Author: The CPA of PS16

Thank you to our Class Parents, Specialist teachers, clerks and Nurse Brennan for all the time, effort and money they put into decorating cars for our 4th annual Trunk or Treat. Our students had an amazing time and it looked like the adults had the most fun! We are beyond appreciative to the PS16 community for everything you do to make memories for our children.

This year the competition among the grade levels was fierce and our secret panel of judges had a hard time picking the winner. The winning grade will be receiving an ice cream truck treat in the near future! The winning grade is revealed here:

As you all may be aware, the courtyard that your children play in during recess desperately needs a padded surface. The children have a wonderful time out there, but they do receive their fair share of skinned knees and elbows.  We would love to provide your children with a much safer surface to play on.  We can do it, but we need your help.  In speaking with the vendor, the padded surface for the courtyard will cost $32,000. To help defray the cost, we are kindly asking each family for a donation towards purchase of the materials and installation.  We know that it may be asking a lot, but it’s a great way to give a long-lasting gift to your children, and the children of the future. We are asking that all contributions be made by October 21st, 2022, so that installation can begin before the cold weather.   We are hoping to have enough raised to begin work on November 1st. Thank you so much for your time and consideration as we work together to ensure the safety of our children. 

We have received new inventory of SHORT SLEEVE POLOS in sizes XS, S, M and XL.

Gym shirts in all sizes are expected to arrive on Friday.

We have temporarily paused online uniform orders while we prepare for order collections next week. Online sales will resume on Friday September 9th and any orders placed then will arrive home in your child’s backpack.

Online order collection will be held this coming Tuesday, September 6th, from 1pm to 3pm, in the courtyard next to the main building. Our team of volunteers, including many of our PS16 alumni who have moved on to middle school, will be on hand to assist you. We ask that you do extend some patience to our young volunteers working hard to gain community service. If you are unable to collect your order on Tuesday we will send it home with your child on Thursday. 

In order to make the collection process faster please have your ORDER NUMBER. This can be found in the confirmation email you received when you placed your order. Print outs are not necessary, but it would be really helpful if you arrive with your order number written on a piece of paper. We are recommending that you arrive during your designated time slot based on order numbers.

• 1pm – #6436 through #6530
• 1:30pm – #6531 through #6590
• 2pm – #6591 through #6659

We thank you in advance for your cooperation!

We do plan to hold an in-person uniform sale on Wednesday September 7th. We are expecting a delivery from our suppliers on Tuesday. On Tuesday evening we will send an email with an inventory update.
