Good day,
I hope this message finds you well. Please find attached the supply list for the upcoming school year.
Dear PS 54 Families and Community,
I hope this message finds you well and in the spirit of summer! As the school year has wraped up, I want to take a moment to wish all of you a season full of sunshine, relaxation, and time spent with loved ones. Whether you're traveling, enjoying local activities, or simply unwinding at home, I hope this summer brings you peace and joy.
In the upcoming school year, we will be starting school tours for families interested in learning more about our amazing school. If you'd like to meet virtually, I’d be happy to set up a Zoom meeting to talk about our school, its programs, and the enrollment process.
Feel free to reach out anytime via email at pshaw3@schools.nyc.gov. I’m here to help and look forward to connecting with you soon!
Enjoy every moment of this beautiful season, and I can’t wait to see everyone back in the fall.
Good Day,
I hope this message finds you well and that everyone arrived safely at their destinations this morning. As we embrace the colder months, we want to ensure everyone stays warm. If you need warm clothing, we invite you to visit our Closet of Love at the school.
Here, you can pick up clothing items to help keep you warm throughout the winter and the school year. We are happy to support and share a little love to make this season more comfortable for everyone.
"Kindness is like snow—it beautifies everything it covers." Let’s share warmth.
Stay warm and take care!
Buenos días, familias de PS 54

Dear Families,
We are excited to partner with you to help your child become a strong reader!
As part of the citywide NYC Reads initiative, your child’s teacher provides your child with daily research-based reading instruction. One of the best things you can do to support your child at home is to make reading fun and help them learn to love reading. You can do this by reading with your child or by encouraging them to read independently—in any language. But it can be tricky to find free and fun books for your child to read. On the back of this page are some tips to help you find books (hard copies, e-books, and audiobooks) that are free and fun for your child. Please reach out to your child’s teacher, librarian, or our Parent coordinator if you want to learn more.
With gratitude
Emma Velazquez
Principal PS 54K

What is NYC Reads?
This year, PS 54 - The Detective Rafael Ramos School will participate in NYC Reads, a citywide initiative to help all NYC Public Schools students become strong readers. Strong reading skills are essential for students to graduate from high school, access higher education, have successful careers, and create economic stability. And, strong reading skills are the foundation that will help our students become critical thinkers, capable of solving the problems of the future and carrying out the civic engagement activities necessary to sustain our democracy.
As part of NYC Reads, all K-5 schools use one of three evidence-based reading programs. Our district uses EL Education. The curriculum will help our children develop foundational reading skills and build knowledge about rich topics, like the Civil Rights Movement, the sea, or animal behavior and adaptations.
