School Community,

Our Student Council is kicking off the Great Kindness Challenge-January 24-28th. This week is dedicated to creating a culture of kindness✌. Let's encourage our students to perform as many kind acts as possible. All students will receive a Kindness Connect 4! sheet. The goal is to reach at least 4 acts of kindness in a row (across, diagonal, up & down.) Do 4 acts of kindness and receive a treat at the end of the week🙂. Complete the entire board and get a treat + shout out! An entire class that completes the entire board gets a Bee Proud card + shout out + surprise.

PS 249 Community,

This past Friday, October 1st, we held our annual PBIS Kickoff. We also celebrated our first College Friday of the year.

Thank you Chancellor Porter, Executive Freeman, Superintendent Lindsay and all the elected officials who visited P.S. 249 on Wednesday, September 15th. It was an honor to host all of you. We hope enjoyed your time!

PBIS is a very important part of our school community.

Creating a positive environment for our students, staff, administration and support staff is an on-going process that we celebrate throughout the school year.
