SLT

School Leadership Teams (SLTs) are vehicles for developing school-based educational policies, and ensuring that resources are aligned to implement those policies. SLTs assist in the evaluation and assessment of a school’s educational programs and their effects on student achievement. SLTs play a significant role in creating a structure for school-based decision making, and shaping the path to a collaborative school culture.

Care Closet

Our school provides a Care Closet for our school community with items such as:
personal hygiene products such as soap, toothpaste, and toothbrushes, winter clothing for students (hats, gloves, coats), shoes
and some gently used clothes. We also have a limited amount of nonperishable food items. We have baby clothes, shoes and clothing items (toddler through junior high sizes) at this time. We know that students do better when their basic needs are met and we want to make sure all of our children are set up for success. All requests will remain confidential.
 
You may fill out a Google Form or complete a paper request for assistance. All requests will be sent home as quickly as possible. If you have an emergency need, please reach out to Ms. Choudhry, by calling (718) 445-2902. As a reminder, if you are able to help us with this initiative, these are some of the things we need: Clothing (children’s sizes) New or gently used hats, gloves, scarves, coats New socks New packages of underwear Personal Hygiene Products Toothpaste Toothbrushes Body soap Tissues Shampoo/Conditioner Q-tips Cotton Balls Non-perishable Food Items Canned beans, canned vegetables, canned fruit, rice, dried beans, pasta, peanut butter, shelf stable milk, granola bars, cereal, fruit snacks, oatmeal packets, juice boxes Thank you for supporting our school community.
