P.S. 17 Henry D Woodworth

I graduated from P.S. 17 1n 1939 I was wondering if it is possible to get in touch with the principle for some information like the names of the past teachers, principles, etc. I was also the head of a building project in science class given by a Mr. ALBERT Trella. Is it possible that it would still be on display? They were houses and some buildings of washington DC. Like the house of montecello. Daniel Gerard 1939 I was also a bugler in the marching band at PS 17 When I attended this school it was strictly all male students, is it still that way? My address was 448 Keap St. Brooklyn, N.Y. How old is the school building now??

This school was horrible for my son. He attended this school for 3 years and was extremely behind in reading. I repeatedly asked the staff for help and the only answer they had was to leave my son behind a grade. I transfered him out and got him extra help with a private tutor. The new school he is attending is unbelievable great. His new school worked with his reading. He made an amazing amount of progress. My son was also bullied at P.S 17. The staff shrugged off my complaints. P.S 17 staff has NO concern for their students learning or safety.

My son just finished his first year at PS 17. In kindergarten he enjoyed music twice a week for choral and keyboard instruction. Once a week he visited art with a fomer studio in the schools instructor who decided to take a full-time position, social studies where he learned map skills, computer lab where he mastered kidpix, and his classroom teacher instructed the kids in P.E. The highlight of each week was the class visit to the library. The school library is fantastic and the librarian is brilliant. On one family day in the library on a Saturday she read a Chinese folk-tale inspired tangram story, gave kids their own (take-home)tangram sets and patterns to practice with, then called the kids up to the smartboard to manipulate digital tangrams and show how they formed their patterns. It was a beautiful blend on literacy and mathematical thinking. I'm happy at PS 17.
