PS130M - Updates and Reminders from PS 130M

Dearest Families,

We hope this message finds you well.

This morning, we successfully completed our fourth evacuation drill (just two more to go before Winter Break). We are also planning to conduct a Soft Lockdown Drill this coming Friday. For more information about New York City Public Schools’ emergency readiness procedures and protocols, please visit: https://www.schools.nyc.gov/school-life/safe-schools/emergency-readiness.

This Wednesday evening, September 17th, teachers will be hosting virtual Parent-Teacher Information Sessions for families. Teachers will share additional details and virtual links directly with you, as times and sessions will vary by class.

A gentle reminder: our school day begins at 8:15 a.m., and students arriving after 8:25 a.m. will be marked late.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and understanding!

With appreciation,

P.S. 130 Hernando De Soto (Manhattan)

Dear Parents and Guardians of Pre-K to 5 Graders,

 

The Parents Association plays an important role in our school by supporting the initiatives of the Principal and administration. The PA serves as the main information center for many parents unfamiliar with the Board of Education and our school. We are responsible for the many annual fundraising events, school parties, book sales, workshops and school fairs; which helps pays for all the art programs and administrative things that are not covered by the Board of Education or Department of Education (DOE).  None of this would be possible without your participation and support.

There will be a Parents Association General Meeting for all in the auditorium on Thursday,    September 18, 2025 at 8:45AM.  The topics to be discussed are

• Principal welcoming
• Introduction of board members
• Reading and Approval of Minutes
• PA Financials: June 2025 Treasurer’s Report
• Upcoming Events

o   Cherrydale Catalog Fundraising started Monday, September 22

o   Bake Sale – Wednesday, October 8

o   School Photo Days – Thursday, October 9 & Friday, October 10

o   Parents Association General Meeting – Thursday, October 16

o   Scholastic Book Fair – Friday, October 24 – Thursday, October 30

o   Candy Sale Fundraiser Order and Payment Deadline – Friday, October 24

o   Halloween Dance Party – Friday, October 31

• Principal's remarks/announcements
• Any parent issues, questions or proposals

Please come to our meeting!  

Thank you.

PS 130M - Thank you for a Wonderful Start to the School Year

Dearest Families,

It was truly wonderful to see everyone back at school today! Thank you for your continued support, understanding, and for helping us kick off an amazing first day of school.

A quick reminder: if you are bringing in a large number of supplies, please be sure that all bags are clearly labeled so we can ensure they are delivered to your child’s classroom.

We also want to let families know that we will begin our school evacuation drills next week (weather permitting), as we are required to complete six by the end of December. In addition, we will be hosting a Virtual Safety Town Hall Meeting & Information Session on Tuesday, September 9th at 2:45 p.m. via Zoom.

As we reminded our children today—let’s make this a GOLDEN school year! 🙂
