P.S. 242- The Young Diplomats Magnet Academy

We were very excited to see so many of you at our Celebration of Learning on February 10th! As an IB school our students immerse themselves in their topics of inquiry and our Celebrations of Learning are opportunities for our students to share the depth of their knowledge and experience with the community. Taking action is an integral part of being an IB student, and students sharing their learning and educating their peers and families is a form of taking action.

In addition to coming in to learn with and from our students, we are excited to welcome you in for parent workshops and activities throughout the month. See below for upcoming events:

Wednesday, March 5: Parent Workshop on Setting Goals and Motivating Students presented by Elevate Education.Thursday, March 6: Our Annual Reading Gala! Parents are invited to join us for a hot breakfast and a book making class while students are celebrating the joy and importance of reading with special guest readers in their classrooms! Students will also have an ice cream sundae bar at lunch time! Thursday, March 6 is also Parent Teacher Conference Day. Students will be dismissed at 11:30 and conferences will be held via Zoom. Please sign up for a conference time with your child's teacher(s). Wednesday, March 12: PTA Meeting in person and via Zoom at 8:45 am. Thursday, March 20: Cookshop for Families!
