About P.S. 211Q

Welcome to the P.S. 211 Elm Tree Family!
 
At P.S. 211 Elm Tree Elementary School, we believe that clear communication along with our parent’s involvement within our school community is key to our student’s success. With this in mind, our goal is to utilize the many digital tools (such as our school website) to constantly stay in contact with our parents while also keeping them informed of all that goes on within our school on a day-to-day basis. 

We want our parents to have everything they need to be active participants in their child’s education, which is why we have redesigned our school website to provide our parents with the information and resources that they need to achieve this goal. Everything that our parents need to know about our school and how to ensure your child's success is transparent on our website.

February 12th - March 12th, 2025- Congratulations P.S. 211Q Class 405! Their PSA Poster Can Be Found Throughout Queens, NY!

Dear Elm Tree Community,

Class 405 chose to focus on the dangers of secondhand smoke, particularly its impact on children. Through their research, they discovered that smoking or vaping in New York City parks and playgrounds is illegal. Inspired by this finding, they launched their campaign!

As part of their efforts, the students interviewed Jean Silva of the Flushing Meadows-Corona Park Conservancy, who provided valuable insights into the prevalence and risks of smoking in public parks.

Ultimately, Class 405 designed a PSA poster that will be displayed on LinkNYC screens throughout Queens for 30 days, thanks to a sponsorship from Council Member Francisco Moya.


We are so proud of their advocacy and commitment to making our community healthier!
