This Week @PS 88Q
February 24th, 2024
A Message From Mrs. O'Shaughnessy
I hope everyone had a wonderful week. We return to school tomorrow for the final few days of February and the beginning of March! This year is flying for sure.
The week before break was filled with so many events, workshops, classroom activities, celebrations and fun! Our concert, our basketball team had a game and won, parent workshops, open houses, and so much more. PS 88Q is always busy, and the remaining months of the school year will be just as eventful.
All families received the NYC Survey before the break. This is an important survey, as we want to hear from you all. I have included some information regarding the survey below. Please complete, and inform you child's teacher when it is complete. All classes with 100% will have a pizza party!
Next week, March 7, we will be distributing your child's second report card. Parent Teacher Conferences are the same day. It is a half-day of school, with dismissal at 11:20am, allowing the teachers the afternoon and evening to meet with parents. Your child's teachers will be reaching out regarding scheduling.
Have a wonderful week!

PS 88Q Band Performances
On February 15th, all the students had the opportunity to enjoy their fellow classmates perform. The student musicians, from grades 3 to 5, performed their themed concert "All You Need Is Love". Wow! Their hard work, and practice showed. They were truly wonderful.
On Friday, February 16th, the band took their show on the road, and performed at the Peter Cardillo Senior Center. So amazing! The audience at the center loved the show too! Great work Mr. Dumont and your concert band.
NYC School Survey
Your School. Your Child. Your Voice.
Every year, we ask all families, teachers, and staff in grades 3-K through 12, and students in grades 6-12 to take the NYC School Survey. The survey gives school leaders a better understanding of what members of their school community think about their school. The information collected by the survey is designed to support a dialogue among all members of the school community about how to make the school a better place to learn.
The 2024 NYC School Survey launched February 12 and will close on April 5, 2024.
Family Game Night
Come join us for a night of fun! Enjoy playing traditional board games in an unplugged game night!
