Summer Rising 2026

Dear PS101 Families,

NYCPS is partnering with the Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) to offer Summer Rising in 2026. Summer Rising connects elementary and middle school students to fun, hands-on experiences that strengthen their academic, social, and emotional skills. Summer Rising is free, and open to any NYC student currently in kindergarten through grade 8. More information regarding programming dates and hours will be shared at schools.nyc.gov/SummerRising when the application opens on March 3.

Summer Rising includes NYCPS-led academics and enrichment activities held by DYCD Community Based Organizations (CBOs). Free breakfast and lunch are provided. For more information, please visit schools.nyc.gov/SummerRising .

Summer Rising MySchools Application

The application is open from March 3–March 27, 2026. To apply, log in to your MySchools.nyc(Open external link) account if you already have one, or create one using your email address, your child’s nine-digit student ID number, and their MySchools account creation code, which you can get from your child’s school. If you have used MySchools to apply for summer or school year programs, your child may already be added to your account. Note that MySchools is a separate account from your NYCSA.

There are no limits to how many programs families can add to their application. Adding more programs increases your chances of being placed in a program of your choice.

This process is not first-come, first-served; all applications received by the deadline will be treated the same based on admissions priorities.

100th Day Of School

Dear PS 101 Families,

Due to our recent snow day, our 100th Day of School shifted to Wednesday, February 25th! We are excited to celebrate a very special milestone with the 100th Day of School! Over the past 100 days, our students have grown in so many ways. They have learned new skills, built friendships, solved problems, discovered interests, and strengthened their confidence as learners.

From reading stories and mastering math strategies to working together and showing kindness, each day has helped shape the strong classroom communities we see today. To celebrate 100 days of learning, our staff will be engaging students in fun and meaningful 100th Day activities.

This celebration is not just about counting days, but it is about recognizing the effort, perseverance, and curiosity our students demonstrate every day. We are proud of how much they have accomplished and grateful for the continued support of our families in helping our students succeed.

Thank you for partnering with us in your child’s learning journey. 

Sincerely,

Mr. G. Korrol

Principal

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Dear PS 101 Families,

I would like to extend my heart-felt gratitude to all the staff that braved this morning’s commute to come to PS101. While we had a large amount of staff absences, many found a way to get here.

A tremendous thank you to our teachers, paras, support staff, kitchen workers and safety agent for being here today.

I would also like to say an extra special thank you to our custodial team who literally slept in the school on Sunday night to ensure they worked all night Sunday and all day Monday to clear our sidewalks and schoolyard.

And, undoubtedly a huge shout-out to our amazing Assistant Principals, Mrs. Kane, Mrs, Percaccio and Mr.Damiano for coordinating and programming the school day in the midst of a lot of ongoing changes.
