2026-2027 Welcome Letter for Parents/2026-2027学年致家长欢迎信/Carta de bienvenida para padres (2026-2027)

Dear Parents/Guardians:

I want to take this opportunity to wish each and every one of you a restful summer spent making memories with family and friends.   Cheers to a wonderful summer!

September will be here before you know it.  The chart below provides you with important information about next year.   To ease the burden of dropping school supplies off on the first day of school, we have arranged for drop-off on September 1st.  Please make sure you put your child’s name on all bags/supplies. 

In anticipation of a new soccer field in our 159th Street schoolyard, we will be keeping the same dismissal assignments as the 2025-2026 school year.

The first day of school for all children in grades Pre-K through Grade 5 is Thursday, September 10th.

Visit our website at www.ps163.org for a school supply list.
