Parking and Drop-Off
- Successes -
In response to parent and community concerns in regards to parking and drop off, the following was instituted this year:
A "Kiss-n-Go” lane on Jackson St.
Two staff members will continue to supervise the kiss-n-go lane and support students as they move onto the playground.
Communicated and encouraged parents and community members to park away from the school, and proceed to school by walking.Slide4
Parking and Drop Off
- Next Steps -
Contacted Valerie Barrientos (Department of Safety) to request installation of amber flashing lights to mark school zone.
Purchased traffic cones to block off “no parking zones around the perimeter of the school.
Parents who choose to park in the staff parking lot will be ticketed and towed away.Slide5

Continue
teaching Common Core State Standards through Engage NY mathematics curriculum.
Added
two Math Fellows for the 2017-2018 school year to support students who need an extra measure of support in Grade 4 and 5.
As a member of DPS’ HGT cohort, Teller is discussing implementation of a new math acceleration model. This model will meet the needs of all children who’s math instruction needs to be compacted and accelerated. This model will also include opportunities for end-of-unit projects.Slide6

Provide parent support through seminars, guest speakers, etc. to provide resources on how to parent a GT child.
Possible integration of math compacting and acceleration in all grade levels (1st-5th).
Increase parent volunteer opportunities that challenge our students (Brain Bowl,

- Next Steps -
During lunch recess primary and intermediate grades will no longer be separated on the playground. Students will have “free range” of the playground.
Reevaluate the 15 minute extras recess and the impact on instructional time.
Reinstate playground equipment caddies that will provide a larger variety of activities (hula hoops, jump ropes, footballs, chalk, Frisbees).
Lunch dismissal will be staggered based on children’s eating habits i.e. if they finish their lunch, they will no longer need to wait for the rest of their peers to go outside and vice a versa, when a child needs more than 20 minutes to eat, he/she will be provided that time.Slide12
