Dear Friends,

Please be advised that due to the extension of the registration period for public school Pre-K programs, the NYC DOE has decided to extend the Gifted and Talented Assessment process for Pre-K students. This week, information and Request for Testing forms will be mailed to all parents/guardians of Pre-K students. If a parent/guardian wishes to have his/her child tested, the Request for Testing form (RFT) must be returned to school no later than February 9, 2009. Please note: Pre-K students already scheduled for testing should not resubmit the form.
Sample tests are included in the Gifted and Talented Program Test Information handbook and will be made available to all parents who submit a Request for Testing form. If you have any further questions, please contact the Main Office and ask for Mrs. Perrone.

Educationally Yours!
Mrs. Lubeck-Ceffalia

Dear Friends,

Just a Reminder: This week is Open School Week! If you wish to visit your child's class, please follow the guidelines established by the DOE.


If you want to visit your child’s class, please contact Mrs. Garguilo, our parent coordinator to schedule a visit on a day and time that is convenient and will not disrupt the school’s instructional program. It is generally not a good idea to visit schools during morning line-up, change of classes, testing periods, or dismissal. When you are visiting a school, do not disrupt your child’s class. Talking to your children during classroom visits is discouraged.

Remember, at P.S. 132, you are always welcome to schedule a classroom visit. Classroom visits are not limited to Open School Week!!

Looking Forward to Seeing Everyone on Thursday for Parent Teacher Conferences!
Educationally yours!
Mrs. Lubeck-Ceffalia

Dear Friends,

The 2008-2009 Gifted and Talented Handbook, for families of students in Grades Pre-K - Grade 2, are expected to arrive on October 29, 2008. When we receive the books, I will inform our families that the handbooks are available. Families interested in testing their children for the G & T Program must complete the "RFT" (Request for Testing), which is included in the handbook, by Wednesday, November 19, 2008. Students will be tested if an "RFT" has been submitted according to birth year. Students born in 2003-2004 will be tested from January 5 - February 13. Students born in 2000 - 2001 will be tested from February 23 - March 20.

Educationally Yours!
