Uniform Policy
P.S. 128M is a uniform school. Our school uniform consists of a yellow top (ie: short/long sleeve polo, short/long sleeve button down) and a navy bottoms (ie: pants, skirt).
Please note that school uniforms must be worn on all field trips and participation in school-wide assemblies.
Why DO Schools Adopt a Uniform policy? (information from frenchtoast.com)
- Uniforms take the competition out of the dress
- Keeps the focus on Learning, not on clothes
- Everyone Fits in With Their School
- Safety! Easy to identify students & their school association
- Magnifies an image of success
To purchase uniforms, visit your local school uniform store, or try one of these online vendors (click for direct link):
Attendance Policy
According to the NYC DOE, "A student who is not in school for at least one class period must be marked absent, even if the absence is excused. Attendance records in the electronic system cannot be changed after the middle of July. However, attendance records may be amended by submitting a letter to the student's file."
"Every absence counts. Excused absences are still absences. Schools can excuse absences when a student misses school for religious, medical or emergency reasons, but the excused absences is a legal part of the student's record. Excused absences may not count against a student for school awards or participation in school activities."
Wellness Policy & Recess Plan
As part of the school's Comprehensive Educational Plan, we have created a goal for the 2018-2019 school year to support wellness.
By June 2019, 100% of students will engage in developmentally appropriate wellness instruction, as part of daily learning, in order to develop and maintain health related fitness awareness, as measured by student participation.
As a result, we have partnered with Columbia Presbyterian Hospital's CAM Program, Morningside Center for Teaching Social Responsibility, Dreamers, Move to Improve, and other Community Based Organizations to support the social emotional learning and physical health for all students.
