Connecting with you, our families.
Communication between parents and school is fundamental. Any time you have questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact your child's teacher, our Parent Coordinator, or Principal Solomon. We encourage you to use Class Dojo to message your child’s teacher. Link Class Dojo to your email account so you can stay up to date on communications from the school. If you need to speak to the Principal, you may send an email to ISolomo@schools.nyc.gov or call the school and leave a message at (718) 857-9820. You can also email any staff member.
During instructional time, phone calls cannot be forwarded directly to the classroom. You may leave a message for the teacher and they may return your call during their preparation period or Parent Engagement time, which all teachers have weekly. Please email your child’s teacher to make an appointment if you need to speak directly with him or her.
