Inspirational Quote

In education, everyday is a new adventure. A student learns a concept, another is able to complete a task independently, another learns to play and enjoy a game, while another beams with pride at completing a project, another shows improvement in his interpersonal actions, another adventures to try a new vegetable at the salad bar, etc. There are so many big and small moments for students at school every day. Over the course of the year, these moments compound and result in growth and maturity.


Each member of the Tiger staff contributes to the overall educational experience and helps create a supportive and nurturing environment for students to learn and grow. Thank you for everything that you do everyday. As we wrap up Teacher and Staff Appreciation week, know that each person on the Tiger Team is making a difference in the lives of our students.


I deeply appreciate you. It's an honor to be part of the Tiger village.

Ms. Munoz

A special thank you to Ms. Jacqualin Jackson for providing an amazing sound bath experience for teachers. Another huge thanks goes out to Ms. Simoe Sapolu, Q'West's mom, for the amazing massage experience. She provided teachers with massages from 8:15am to 2:15pm. Everyone raved about how amazing and relaxed they felt. Our teachers deserved to be pampered!


Again, THANK YOU for making this week so special for the Tiger Team.

Summer School 2024

Tiger Families,

All students were given a paper Summer School and Summer Beyond the Bell (BTB) application this past week. If you are interested in your child attending one or both, please fill out the application(s) and return it to the Main Office by Friday, 5/17/2024.


Summer school will be at Purche ES and Avalon Gardens ES. Please indicate your preferred site. If you would like your child to attend Summer Beyond the Bell after they finish Summer School, please indicate that on the BTB application.


153rd St Elementary School will also host Beyond the Bell. Hours are from 8:00AM to 6:00PM. Students must arrive no later than 8:30AM. We will be providing breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack. If you would like your child to participate in the Summer BTB program here at 153rd St ES, please complete the application and indicate 153rd St ES as your preferred site.


Regarding Summer BTB, you must complete the application even if your child currently attends BTB. The summer program is seperate from the one during the regular school year.


Please note that submitting an application for any summer program does not guarantee a seat in the program.

End of Year Assessments

Tiger Families,

We are currently working on end of year assessments. Please ensure your child is present each day and arrives on time. Please make every effort to not check them out early so they don't miss out on testing. Thank you for your consideration.
