Welcome back!!!

A note from Principal Quintana for the 2026–2027 school year

Dear Students and Families,

Welcome back to another exciting school year! Whether you are joining our school community for the first time or returning for another year of learning and growth, we are thrilled to have you with us. The start of a new school year brings new opportunities, new friendships, and new experiences, and we cannot wait to see all that our students will accomplish.

We are especially excited to share that Maspeth Town Hall has returned as our after-school partner, providing enriching programs and activities for our students at no cost to families. This partnership offers wonderful opportunities for students to explore their interests, build new skills, and continue learning beyond the school day.

Our staff has been hard at work preparing for a successful year filled with engaging learning experiences, meaningful connections, and memorable celebrations. Together, we will create a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where every child can thrive.

Thank you for your continued partnership and trust. We look forward to welcoming everyone back and making this our best year yet!

With excitement and gratitude,

Robert Quintana

Principal · P.S. 28Q – The Thomas Emanuel Early Childhood Center
