Speech & OT Providers
Despite our best efforts we have not been able to secure an OT or Speech provider through the DOE. We are asking that if you have any personal/professional connections in these service areas to please share them with Msierra@brooklynprospect.org or Lmirabito@brooklynprospect.org. We are hopeful that with your help, we can still provide in school services this year. In the event that we are unsuccessful, all students with service mandates will receive Related Service Authorization (RSA) for out side of school services.

Second Grade Visits The Drawing Center
We are excited to head over to the Drawing Center later this month. This on-site workshop will engage our students with The Drawing Center's exhibitions through a guided tour and hands-on project. Specific works will be discussed in detail in order to practice sustained observation and encourage more personal and thoughtful responses, all of which will help kick off our IB Unit on communication!
Friday Park Slope Armory Visits
As the weather gets colder, we will begin to miss some of our trips to Fort Greene Park. In an effort to provide our students with ample playtime, we have made arrangements to bus our students over to the Park Slope Armory.
Kindergarten, First and Second grade will visit the armory on a rotating schedule until the end of March. Want to join us? Sign up below!
