MyLibraryNYC
Your child will be receiving a new NYPL library card. Our school has been selected to participate in a pilot program entitled My Library NYC.  Your child may already have a library card , but this card come with additional privileges.
The biggest advantage being there are NO FINES OR FEES attached to the card.  What this means is you will no longer have to pay a late fee for an overdue book or a fine for a lost book.  This is a great savings for our students and families. 
The only catch is....
If you are 12 years of age or younger, a parent must complete and return a permission form before we can give you the new card.  You child should have come home with a permission slip for this program, however if they lost it, I have put a link up to the permission slip.
Please sign them and return them so you can be part of this wonderful program.
All of these cards have been set with a default pin number of 2012.
 
If you have any questions about the program, feel free to call or email Mrs. Poser at the school.

From the Principal

Dear I.S. 24 School Community:


Thank you for taking the time to visit our School Web site which is graciously funded by our school's PTA.  As we begin the 2012-2013 school year, we look forward to fresh starts for our returning students, new journeys for our incoming sixth graders and writing the last chapter for our eighth graders.  We all look forward again to build on our accomplishments and success from last year such as the PTAs fundraising for air conditioning in the cafeteria; our Performing Arts Departments production of Willy Wonka; our increased response rate to the School Environment Survey; the School Health Fair and so much more.



We hope you will join us in all the school has to offer and take part in achieving continued success in the 12-13 school year!

                                                                                                            Sincerely,

Lenny Santamaria
Principal
