Summer Assignments
All students currently in Kindergarten through Grade Seven must complete their summer homework assignments. Each link contains specific instructions for students in specific grades. Students will benefit from the practice and retain more of the content they learned this year.
All K-5 students will also have access to log onto Reflex Math to practice their fact fluency. All students will have access to Edmentum for both reading and math. We encourage all students to complete Edmentum assignments on a weekly basis to keep their skills strong.
In addition, we ask that each child reads daily for at least 30 minutes and completes a reading assignment. For your convenience, all of the links to summer homework practice can be accessed here.
Your child's teacher will collect any handwritten work in September. Online work is accessible to the teacher as your child completes it and will be checked in September as well.

Good Morning PS/IS 48 Families,
We are happy to announce we are once again teaming up with School Tool Box to deliver school supply packages right to your home. This is a great way to support the school, last year we sold over 200 boxes raising over $600. Please see the attached flyer for more information.
*Note: Some items may not be available through School Tool Box
Our school is using ParentSquare!
* What is ParentSquare:
ParentSquare is a parent engagement tool that helps teachers and staff easily communicate and collaborate with parents. ParentSquare will now be used to send messages to families, share pictures and request participation. Parent Square will be used to communicate with families in grades Pre-K through Grade 8!
* Replacing ClassDojo and Remind:
We will use Parent Square to communicate with you and keep you informed about what your child is doing in class, send out reminders and share other information. It will replace ClassDojo and Remind. We will continue to use Operoo (for now) as an additional communication tool school wide.
* ParentSquare Launch:
We launched ParentSquare, school-wide, on Tuesday! All families were invited to join ParentSquare through an email sent out Wednesday afternoon. ParentSquare was explained at the PTA meeting last night. We need everyone linked to the ParentSquare account by November 28th.

Welcome to the 2023-2024 School Year!
Dear Families,
At PS/IS 48 we work hard to make dismissal safe for our students and quick for our parents/guardians. Over the past few weeks, we have noticed an increase in the number of parents/guardians who are double parked during dismissal. This causes an unsafe situation for our students, staff and families. At no time should you leave your car unattended while your car is double parked.
Please be reminded of the following safety protocols for arrival and dismissal:
Students should only cross the street at the corners, Never cross in the middle of the street.
Always exit the car on the curb side of the street.
Please do not double or triple park.
Please do not block driveways. Please respect our neighbors
Please do not park in the staff parking lot.
Drive slowly and cautiously.
If children are waiting at the corner please allow them to cross the street safely.
Move your car promptly when asked by a school safety member. Remember, their primary concern is the safety of all children.
Thank you for your continued partnership.
Sincerely,
Allison O'Donnell
Principal
