Please support your child's teachers by purchasing items and supplies from their Amazon wish lists. There is also a need for general supplies (like paper towels, tissues, and hand soap) in all classrooms. Supplies can be dropped of in the main office (Room 515). Thank you for your support!

Don't forget to sign up for Amazon Smile to have your holiday shopping dollars benefit the school! If you have not already signed up go to smile.amazon.com and select IS 89 PTA from the organization list. Every dollar helps!

Did you know that DOE funds cover just 88% our school's budget? Help us bridge the gap by contributing to our Direct Appeal. It's not too late to give and no amount is too small. Please give what you can today!

'Year At A Glance' gives you a one page summary of the IS289 calendar, including all days the school is closed,  PTA meetings, state test dates, conferences and more.
