Welcome to the 2018-2019 School Year

WELCOME to the 2018-2019 school year! Please scroll down for some important back-to-school information.
As a PS8/MS8 parent or guardian, you are automatically a member of the PTA, and your involvement is crucial to our continued success. Please consider attending PTA meetings, being a class/grade parent, running an event, helping raise and/or contribute money, or lending your skills and talents. Much of what makes this such a special community is the dedication of our parent body.
We are looking forward to working with you to support our school through many exciting PS8/MS8 events this year! We hope you will come Celebr8 Diversity with us on Thursday, September 27th at 5:30 p.m. in the PS8 school yard. There will be food, live music, activities, and prizes. Please sign up to bring something to share and to help during the event. Thanks!
Always feel free to contact us with questions or feedback at president@ps8brooklyn.org.
