To Our Wonderful
P.S. 233 Community
Dear PS 233 Families and Students,
It is with great joy and anticipation that I welcome you back to school! Thursday, September 4th, marks the beginning of what promises to be an amazing year of learning, growth, and achievement.
This year, our guiding theme is “Resetting the Compass for Success.” Together, we will refocus, realign, and recommit to the values and goals that make our school community exceptional.
At PS 233, we are more than just a school—we are an vibrant community, deeply committed to the success of every student. As we step into this new chapter, I invite you to partner with us in fostering excellence, curiosity, and resilience in our children. With your support, our students will not only meet expectations—they will surpass them.
As Nelson Mandela once said,
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
Let’s embrace this journey together—with purpose, passion, and pride.
​
With gratitude and admiration,
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."
