Graduation Family Notice 2024
Graduation Information
- Graduation will take place on Friday, June 21st, 2024 @10 AM at The College of Staten Island.
- Parents will be notified via our school aides as to whether we were able to honor their request, and to what extent, within approximately a week to 10 days of June 1st.
- As this year’s class is sizable, assuming we receive a high volume of requests, most families will receive only one additional ticket.
- Graduation gowns will be distributed in mid-June.
- Last, all students will receive their complete allocation of tickets on the day before the ceremony, during Panther Day.
Graduation Ticket Update as on Monday, June 3rd
We are no longer accepting requests for additional graduation tickets. Requests already made will be honored to the extent possible and students will receive their complete allocation of tickets on Thursday, June 20. If you made a request for tickets, please note that due to the high number of graduates, seating limitations at CSI, and the high volume of requests, it is likely one additional ticket will be granted in most cases. You will be notified of the status of your request over the next 5-7 school days. Also, students will receive their graduation gowns the week of June 10-14.

NYC Teenspace: Free Mental Health Support Program
The DOE is helping to promote a new program offered by the NYC Health Department for NYC teens. NYC Teenspace, powered by Talkspace offers NYC teens ages 13–17 virtual therapy with a licensed therapist, at no cost. Teens can be connected to a licensed therapist for ongoing support and/or can access online mental health exercises to complete on their own. Teens can sign up for this program on their own by following these steps. Note that teens do not need to be experiencing mental health symptoms to participate and can discuss their thoughts and feelings about their day-to-day life with a Talkspace therapist.

School Spirit Days 2023-2024
The list of our upcoming school spirit days throughout 2023 - 24. Here at Paulo, we understand the importance of cultivating a sense of student pride and ownership across our hallways and classrooms. We believe that this sense of warmth and optimism allows our students to feel valued and welcomed each and every day and makes Paulo a place where all students can flourish. To this end, we enlist your support in ensuring your child participates in our various Paulo Pride days. We are sharing this calendar of events with you now because we realize on some occasions you may need to secure a special outfit or piece of apparel. Every Friday students are encouraged to wear Paulo apparel. Students who have Paulo pajama pants can only wear them on Fridays. Again, our goal is 100% student participation, and we can’t do it without you!
