David A. Boody (I.S. 228)
Overview
I.S. 228 offers a creative environment that brings out students' talents in safe, encouraging, and challenging ways. We have zero tolerance for bullying and have partnered up with Bridg-it. We also have a Student Teacher Outreach Mentorship Program, where our teachers give up their time to have lunch with small groups of students. Our paramount goal is to empower all students with the necessary skills to become college- and career-ready. All members of our school community will be responsible for creating a nurturing environment that supports rigorous learning delivered through a high-quality curriculum aligned to the Common Core. We strive to implement engaging and rigorous lessons that meet the needs of all students. Parents are respected partners and are supported by the district's first Parent Engagement Center. Parents are in constant communication through innovative apps such as Pupil Path and Remind. I.S. 228 offers free night classes that teach English as a New Language to the parents of new immigrant students and other interested adults. We run two full after-school programs from 2:30pm-5:30pm, five days a week with a variety of academic and recreational activities.
