Welcome to PS 15. We believe in the potential of all students and are committed to nurturing them. Wonderful and exciting things are happening across PS 15 from our Pre-Kindergarten to Gifted & Talented classes.
New for September 2017, PS 15 will be opening a Maker Space, a dedicated space for building, designing, exploring, and learning. Thanks to support from Creative Arts Agency (CAA) and a grant received from Lowe's Home Improvement, this space is equipped with computers, robots, a 3D printer, sewing machines, and much more. Innovation and creativity will fuel our students as they create and discover.
As a Schoolwide Enrichment Model school, students participate in interest-based clusters that capitalize on their talents and interests to dig deeper into content, learn about the world around them, and collaborate to make a change. We look forward to seeing the social action projects students will take on this year! Our students will also have the opportunity to develop their talents through STEM, dance, drama, visual arts, and music classes. If you are interested in learning more about PS 15, read my message.
To Our PS 15 Family,
We are all saddened by the loss of our beloved teacher, Zehra Haider. She was an amazing person who inspired all of her students and colleagues. For anyone who would like to share photos, a message, or a remembrance, please email RememberingZehraHaider@gmail.com. All emails will be shared with her family at an appropriate time. We will miss her terribly.
Thank you to everyone who attended our memorial on October 19th and for the outpouring of love and support we have received.
Warmly,
Irene Sanchez
