Greetings WCSS Families:

Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year of the Waterside Children’s Studio School, P.S. 317. If you are new to our school, I would like to welcome you to our school family. We are very excited to meet you and your child! As we enter a new school year, my hope is that we will continue to move in the direction of high academic achievement and college and career readiness for ALL of our children aligned to the Next Generation Learning Standards (PK-2) and Common Core Learning Standards (3-5).

Just a reminder, our school day begins promptly at 8:00AM, with doors opening at 7:30AM for breakfast. Beginning Monday, September 9th, all students in K-5 will enter from the back of the school building facing Beach 109th Street. Pre-K arrival and dismissal is in their classrooms beginning at 7:30AM and dismissal is at 2:20PM. At 2:20PM, K-2 dismisses in the small yard and 3-5 dismisses in the big yard behind the school by Beach 109th Street.
