SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS!

6th - 8th Grade Students Electives

Dear Parents/Guardians and Students of PS/IS 48 Atlas Academy,

 
We hope you are having a wonderful summer!

We are excited to announce that we are continuing middle school choice electives again this school year.  We have changed some of our offerings for the 2018-2019 school year.  Electives will adhere to our school-wide grading policy.   All electives (with the exception of band) will change in January.  This will offer our students the opportunity to explore a variety of subjects and talents.

This is an exciting year for our Atlas Academy Middle School Band.  Ms. Maloney has partnered with Carnegie Hall to enrich the instruction and experience of our middle school band.   

All 6th - 8th grade students are asked to follow the link below. Please select your top 3 choices for elective classes for the 2018-2019 school year. Leave blank any electives you are NOT interested in. We will do our best to have all students in one of their top three choices. However, preference will go to our 8th grade students.

All students are asked to complete this form by August 31, 2018.

If you have any questions, you can call the school at 718-447-8323 starting on August 27.

Enjoy the rest of your summer.

    • 2018-2019 SONYC After School Program for IS 48 Students

      Greetings I.S. 48 families,

       

      NYCID is excited to welcome the SONYC after-school program back this year at I.S. 48!  Registration is happening now, so please download the application, complete, and return to the NYCID office at the school ASAP if you have not already done so.  All students are expected to complete a new application each year.  We only have 75 slots available so it is important to send in your applications now.  

       

      NYCID has been fortunate to have Mr. Q (Keith Quirke) as our SONYC Program Director for the past few years and we are wishing him much luck and success in his new role as Special Education Teacher at another school on Staten Island.  We will definitely miss Mr. Q and we thank him for his leadership.  

       

      NYCID is happy to introduce Ms. Emily Marks as the new SONYC Program Director at I.S. 48. Ms. Emily brings experience, energy, and a passion for youth development with her and we wish her much success in her new role.

       

      If your child is selected to participate in the SONYC program this year you will receive an email from Ms. Emily by September 4th.  You will be expected to attend the parent orientation, date TBD.   

       

      The first day of SONYC will be September 12th. The program will run from 2:20pm to 5:30pm.

       

      Thank you as always for your support of the NYCID programs at P.S./I.S. 48 and we wish you all a successful school year!
