Ps 31 Samuel F Dupont

Close knit fun school.

I couldn't ask for better schooling for my two sons. The school is under excellent leadership of its principal. Highly recommended.

P.S. 31 is a great school. My son is in Pre-k this year and is having a wonderful time learning and meeting friends. Unlike some sites say, they do get exercise. The Pre-k classes take walks around the block while observing shapes and nature. They also do exercises in class. The older children have recess outside in the school yard. This school is excellent. I highly recommend it.

I liked PS 31 from the moment I stepped foot into the school. My son had terrible separation anxiety when first starting Pre-K but all of that changed. He now loves his school. Why? Because of his beloved teacher, Ms. Fogelman. This teacher treats each child as though they were her own. Our hearts sing when we are in her presence. The para professional, Ms. Carmela is also a joy. Dedicated, kind and hard working teachers who go above and beyond for their students are what my child has at PS 31. I am grateful every single day.
I have seen a big change in my wild, rambunctious child who found coloring boring before starting school. He is now a patient, focused person who is absorbed in his work. The concentration that previously was lavished on Legos and Transformers has now spilled into everything he does... especially projects. Wether done as a family, in a group or on his own, my 4 year old child enjoys learning and immersing himself in school activities. Isn't that marvelous?! He feels a great deal of pride and joy in the stars and compliments he finds written by his teachers on his work.
My son is learning at light speed. Each day he surprises me with new information.
There are also wonderful ways to be involved as a parent in my child's school. I can come in and teach a lesson on a Fabulous Friday. I can surprise the class as a mystery reader. I've heard other parents talk of feeling like they are a part of a community. Well, I feel as though I am a part of the class.
Perhaps I speak too soon. After all, I know only of a pre-K experience; however, I feel a strong affinity to PS 31. It is known as a Blue Ribbon School Of Excellence, which is tremendous! Along with the strong academics (a necessity) I give it a blue ribbon for the kindness, thoughtfulness and comfort it has been for my family.

PS- The school offers outdoor activities for the younger children and recess for all.

As a lifelong resident of the area, I could not be happier about this school. This school takes a top notch approach in teaching children.

Incredible school. I could not hope for a better education for my children. Fantastic teachers, environment, and a caring and supportive staff. If I could give PS 31 ten stars, I would.
