P.S. 233 Families
Dear Parents, Students, and Community Members,
​
As we enter the final two months of the school year, I want to emphasize the importance of ending the year on a high note. Your support and dedication have been instrumental in our students' success, and together, we can ensure they master this year's standards.
Supporting Students at Home:
-
Homework: Please continue to support your children with their homework. Your involvement makes a significant difference in their understanding and retention of the material.
-
Reading: Encourage your children to read every day. Reading is fundamental to their academic growth and helps them develop critical thinking skills.
-
Attendance: It is vital for our scholars to be present every day. Consistent attendance is crucial as we strive to ensure that they master this year's standards. Every day counts, and we want to make the most of the time we have left.
​​
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Let's work together to finish the school year strong!
Warm regards,
Debra Cunningham, Principal

ABOUT P.S. 233
A Community of Learners
P.S. 233, The Langston Hughes School, is a public 3-K through Grade 5 elementary school. We have faithfully served our East Flatbush community for over 90 years, and focus on educating the whole child - socially, emotionally, and academically.
Our talented and dedicated teachers provide students a strong foundation in all subject areas. We ensure opportunities for students to engage in critical thinking and problem solving, effective communication, collaboration and creativity as part of their school experience. We provide for varied and effective use of technology and real-world application of knowledge and skills.
Our students receive specialized courses in music instruction and performance, library media, computer science, robotics, horticulture and hydroponics, and physical education. Struggling students and those with special needs are offered the additional supports needed to grow and flourish as learners.
All of our classroom teachers have earned Master's degrees in Education. Most of our students are of Caribbean or Middle Eastern descent.
"When a man starts out to build a world,
He starts first with himself."
