By order of the Dept of Ed., schools will resume classes Friday, January 5th. Please take extra caution when traveling to school. The roads have been shoveled and salted, but there is a wind chill advisory that will make the commute challenging. Please bundle up!

Also, as a reminder, please DO NOT DROP YOUR CHILDREN OFF BEFORE 7:50 AM! For safety reasons, the school is not allowed to admit students in prior to the scheduled time. 7:50 AM is the earliest students can gain access to the buildings. Thank you for your cooperation!

WEATHER ADVISORY: Due to expected severe weather conditions, all New York City public schools will be CLOSED Thursday, January 4, 2018. After-school programs, adult education, YABC programs, and PSAL activities are also cancelled.

Enjoy your day off, and we’ll see you on Friday!

And just like that, it’s the end of the year! We at the Parents’ Association would like to wish all our family and friends in the P.S. 99Q community a very happy holiday season! Schools are closed for Winter Recess next week. We will see you back on January 2nd!

Thank you to all who came out to enjoy WinterFest! Congratulations to all the raffle winners, and a big hand to all the parents and volunteers who made the parties a fun time for all! Some pics from Friday. Did you take any photos worth sharing? Send it our way, and we’ll post it!

Our fundraiser with Fun Pasta Fundraising continues through November 15! Help the Parents’ Association raise money for events and programs that we sponsor for our students by selling to your family and friends.

Remember, our goal is for each participant is to sell at least 10 bags and the class with the highest sales will be rewarded with a pizza party! The pasta selection is affordable and selling is fun and simple.  And best of all, our school can earn up to 50% profit!

What is Fun Pasta?
Fun Pasta is pasta shaped like holiday items, sports equipment, collegiate team logos, and more.  The colorful brochure features a wide variety of shapes that will appeal to everyone!

How can you help?

Every sale helps support our school and gets us closer to our goal.  The products are healthy, fun, and affordable – and they make great gifts, too!
