Summer is coming

Hello, parents and families of P255Q,

I hope this letter finds you all well. Many families may not be aware that P255Q is comprised of ten site locations within the borough of Queens. Each of the sites that your child attends are itself a small village that is connected to create our P255Q community. A community is a group of people living/working together in one place, especially one practicing a common cause’. Our school has and will continue to explore meaningful opportunities to invite families to our school, organizations to educate us all, and local politicians to support our school. So far this school year, we have engaged with multiple partners to improve our school and give each P255Q student an enriching experience.

I hope you have been able to attend and participate in one of the engagement activities noted on the P255Q school calendar. Our goal has been to create various opportunities to come and engage within your child’s 255Q site. To this date, we have had informative Speech and Occupational therapy workshops, gym nights, movie nights, and a variety of parent engagement activities in which parents can come to school and participate in art/music or science activities. It is not too late to join us at an upcoming event. Be sure to check the school calendar.

With nicer weather coming, it will be natural for all of us to spend more time outside in the nice weather. As students and staff participate in community-based instruction this spring and summer, the P255Q teaching teams will plan to work on learned skills while on school trips. I also encourage all our families to consciously think about skills to practice throughout the excellent months ahead.

Enjoy the months ahead.

Gregg Lopez
