Our care close is growing
Dear Families,
At P.S. 273, we understand that our youngest learners are still mastering independence. Accidents and spills can happen during the school day—whether in the bathroom, the lunchroom, or during play.
While the school sometimes has extra clothing on hand, we kindly ask that all students in 3K, Pre-K, and Kindergarten bring an extra set of clothing, including:
👕 Shirts
👖 Pants/skirts/shorts
🧦 Socks
🩲 Underwear
These items should be kept in your child’s backpack or cubby in a labeled, sealed bag. Having spare clothing available ensures that your child can return to learning and play comfortably if an accident occurs.
Thank you for partnering with us to make sure every child feels safe, clean, and cared for throughout the day. 💛
With appreciation,
P.S. 273 School Team
Accepting donations year-round
We also keep a small collection of gently used clothing on hand for families in need. If you have items your child has outgrown and would like to share, please bring them to the Parent Coordinator’s office. Your generosity ensures that no student goes without the essentials.
Together, we can make sure every child in our school community feels supported.

Department of Education Policy on Changing Children’s Clothing
Department of Education Policy on Changing Children’s Clothing
For the safety and comfort of all students, the Department of Education maintains the following policy regarding clothing changes in the event of accidents:
- Student Privacy: School staff are not permitted to physically change a child’s clothing. Staff will provide guidance and support while ensuring the child’s dignity and privacy are respected.
- Extra Clothing: Parents/guardians are strongly encouraged to send an extra set of labeled clothing (including underwear and socks) for children in 3K, Pre-K, and Kindergarten. These items should be kept in the child’s backpack in case of an accident.
- Emergency Clothing Supply: The school may have a limited supply of extra clothing on hand. However, it is not guaranteed that sizes will be available.
- Parent Notification: If a child requires a change of clothes and does not have a spare set, the parent/guardian will be contacted and asked to bring clothing to the school.
- Hygiene and Safety: Students will be supported in cleaning up as independently as possible, with staff providing supervision and encouragement as needed.
This policy ensures that all children are cared for with respect, while maintaining professional boundaries and school safety guidelines.
