September 2024

Dear PS 230 Tigers,

Welcome back to a new and exciting school year at PS 230! We hope you had a wonderful and restful summer, filled with memorable moments with your loved ones. As we begin this academic year, we are thrilled to continue our partnership with you in your child’s educational journey. For our returning families, welcome back! For those who are new to our community, we extend a warm welcome and look forward to getting to know you. At PS 230, we are committed to providing a nurturing and engaging environment where every child can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

We are committed to fostering an environment where every student feels encouraged, inspired, and supported in their academic journey. We look forward to a year full of growth, learning, and meaningful connections.

Here are a few important reminders as we kick off the new school year:

First Day of School: The first day of school is Thursday, September 5th, 2024 . Please ensure your child arrives by 8:15 am to begin their day on time. Early breakfast/drop off will begin on Monday, September 9th, 2024.

Classroom Assignments: Your child’s classroom assignment was shared with you on their June report cards,  however things may have changed over the summer. If you have misplaced that information, want to clarify class number, or if you are new to our community there will be staff members available to help you find their homeroom teacher. We encourage you to meet your child’s teacher during our upcoming virtual Back-to-School Night on Thursday, September 12th, from 4:30 pm –7:30 pm.

School Supplies: A list of school supplies was sent home with report cards, you can also find these on PS230.org and on Class Dojo. Please stagger bringing in supplies, you don’t need to bring these all on the first day.

Communication: We believe in strong communication between school and home. Please feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher, our Parent Coordinator, or the main office with any questions or concerns. Class Dojo is how PS 230 administration, staff and teachers communicate with PS 230 families. Be sure to download this device onto your mobile device. Please be sure that only parents/guardians are using this app to communicate with PS 230 staff. 

We also encourage you to get involved in our school community. Whether it’s attending parent workshops, volunteering, or joining our Parent-Teacher Association or attending SLT, your involvement is key to your child’s success.

We look forward to a year filled with learning, growth, and collaboration. Together, let’s make this school year a remarkable one for our students!

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to PS 230. Let’s make this year the best one yet!

Warm regards,
Maria Della Ragione
Principal, PS 230
