 Dearest P.S. 56 School Family, "I'll be there for you"

 Every new school year is an awesome and invaluable opportunity for each of us to be better than our last best, and we are truly so excited to welcome everyone home sweet home to our 2023-2024 School Year!  This is always such a special time of the year here at P.S. 56.  There is excitement and wonder-filled anticipation abounding for this new chapter of learning to begin.  Our planning and preparations are keeping us extra-busy and extra-excited as we ensure that we are extra-ready!  All our children are without limits as learners, and every day is filled with endless possibilities for them to discover their individual passions, creativity, and strengths, while they grow increasingly self-confident and independent.  We are so honored to be on this learning journey with them.  Steadfast in our dedication to the education of the whole child, we have planned and prepared a school-wide curriculum that supports every child’s physical, social, emotional and academic growth and success.  We are unwavering in our commitment to provide a nurturing and loving academic environment that meets the strengths and needs of every child.  We all agree that “joy is unbreakable and perfectly safe in the hands of every child”, and joyful learning is embedded in every moment of every school day!  Providing a welcoming environment is paramount to building community and to ensuring every student’s academic growth and achievement.  Here at P.S. 56 we strive to be Cheers – the place where everybody knows your name and you’re always glad you came.  Our entire staff is dedicated to this goal, and we all have our part to play in achieving this. 

Heartfelt appreciation always for your constant support.  I know how immeasurably blessed I am to call P.S. 56 my home away from home. TOGETHER we will continue to be the light of joy, the light of support, and the light of love for the children we love and serve. Together we will welcome our new school year with joy and excitement!  Together we will ensure our children feel safe, feel loved and reach their full potential as learners.  Together we will go far and… TOGETHER IS A WONDERFUL PLACE TO BE!  So Cheers and bring on the 2023-2024 school year.  Our best is yet to be!  #BestSchoolFamilyEver! 

Fondly,

Maureen O’Neill

Principal
