 Dear AmPark Families, What an amazing start to our new school year! The smiles on our Owls' faces have been as beautiful as this early fall weather outside and we are so glad to have them back at AmPark! While there were some first day tears from our newest little ones, they were soon dry and replaced by joyful hugs by the end of the day. We're very excited to welcome you all back IN PERSON for our Back to School Curriculum Night next Thursday! Please see the flyer below (and thank you PA super moms for making it : )!  Also linked here please find our Parent Handbook for the 2024-2025 School Year. In this handbook you'll find so much important information from key school dates to AmPark's policies and practices. We're lifting up Ms. Meena's Principal's Message and a letter from our Parent Coordinator, Elvira below here, which you'll find in the opening pages of the Handbook as well. Hope to see you all next week on Thursday! Principal’s Message, From Principal Meena Lildharrie Dear AmPark Families, I hope you had a wonderful summer with your family and friends and that you are filled with excitement for the upcoming school year. First and foremost, let me express my gratitude for entrusting your children's education to our devoted team of educators. It is a responsibility we take very seriously, and we are dedicated to providing a safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environment for each and every student. As we embark on this journey together, I want to assure you that I am fully committed to fostering a collaborative partnership between the school and parents. Open communication and transparency are vital to our success, and I encourage you to reach out to your child’s classroom teacher first, with any questions, concerns, or suggestions you may have throughout the year. Together, we can create an educational experience that meets the individual needs and interests of your child. I am proud that our team of teachers and support staff are both experienced and passionate about education. They possess a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and dedication that will help guide your child along their educational journey. Rest assured that they are committed to not only academic excellence but also the social and emotional well-being of our students. Furthermore, I want to emphasize the importance of parental involvement in a child's education. Research has consistently shown that strong partnerships between home and school positively impact student achievement. I invite you to join us in various school activities, meetings, and events, as your contributions are invaluable to maintaining a thriving school community. In the coming weeks, you can expect to receive further correspondence with important dates, upcoming events, and updates regarding our school's operations. We strive to keep you informed and involved, so please keep an eye out for these communications. Once again, welcome back to school. Together, we will navigate the challenges ahead and create a nurturing and enriching environment for our students. I look forward to a successful and memorable academic year filled with growth, achievement, and meaningful connections. With much appreciation, Meena Lildharrie, Principal Parent Coordinator’s Message, From PC Elvira De Jesus Dear Parents & Guardians, Welcome to the 2024 - 2025 school year! This school year promises to be an exciting one! There will be many family events and we hope you will be able join the AmPark Neighborhood School Family in all the fun! You are your child's first teacher and it's important for you to be involved and stay informed. I am here to help you keep informed and to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have. There are two primary ways of staying informed: Setting up our AmPark Owl Blog and the New York City Student Account (NYCSA). The Owl Blog sends out weekly or monthly information with important dates, events, and announcements. To sign up please go to http://www.amparkneighborhoodschool.org/ and on the top of the page you will be able to add your email to get notifications. The NYSCA account is important because you will be able to view your child's report card, transportation IEP, attendance, enrollment, and other relevant information that you might need for tax purposes, and update your contact information. If you need help creating it please let me know! You may get in touch with me by email at [email protected] or by phone at (401)702-7734. I am looking forward to our continued collaboration in supporting our children. BE INVOLVED! STAY INFORMED! Sincerely, Elvira De Jesus Parent Coordinator Comments are closed.
