P.S. 132 the Conselyea School

Can someone please let me know when the construction at this school might be ending? I'm a local resident and there's a very heavy smell of tar every day in the area that last all day and night and it's my making my asthma worse. Does anyone have any info regarding what the smell is and when it might end?

would like to say PS.132 has come a long way. I myself attended and can remember the teachers that have influenced me. My Art, music and gym teachers played a huge roll in my life. not only were they great teachers who cared but loved what they did. P.S 132 being a Multi Culture school provides classrooms that kids can learn and grow from. Flag Day was my favorite pass time at P.S 132, Flag Day brought everyone together to better our health, I have seen the changes P.S 132 has made over the years and the school has grown. The board of Education should grant more money to aid in the schools great history.

Lovely teachers, strong principal, and amazing parent body. Parents are very involved and there are many opportunities for parental involvement. At the moment, the kids have yoga and drama via TADA. However, there is quite a lot of homework in the upper grades. Weekly math, writing, and spelling assignments begin in first grade. Be aware that the school operates on a tracking system. Plus the building is maxed out, we lost the library last year to create more classroom space. Luckily the Settlement House down the street has stepped up (with the help of community fundraising) to renovate their gym to provide for much needed space. There is a also a wonderful new music teacher, and we even have 'senior' and 'junior' bands, an amazing feat for an elementary school.

My daughter has yet to attend Pre K, but this is my school of choice in the neighborhood. Our neighborhood is a newly gentrifying neighborhood and it seems this is the only public school in the neighborhood that is trying to change with the times. They have play groups, a website and all around they are just great!

My daughter, who is in prek., had a little difficulty wanting to attend school towards the end. The family counselor, Ms. Janet and the teacher, Ms. Jensen, went beyond what was expected of them to help my daughter. I am greatly obliged and appreciative.

My daughter goes to PS 132 for Pre-K and she loves it. I find the administration to be warm, loving and supportive. They are an inexhaustible group who are open minded and listen to the needs of both the children and parents. They invite parents to participate in activities in the classroom and create fun and exciting out of school time events.
