voice heard. The Irwin Altman MS 172 Evening of Excellence Awards Ceremony will take place on Monday, May 14 at 7:00pm. Honorees will be notified by letter the first week of May. Our Spring Festival of the Arts will take place on Wednesday, May 30 with our Art, Technology Instrumental Music, and Chorus teachers and their students presenting an evening of cultural experiences that highlight our students’ artistic talents. The Art Show will be on view in the lobby and will remain up through June 14 A few housekeeping notes: With the warm weather approaching, students are allowed to carry and use water bottles in the classroom in accordance with their teachers’ guidelines. For safety reasons water bottles may not be used during passing from one class to another. Also- please review the dress code (in the Parent/Student handbook at MS 172.org) and assist your children in making appropriate clothing choices for school. We must also request that students NOT wear open-toe shoes or flip-flops as these present a hazard in crowded hallways. Additionally, with concern for students who have asthma or allergies, body sprays are not allowed to be used in classrooms. Thank you for your cooperation in these matters. Please help us keep your children safe. If you drop your child off in the morning, please only allow your child to exit your vehicle at the curb, not in the middle of the street. And, as has been our practice for 10 years- there is no car traffic on 257th Street from 2:00-2:30pm due to our large number of busses and our student pedestrians. . Also- do not double park or park in crosswalks on 81st Avenue and obey the STOP signs. And finally: DRIVE SLOWLY when driving anywhere near the school. MS 172 is hosting weekend & evening NYS Math Test scoring from May 5 through May 17. Parking near the school will be challenging- please arrive early for events. Thank you for your cooperation. Jeffrey D. Slivko, Principal Even though lunch is free for all middle school students, every student must have a meal application on file - If you have not yet completed one, please do so immediately. You may be asked to revise an incomplete or incorrect application - please do so and return it to the school immediately. Microsoft Office for Free for Students!
