2025-2026 School Year Off to a Great Start
September Highlights at PS 144
September was a very busy and exciting month at PS 144! We were thrilled to welcome many new teachers and staff members as we opened several new classrooms to support smaller class sizes. The hallways are now buzzing with energy, learning, and new connections as students and staff settle into the school year.
We kicked off the year with a fun-filled carnival featuring bounce houses, games, and lots of smiling faces. It was a wonderful way to build community and start the year on a joyful note. Thank you Council Person Shulman for stopping by and always supporting our school.
We were also honored to receive a visit from our superintendent, Dr. Blake, who stopped by during the first week to greet students and staff.
Our school mascot, Juno, helped launch our first SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) assembly on Wellness Wednesday. SEL continues to be a core focus at PS 144, with many meaningful and engaging activities taking place in classrooms throughout the building.
Here’s to a fantastic start to the school year!
