About P.S./I.S. 208
Known around Glen Oaks for Penguin Pride, P.S./I.S. 208 is a District 29 public school serving kindergarten through grade 8 in one building. Our instructional focus pairs the art of science with the science of the arts, using document-based questions, performance tasks, accountable talk and student research, with writing practiced across all content areas.
We put real time into character and leadership. My Brothers & Sisters Keeper mentoring brings middle school students together around character, academics and leadership. Boys in grades 5 to 8 meet in mentoring groups led by staff, and the Beautiful Me program, supported by the Hance Family Foundation, builds self-esteem and relationship skills for girls. Teachers nominate a Student of the Month in each grade, and an elected student council gives students a voice.
Our early grades include special education classes, and New York Edge runs before and after school programs for students in grades K to 5 and 6 to 8.
