Please do not ever leave your child unattended in front of the school.

Grades 1-5 continue to enter through the doors on 21st Avenue until 8:10 a.m.

Bring Your Entry Ticket

Use the Correct Entrance
Please enter through the door designated for your child’s grade level or class. This will help us maintain a safe and organized arrival.

We look forward to welcoming all of our students and families back to P.S. 2 for another wonderful school year!

We’re excited to share a fresh approach to summer learning!

Instead of traditional packets, we’ve created a Summer Enrichment Guide filled with engaging and educational websites for reading, math, typing, and more. All resources are organized by grade level to make them easy to use.

Please see the attached flyers, which includes clickable links to all recommended resources.

Students can also access some of these platforms through Google Classroom, TeachHub, and Clever.

Let’s make this summer a time of learning, discovery, and fun!

Our Lost and Found is full! We've collected many items, including coats, sweaters, hats, glasses, lunchboxes, and water bottles. To help you identify anything that might belong to your child, we've attached a video.

If you recognize any of the items, please email Ms. Pinto ([email protected]) or Ms. Trinidad ([email protected]) with a detailed description. We’ll make sure your child receives the item to bring home.

Please claim items by June 17th. All unclaimed items will be donated so please reach out promptly.

Thank you for your support!
