I'm very disappointed in the grade received on the school's report card. My oldest daughter is currently in 5th grade and has nothing but wonderful things to say about the school, it's teachers as well as other staff. Since transferring to this school 3 years ago, they have been nothing but wonderful.

Many traditions have been started and maintained...the pork chop derby, field day, and dance fete , which is fun for kids...and talked about the entire year...before and after these activities take place. We love P.S. 35 and want to thank Mrs. Chanod, Ms. Morton, Mrs. Hartmann, Ms. Zito, and the rest of the staff for taking the time to care and really help make P.S. 35 a great place to be!!!!!!!
