1/9/2023 - What's Happening at PS 199Q

Week in Review at PS 199Q 

1/9/2023

FitzGerald Falcons! 

We completed the first successful first week of the new year! I wish all families a Happy and Healthy New Year! 

We know returning from vacation can be difficult for students and parents to get back into the morning routine. However, you must develop a routine for your child(ren) to be at school by 8:10 a.m. Doors will continue to open at 8:10 a.m. and close by 8:15 a.m. If the doors are closed, you must report to the main entrance, where your child will receive a late pass.  

Important News!

  1. The Department of Education has begun Kindergarten registration for children born in 2018 for the 2023-2024 school year.  The application deadline is Friday, January 20, 2023. All families who apply by the deadline will receive a kindergarten offer in April.
