Here’s everything you need to know about the Book Fair at PS 23:
Dates: March 4th - 7th
Location: P.S.23 The New Children's School in Room 122 (across from the main office)
There’s even more info on our school’s Book Fair homepage: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/ps023newchildrensschool
While you’re there, set up a Book Fair eWallet, the digital payment account that allows your child to shop for books at the Fair without cash. Then share your eWallet link so friends and extended family can add funds. When you fund an eWallet, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to a giving initiative called Share the Fair™. Your contributions directly support our students who need help buying books from the Fair.

Dear Parents/Guardians:
Welcome back to the 2024-2025 school year! We hope you had a wonderful and relaxing summer vacation and are ready with your children to begin a new school year!
We look forward to providing a continuous educational process – 3K through 5th Grade.
Your children’s learning progress will be monitored monthly and periodic parent reports will be issued to you. In November, and in March, we urge you to attend Parent/Teacher Conferences to discuss your child’s developing progress. We would like to see every parent as we will not send home report cards with the students at these times. We hope you will remain in close contact with your child’s teacher to follow your child’s progress, as well as lending your support to your child throughout the academic year. We encourage your involvement in the school throughout the year!
On behalf of the Staff and myself, we welcome you to the start of a great new school year!
Sincerely,
Shirley Torres, Principal

This will give access to resources needed to continue learning as we enter this new phase of remote learning. This account is key to access everything you need to know regarding your children’s remote/blended learning.
You will need a code to create the account. You can find your child’s code by:
Locating it on your child’s report card
Connect by phone with your child’s teacher
A letter will be sent home containing your child’s code
