Dear P.S. 361 families and students,

First and foremost, WE MISSED YOU DEARLY and hope that everyone is continuing to practice mindfulness and making sure that self care is a top priority! 

We understand there are so many questions circulating around about what school may look like in the fall and what the reopening guidelines will be. As we receive more guidance from Chancellor Meisha Porter, I can hopefully answer some of those questions for our parents, community, and staff.  While we do not have any definitive answers at this point in time as this is a constantly evolving situation, we promise to keep you updated throughout the school year.

As always, the safety of our students and staff is our number one priority.  Continue to stay safe, and In the meantime, please refer to Updated messages-for-families for the most up to date information.

Together we form a strong partnership to ensure that all our children and staff members at P.S. 361 move forward in their academic endeavors to become the best thinkers, problem solvers, effective communicators, and exceptional members of this diverse and ever changing world.

Sincerely,

Tiffany Frazier

Principal
