  • Welcome Back Letter

    Dear Families of Teachers Prep High School,

    I hope this letter finds you well and rejuvenated after the summer break. As we approach the start of a new school year, I want to extend a warm welcome to all our returning families and a special welcome to those joining us for the first time. We are excited to embark on another year of learning, growth, and community-building at Teachers Prep High School.

    The first day of school is fast approaching! We will begin on **Thursday, September 5, 2024**, and classes will start promptly at **8:20 a.m.** We encourage all students to arrive early, allowing time to settle in, meet friends, and prepare for a productive day of learning. A strong start sets the tone for the year, and we are committed to ensuring every student feels welcomed and ready to engage in their education.

    As a reminder, our school has a dress code that helps maintain a focused and respectful learning environment. Detailed information about the dress code is available on our website at teachersprep.org](http://teachersprep.org). You may place orders We ask that families review these guidelines together to ensure that students are prepared for the first day.

    Our dedicated teachers, staff, and I have been working diligently over the summer to prepare engaging lessons, enhance our programs, and foster a safe and inclusive environment for all. We believe that a strong partnership between home and school is essential for student success. Subsequently, we encourage open communication and invite you to reach out with any questions or concerns. You may reach us at (718) 498-3605 or jshirle3@schools.nyc.gov

    Please mark your calendars for our **Back-to-School Night** on **September 26, 2024**, where you will have the opportunity to meet your child's teachers, learn more about our curriculum, and discover ways to get involved in the school community.

    Together, we can make this school year one of growth, achievement, and memorable experiences for all our students. Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to a fantastic year ahead at Teachers Prep High School.

    Warm regards,

Peer Group Connect

   

Upcoming Event: Orientation, September 2024

Peer Group Connection (PGC) is an evidence-based program that supports and eases students’ successful transition from middle to high school. The program taps into the power of high school juniors and seniors to create a nurturing environment for incoming freshmen. Once per week, pairs of junior and senior peer leaders meet with groups of 6-8 freshmen in outreach sessions designed to strengthen relationships among students across grades. These peer leaders are simultaneously enrolled in a daily, for-credit, year-long leadership course taught by school faculty during regular school hours. 

Services found that, among other major results, PGC improves the graduation rates of student participants in an inner city public school by ten percentage points and cuts by half the number of male students who would otherwise drop out.
