On behalf of the entire P.S. 201 Team, welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! This year promises to be one filled with learning and excitement!  I have no doubt that you will fall in love with our P.S. 201Q  Elementary School just as I have during my first year as principal last school year.

During my first year at the helm, I found our school staff to be highly committed and passionate about teaching and learning. We want nothing more than to help your child succeed.  I also found parents that are equally committed and passionate about our school and scholar success. As an extension of our staff, our PTA provides engaging academic and social events to promote effective school, parent, and community partnerships, and to foster a fun environment.  At the heart of our work is our scholars who demonstrate strong leadership, kindness, and a desire to do their very best.

Prior to the first day of the school year, on September 4, 2025, I encourage you to reflect on the following question that will help our school soar to even greater heights:  How will you increase your engagement in our school community? Perhaps you can be a mystery reader, help during a class trip, or devote 5 minutes each morning to greet scholars as they enter the building to begin a new day? Whatever you decide, my hope is that you will become actively engaged in the teaching and learning process here at P.S. 201Q. In the weeks ahead, be on the lookout for information around engagement opportunities at our school. In addition, please share any engagement ideas that you have with our school staff. Together, we achieve more!

Our school culture focuses on educating and empowering our scholars to become world class leaders. We will accomplish our goals through partnerships between the school and parent community. As a TEAM, we will continue to pursue excellence in everything we do.

We look forward to collaborating with you to achieve success together.
