Mrs. Beutel
My name is Katie Beutel. I have been working at PS 19 for 12 years and this is my 9th year teaching 2nd grade. I received both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Manhattan College.
I have two little boys – Luke is 5 years old and just started Kindergarten, and Jack is 2 years old. I grew up in Yonkers and still live there with my family.
I am looking forward to a great year for your children.

Marking Period Dates
We are committed to ensure that your child is present for the full day of instruction regularly. Students are expected at school each day of the school term. This supports consistency in learning for your child. Attendance is a direct correlation to student achievement. Please take time to read the Importance of Attendance. Attendance is digitally taken in the DOE Attendance Application. Arrival is expected at 8:10 for all students. Lateness is also documented. Late is any time after 8:21 a.m. Please review your child’s attendance to ensure accuracy. You can check your child's attendances/latenesses by logging into your NYCSA account. https://www.schoolsaccount.nyc/ When an absence occurs, all students are required to send in a note for more than 1 day explaining the absence. You can also notify the school by emailing the teacher and cc Ms. Lisowy @SLisowy@schools.nyc.gov prior to 8:00 a.m. of each day. Attendance is taken twice a day on the DOE attendance app. If you receive a notice that your child is absent but they are not, please notify the school. Lateness sometimes is not corrected until after the letter is sent on the digital system.
ATTENDANCE AND MAKE-UP WORK
If a child is absent or late, grades, coursework, or exams could be affected. Here is what you need to know regarding our grading policies and how we support our students with make-up work: *** EX: Lateness to class may result in a lower class average due to the loss of instructional time in activities such as classroom participation, examinations (Quizzes/full period exams), dialogs, speeches, group work, lab work, etc. Students are not required to make up the exact hours of missed instructional time. If students master course content and satisfactorily meet expectations outlined in the syllabus, they will receive credit for the course. Chronic absence is a measure of students who have missed 10% or more of days in which they were enrolled in the school year.
