8th Grade T-Shirt Contest
The deadline to submit an entry is December 1st. Designs are to be submitted to Ms. Runfolo (room 418), digitally or directly in person.
We are looking for a design that best represents the class of 2023, one that captures the spirit of our theme for this year, which ultimately speaks to reminding us that we are largely in control of our own outcomes through the choices we make, and realizing that our decisions, even seemingly the smallest of such, have an impact on those around us.

Paulo Student-Family Handbook
SCHOOL FOOD FORMS ARE NOW ONLINE
We are pleased to announce that all of our students at Frank D. Paulo Intermediate School 75 will be receiving free breakfast and lunch.

PLEASE PRINT OUT CONFIRMATION PAGE and have your child submit this to their advisory teacher.
We thank you for your assistance in regard to this matter. Once again, the application process enables us to get much needed funding for our school programs.
From the NYCDOE: Citywide Behavioral Expectations, Discipline Code, and Student Bill of Rights and Responsibilities
We ask that you, along with your child, review the Chancellor’s Citywide Behavioral Expectations to Support Student Learning (https://www.schools.nyc.gov/DCode), which includes the Discipline Code and outlines the K–12 Student Bill of Rights and Responsibilities (https://www.schools.nyc.gov/StudentRights), protections for students with disabilities, and expectations for student behavior. The Discipline Code outlines how school staff will address behavioral issues with a focus on restorative approaches.
Please discuss these behavioral expectations with your child. The Discipline Code applies to all students—and includes both supports and interventions, as well as disciplinary responses. Please note that the 2019–20 Discipline Code remains in effect for the 2022–23 school year. The full Discipline Code is available in all NYCDOE-supported languages at https://www.schools.nyc.gov/DCode and can be provided by your school in paper copy, upon request.
