• A Night of Celebration and Preparation: ENL Award & WIDA Information Night!

  What a wonderful evening we had in the school library! Last week, our English as a New Language (ENL) Department hosted a very special event dedicated to celebrating our students and empowering our families.

  The evening was divided into two important parts:

  • ENL Award Celebration: We kicked off the night by recognizing the incredible hard work, dedication, and language growth of our ENL students. Seeing the pride on our students' faces as they received their awards was truly the highlight of the week!

  • WIDA Assessment Parent Info Session: Following the awards, we transitioned into an informational session for our parents. Our educators discussed the upcoming WIDA Assessment, which will be taking place next school year. We covered what the assessment entails, how it measures language proficiency, and how families can support their children at home to ensure they feel confident and prepared.

  A huge thank you to all the families who joined us. Your partnership is essential to our students' success, and we are so grateful for your continued support of our ENL community.

  If you were unable to attend but would like more information regarding the WIDA Assessment, please reach out to the ENL Department!

• 109's Robotics Club at the Adelphi University Statewide S.T.E.P. Robotics Competition

  On Friday, May 30th, 2026, the I.S. 109 Robotics Club competed in the Adelphi University Science and Technology Entry Program (S.T.E.P.) Robotics Competition. It was an exhilarating day where our students showcased their technical expertise, teamwork, and communication skills.

   

  The teams were highly competitive throughout the day, successfully navigating the preliminary matches to reach the high-stakes knockout rounds. After a series of intense challenges, I.S. 109 finished an impressive 4th place overall.

   

  In addition to the robots' performance on the field, the students were required to present their "journey" to a panel of judges. They performed exceptionally well, articulating their design process and team growth with great confidence.

   

  While the ranking was a major achievement, the students most value the wonderful time, lasting memories, and cherished experience they had collaborating with their teammates, and peers in a professional university setting. We are incredibly proud of how they represented I.S. 109!

   

  ***** Congratulations to our talented robotics team for representing I.S. 109 so brilliantly! *****

• District 29 Math Champions: Our Students Dominated Game 24 Competition!

  We are thrilled to announce that our students achieved incredible success at last Friday’s District 29 Game 24 Competition.

  This district-wide event is part of a commitment to academic excellence and focuses on fostering mathematical fluency through engaging, high-stakes competition.

  Our students showcased their mental math prowess and problem-solving skills, bringing home several top honors:

  • The District Award (Overall Winner)
  • 1st Place: Grade 8
  • 1st and 3rd Place: Grade 7
  • 2nd Place: Grade 6

  What is Game 24? It is a fluency game where students use four numbers and basic arithmetic, using rules of order of operations, to create the number 24. This challenges them to develop quick mental math skills and enhances their ability to think critically under pressure.

   

  *****A massive thank you to Coach Pugliese for her dedicated time in preparing our students for this event. *****

   

  As one student winner shared, "I feel really, really great being the winner today... I feel pretty proud of myself and our teams".

   

  We are equally proud of all our participants for representing our school with such excellence!
