P.S. 14 in Corona - The Fairview School

Dear PS 14 Families,

Happy New Year!

A new year represents an opportunity to begin anew with fresh resolve and renewed commitments. We make resolutions and proclamations. We make promises to be proactive, and we share our dreams with friends and families. Something we know from time and research is that the best way to follow through on a commitment is to identify a rigorous goal and then make an action plan to achieve it. We begin with the end in mind, and then plan backwards to ensure that we stay on the path to reaching that goal.

Please set a goal that your children are in school and on time every day. Please schedule appointments after 2:25 pm whenever possible to promote academic instruction
for your child. We value you as partners in our support for your children. If you ever need anything, please reach out to us. We are here to help.

 As a faculty and as a School Leadership Team, we have designed our Comprehensive Education Plan (CEP) for PS 14 The Fairview School with big goals and ambitious action plans to achieve them. In short, we will continue to:

1.      To improve ELA state exam scores by 6 points school wide.

2.      To improve math state exam scores by 6 points school wide.

3.      To be our best selves by supporting one another collaboratively.

4.      To thoroughly engage students in critical thinking and learning.

5.      To improve communications so we all have one shared vision of success.

6.      To achieve 97 percent attendance school wide.

 Through partnerships with families, teachers, students, and consultants we know that we can achieve these goals together.

 May peace, joy, and love be with you all year long!

Dear Families and Staff:

I would like to provide an update on the ongoing measures at the NYC Department of Education (DOE) to ensure that the water in our schools is safe for students and staff.

First and foremost, New York City water is safe. Families and staff should rest assured that our drinking water is of the highest quality in the world. New York City’s water meets or exceeds all Federal and State standards. In addition, the DOE works with other City agencies to ensure there is safe drinking water in schools. The safety and well-being of students and staff is our highest priority.

 In accordance with state law, all schools must test for lead in water every five years. This fall, the DOE will begin a new testing cycle, which will conclude in December 2020. In the first phase of this round, a third of buildings will be tested.

 Your school building has been selected to be a part of the 2018 cohort. Once the building has been tested and the lab results received, you will receive a notification of the results. In any building where test results show even one water outlet above the action level, the DOE will implement its standard response protocol.

Sincerely yours,                                                                                               

Elizabeth A. Rose
