Elm Tree Elementary School (PS 211) invites all families to participate in the NYC School Survey, which begins February 9 and ends April 4.

Your voice matters. The survey provides valuable feedback that helps our school improve programs, strengthen instruction, and better support our students and families. The results give administration, teachers, and staff a clear understanding of what is working well and where we can continue to grow.

Please complete the survey and return it to school with your child. If you complete the survey online, kindly send the confirmation receipt with your child.

If you need assistance completing the survey, please contact Ms. Gisella Catarine:
📍 In person daily from 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM
