Dear P.S. 62Q Parents/Guardians and Students:

Welcome to a brand-new school year! It’s with great joy and anticipation that I welcome you all back to our school community—a place where every student is encouraged to grow, explore, and shine. We have been busy preparing for our first day of school which will be on Thursday, September 5, 2024. 

This year, we’re focusing on some exciting areas that will help our students thrive both in and out of the classroom. First and foremost, we’re encouraging a love for reading. Whether it’s diving into a thrilling novel, exploring new topics, or reading together as a family, we believe that reading every day opens doors to endless possibilities. It’s not just about improving reading skills; it’s about discovering new worlds and nurturing a lifelong love of learning.

We’re also thrilled to introduce new opportunities that will prepare our students for the future. Financial literacy is one of the important life skills we’ll be focusing on this year. By teaching our students the basics of managing money, budgeting, and making decisions, we’re helping them build a foundation for lifelong success.

Our new multimedia sound recording studio and robotics program are other exciting additions, offering students a hands-on experience with technology and innovation. Students will learn valuable problem-solving skills and discover the thrill of bringing their ideas to life.

And let’s not forget our debate team, where students will have the chance to express their ideas, engage in thoughtful discussions, and develop confidence in public speaking. Debate is more than just an activity—it’s a way to teach critical thinking, respect for diverse viewpoints, and leadership.

Speaking of leadership, we’re committed to helping every student find their voice and become a leader in their own way. Whether through classroom activities, extracurricular programs, or community service, we want our students to understand the power they have to make a positive impact in the world.

This school year is full of promise, and I couldn’t be more excited to see what our students will achieve. With your support and partnership, we can make this year one of growth, discovery, and joy for all of our students.

Thank you for being such an important part of our school family. Here’s to a wonderful year ahead!

Warmest regards,

Jordan Vitta
