We are excited to welcome prospective families to P.S. 222Q for our upcoming 3-K and Pre-K Open Houses. Families will have the opportunity to visit classrooms, meet our early childhood teachers, and experience the joyful, play-based learning that happens every day in our school.
From literacy centers to hands-on exploration and social-emotional learning, visitors will see how our youngest learners build strong foundations for success. We look forward to sharing what makes our early childhood program such a special place to learn and grow.

Our school community will participate in Respect for All Week, a citywide initiative focused on kindness, inclusion, empathy and standing up for others. Throughout the week, students will take part in themed spirit days, read-alouds, classroom discussions and activities that promote respect, friendship and belonging. Together, we will celebrate our similarities and differences and continue building a safe, supportive environment where every child feels valued.
As part of the week, we will also honor Black History Month with a special schoolwide assembly on Tuesday, February 10. Students will learn about the history, achievements and contributions of Black leaders, artists and changemakers through music, storytelling and reflection. This meaningful experience will deepen students’ understanding of equity, representation and the many voices that strengthen our community.
We will close the week with No One Eats Alone Day on Friday, February 13, focusing on connection and community. During lunch, we will adjust our routine so students have the opportunity to sit with classmates from other classes, helping them build new friendships and a stronger sense of belonging. A special thank you to our PTA, who will generously provide fruit ice pops for students to enjoy as a treat.
