We were thrilled to welcome our first cohorts of Youngers students to campus this week! Students ran into their classrooms with joy and enthusiasm. Thank you to all parents for adhering to our new guidelines and protocols.

We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Devorah Heitner on October 27, 2020 at 5:30pm! Join us for a conversation on navigating school & screens during COVID 19. In our new REALM, do you wonder...
- How much "screen time" is too much?
- How much video time is too much?
- Are social skills at risk?
- How do you ensure safety on the internet?
- How can a child focus with so many distractions?

Olders students explored the scientific method by investigating if butter makes a better cake! Students broke into groups and baked cakes with butter, oil, and margarine. The students concluded butter does make a better cake. This was a VERY fun activity!

Ever wonder about the results of a PS1 education? The best example all year occurs at Life After PS1 when we get to showcase our empowered 9-12 grade alumni as they return to describe how PS1 helped set the foundation for later life.

Youngers students are thinking about the year ahead and sharing their Hopes and Dreams. Students shared their desires to grow their brains as readers, authors, artists, gamers, and mathematicians. There was a consensus among the students that they can't wait to play together at PS1!

PS1 plans to move forward with an on-campus learning model this fall once the County permits. We have designed a new web page to provide a detailed overview of our preparation, our program, our health and safety protocols, and our procedures including FAQs. CLICK HERE to learn about our On-Campus Learning plan in great detail.

This issue highlights our Distance Learning Community Program and features stories and memories from PS1 during the 1980s.

Graduation for the Class of 2020 was memorable indeed! Since we couldn't gather together as a community, we developed creative ways to honor our grads.

At PS1, two lead teachers in every classroom are central to our mission. This model of collaboration occurs at every level of the school. CLICK HERE to learn how we foster this model whether through in-person or through our Distance Learning Community Program.
