Our Community

There is a direct correlation between the success of a student in education and the involvement of their family.  When families are involved in their children's schools, their children do better.  Family and community involvement is an essential component of a successful school.  There is involvement in school curriculum, instruction, assessment and other aspects of regular school life.   

At Public School 65Q we strive to create and foster such a relationship.  Good Communication and relationships between community, family and school helps to maximize student success.  At Public School 65Q there is an array of community activities that take place throughout the school year.
