Principal's Message

Welcome to the 2024-2025 School Year!

I am thrilled to welcome all returning and new scholars to the Hale E. Woodruff, P.S. 224 school community, or “The Hive” as we like to call it. As we begin this new school year, we are excited to embark on a journey of learning, growth, and discovery together. My desire is to maintain a strong partnership with you, to ensure that our scholars can achieve their highest potential. As partners, we share the responsibility for our scholars’ success and I want you to know that we will carry out our responsibilities.

This year, staff and scholars of the hive will be challenged to “THRIVE”! This means that our entire community at PS 224 will be engaged in activities that will teach students how to respond to challenging tasks by providing them with instruction that is aligned to standards and provides all students the skills/strategies to productively struggle; evidence in their student work.

PS 224 has and will continue to be a special place to learn and grow. We are proud of our school and have high expectations for every scholar and staff member that walks through our doors. I believe deeply in the teachers and families at PS 224, and the community that we have built together. I am so excited and grateful for the opportunity to continue to lead PS 224 and most importantly, to serve our scholars, their families and the community in which they live. Together we “Thrive As A Hive”.

Please know that your opinions, questions, concerns, suggestions, and support are of the highest importance. Please don’t hesitate to call, email, or stop by and share your thoughts with me.

In your service,

Alexandria Frank

Principal

PS. 224
