Dear Parents:
We would like to extend a warm welcome to all of our students, parents and guardians for the 2019 – 2020 school year. We look forward to a challenging year focused on high expectations for academic achievement, as well as enrichment activities which make School 17 an ideal learning environment for your child.
We will host several parent workshops to explain and teach you how to assist your child with the State exams. We will continue with our Extended Learning Time Program this year.

The Yonkers Public Schools provide transportation for students that live more than 1 ½ miles away from the school. It usually takes one month for students to get to know their bus numbers. To help them familiarize themselves with the process, all students in Pre-Kindergarten through grade 1 will be given a color-coded plastic wristband to match the color assigned to their bus. The wristbands are plastic and very durable. Students can bathe with them and should not remove them until October.

Enjoy the rest of the summer and if you have any questions or concerns you can reach me during the month of August at the above number. I look forward to working with you during the 2019– 2020 school year.
Very truly yours, New Class:
Mr. Brian Curtis
