This Week @ PS 88Q

I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend. It was another busy week this past week! We had our Student Council Elections, some class trips, Veterans Day Celebrations and we kicked off our World Cup Activities! Stay tuned for the pictures of each classroom, representing their country. The main office picked The United States in the random selection. We are all excited to see our school transform into the World Cup Stage! Make sure you ask your child which country their class is hosting!

Good evening Fifth Grade Families,

It's time for our fifth-grade students apply to middle school! In order to apply, you must open a myschools account. Ms. Ramos visited classrooms Friday , to remind the fifth graders to create their middle school applications in myschools and answered any questions they may have. All creation codes were printed for the students that have not created an application, in the event they did not receive the copy mailed to their homes. Our goal is to have all middle school applications submitted by November 30th. We did a great job meeting our deadline last year; as a team we can get our students to apply early before the December 1st deadline. If you have any questions about the middle school application process, please don't hesitate to ask me. MRamos71@schools.nyc.gov
