P23Q

P23Q Community,  

I am beyond excited to begin the 2023/2024 school year.  The 2023/2024 academic year, like others, holds so much promise.  If past performance is an indication of future performance, our entire school community will capitalize on the time we have the privilege of working with our students.  We are committed to the positive outcomes for our students in the areas of their academics as well as the social emotional learning.  To this end our Comprehensive Education Plan Goals are as follows: 

ELA/Literacy Goal: 

By June 2024, 90% of students continuously enrolled in grades 3 through 8 in IEP-driven units will demonstrate an average growth of 1.5 reading levels from baseline as measured by Fountas & Pinnell.     

Mathematics Goal: 

By June 2024, 90% of students continuously enrolled in grades 3 through 8 in IEP-driven units will increase their school- and home-based utilization rate of IXL from the 2022/2023 school year to 80% in the 2023/2024 school year.    

 Graduation Goal: 

By June 2024, 50% of students who graduated from P23Q will remain engaged in their post-secondary plan based on academic followup and clinical interventions.

College, Career and Civic Readiness Goal: 

By June 2024, 95% of students continuously enrolled in grades six through 10 in IEP-driven units will be programmed for a CDOS course aligned with the CDOS standards with an emphasis on Life skills.   

Quality IEP Goal: 

By June 2024, 90% of students continuously enrolled in grades K through 12 in IEP-driven units will have their IEPs conferenced by the compliance date.  

Supportive Environment Framework: 

By June 2024, 80% of students continuously enrolled in grades Kindergarten through grade eight in IEP-driven units will demonstrate average increase of one writing level as measured by school-created rubrics and MAP Growth, while demonstrating socially acceptable behaviors as measured by an increase of PBIS-levels.  

I am happy to share that this year marks a momentous change in our school’s history.  Our community has opened a new building (kindergarten to grade five) in western Queens.  We are happy to have our new students and look forward to supporting them to meet and exceed their IEP goals and other milestones.  Moreover, we look forward to building and strengthening our relationships with parents; without you, there is no us.  Please check your emails, phones (text messages via Remind app), and your children’s bags for communications coming from our school. 

Respectfully,

Dr. Jude A. Arthur, Principal
