    Principal's weekly letter 2/14/25

    Pivot to Remote Family Letter

    Dear Families,

     

    I want to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day and a wonderful Mid Winter Break. Reminder school will be closed the week of February 17th until 21st.  We will reopen on February 24th.

     

    This week there was an increase of students arriving late and requesting to eat breakfast. This is a reminder that  breakfast starts at 7:30am to 8:00 am. In addition we are starting to see an increase of students misplacing their jackets, coats and personal belongings. Reminder all personal belongings  must be carried with students throughout the day. 

     

    I am excited to announce that our ELA and Math before and after school enrichment programs will start to take place on March 4th and end on April 11th. The Program runs for 6 weeks.  ELA enrichment classes will meet on Tuesdays and Thursday morning from 7:00 AM- 8:00 AM and Thursday afternoon from 2:30-4:30 PM.  Math enrichment classes will meet on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings  from 7:00-8:00 a.m. and Wednesday afternoon from 2:30-4:30 p.m. The Enrichment Program is designed to help students prepare for either the ELA or Math State Exam. Your child will meet with an ELA or Math teacher once a week after school to practice going over test taking strategies and review state exams from the past years. This is a voluntary program and not mandatory.  In order to participate, permission slips must be returned to your child ELA or Math teacher. Classes are formed on a first come, first serve basis and there is not a guarantee of a class after this date.

     

    This past weekend I.S. 230 was fortunate to have 7 young musicians: Odhiti D, Jennifer K, Severin C, Alisha G, Paola B, Matilda P and Maite M participate in the NYSSMA Zone 12 Junior Area All State Festival held at Forest Hills High School.  The festival brings together 490 middle school students from 44 schools from all over New York City.  They worked hard to prepare their parts and then came together for a weekend of Music.  They rehearsed with renowned guest conductors to put together a concert in just two days.  We are proud of all your hard work and dedication.

     

    Our P.TA is conducting a February Fundraiser in conjunction with Elements Pizzeria. On Tuesdays and Fridays for the month of February Anyone ordering pizza from Elements on those days must tell them that they are from I.S. 230, and then the pizzeria will donate 10% back to the PTA. Note: Orders can only be made via phone/in-person and must be picked up in-person as well (no delivery, unfortunately).
