I.S. 281 Joseph B. Cavallaro Home

Good morning Cavallaro community,

I am excited to share the attached letter with you, detailing that the New York State Education Department (NYSED) has designated IS 281 JOSEPH B CAVALLARO for the Local Support and Improvement (LSI) support model for the 2025-26 school year, based on 2024-25 data.

Good afternoon,

Every year, the DOE asks families, teachers and staff of students in grades 3-K through 12, and students in grades 6-12 to take the NYC School Survey.

Good morning Cavallaro families,

I just want to commend everyone on the success of our remote instructional day last week. Our teachers put together excellent virtual live lessons, our students all enthusiastically took part, and our support staff were on point assisting in their own individual capacities.

Students will engage in following activities: 3D Printing, Lego WeDo, Lego EV3, Hydroponics, Flight Simulators.

The Cavallaro STEM program with a concentration in Technology will focus on several major concepts relating to STEM and building 21st Century skills.

STEM ENGINEERING at IS 281 is all about preparing you for the Challenges of the Future.  Students learn and implement the Engineering Design Process in their everyday lives.

The STEM Math Talent Program is a perfect opportunity for students to learn about financial literacy, investing and entrepreneurship.

Through a formal study of a range of styles, techniques and genres, including their own social dances, students expand their perception of dance and demonstrate a variety of skills.

Students learn the fundamental building blocks of art and how it relates to all art media. Those that have prior experience with art will have opportunities to advance their level to suit individual needs, while beginners will be able to accomplish new goals.

Our Athletics talent program is aligned with the New York State Learning Standards for Physical Education.
