Principal Joanna Delucchi along with an outstanding group of teachers have for the past10+ years embraced the unique Anne Frank Aesthetic Education/Emotional Intelligence curriculum unit. The school culture is unique because of this

Anyone who goes to this school might change their minds.

I am writing to express serious concerns regarding the quality of staff conduct and overall environment at MS343. While I appreciate the efforts of the principal, it appears that his leadership is being undermined by a lack of professionalism and accountability among certain members of the staff. In particular, I have observed troubling behavior from the 6th grade dean, and counselors who come across as unprofessional, disrespectful and dismissive toward students and parents. I have also observe the counseling and they have proven to be unhelpful. They lack empathy and competence that is expected in their roles. Perhaps they could use a refresher on how to manage students and be more useful with the title they carry. I respectfully urge your office and DOE to look into these matters and take the appropriate steps to ensure a more supportive, respectful, and productive school year for the fall 2025 and moving forward.Thank you.
