INCLEMENT WEATHER~RAINING/FREEZING
When the weather is inclement (raining/freezing) students will be indoors for morning lineup. Please remember that all students should have 2-3 just right books in their backpack to read EVERYDAY!
Also, during cold or inclement weather 1st and 2nd Graders will be dismissed in the cafeteria, 3rd Graders are dismissed from assigned stairwells. Families picking up 3rd Graders are strongly urged to report to their assigned door via the small yard. It becomes a safety hazard when adults are waiting in the 3rd grade stairwells. 4th Graders and up are dismissed from their regular dismissal areas.
We need your cooperation in ensuring SAFETY always!!
Dear PS/MS 108 Families,
PS/MS 108 has purchased Ticket to Read for all
students in grades Pre K – 8.
Your child is participating in the fun and
easy-to-use Ticket to Read® online reading program. This program is designed
to help improve your child’s reading skills in phonics, vocabulary, fluency,
and comprehension. It will motivate your child to spend additional time
practicing these important reading skills.
Encourage your child to spend at least 15–30
minutes three times a week in Ticket to Read. As your child successfully
completes the sessions, he or she will be able to play in an online clubhouse
or with some virtual toys. You will receive information about your child’s
progress in the program from their teacher, and you can also check progress by
logging in and reviewing the amount of time spent and activities completed.
Join your child online in Ticket to Read and see
them achieve success in reading!
To log in, use your child’s User ID and Password
provided by their teacher.

This program is designed to enhance our reading
program. I look forward to continued reading achievement for all of our
children.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Arroyo
