    This month, we are celebrating the beauty of our Queens community while bringing the magic of the holidays to our neighbors in need. As we close out our Holiday Supplies Drive on December 18th, by donating toiletries, socks, coloring books, etc. to those in poverty, we encourage students and families to continue looking for ways to serve our community. At our Community Awareness and Celebration event on December 19th and 20th, students will learn about ways they can contribute and support those in need. They will also have the opportunity to learn about our Jackson Heights and Queens community and all the beautiful things it has to offer. As students leave the event, they are encouraged to leave a note sharing one thing they learned and one way they plan to serve our neighbors in the coming year. 

    To celebrate our Jackson Heights Community, you can still contribute to our Recipe Book. Please see the link below to submit a recipe.

    The New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) believes that our schools become stronger when we listen to our students. This year, students will be invited to participate in the Panorama Education Student Perception Survey, a research-based, confidential student survey used across the country to provide teachers with students’ feedback about their classroom experiences. Students in grades 6-12 will be invited to participate in the 2024-2025 Student Perception Survey. The survey can be completed in 30 minutes or less. The survey administration window is from December 9th, 2024, to December 20th, 2024, and schools will determine when is best to administer the survey within that time frame. Questions on the survey ask how your child is experiencing their classes, such as how supported your child feels by their teacher, and whether they find lessons engaging. If you would like to view the items on the survey, please visit www.StudentPerceptionSurvey.nyc where you can view the 2024 Student Perception Survey or contact your school’s survey coordinator. All student survey responses are kept completely confidential, which means no one in the school will know how your child responded. Students are not asked to type in their names or ID numbers on the survey. The reports that teachers receive will not show the individual responses from any student, so you and your child can be confident that their responses will remain private. For more information please visit our website

    Families please continue to fill out the Family Income Inquiry Form formerly known as the Lunch Form Survey. Although lunch is free for NYC students, to assure the appropriate share of federal Title I funds are given to IS 230 for your child’s education..

    It is now online at www.myschoolapps.com

    IS230 Basketball Update

    Our boys team played two games this week.  They played MS 291 and Voice Charter School. Our boys team left everything on the floor during both games, but ended up losing both games.  Our boys team now holds a record of 1-2. Our girls team played MS 705  and once again dominated on both sides of the court and walked away with a victory with a final score of 48-12.  Our girls team is 2-0.  Only parents of the team members are allowed to watch the game based on league rules.  

    A PTA donation letter was sent  home with the students. We are currently asking for your help in donating time and/or money. There is no monetary amount and parents are free to donate whatever they are able to do so. You can bring your donations to the main office located in the main/annex  building and place them in the PTA donation box or you can make a deposit.

     You can donate in 2 ways: 

    - Hand deliver a donation to the main office of both buildings, with the envelope addressed to the PTA. 

    - Or you can mail in a donation to the school @  IS 230Q, Attn: PTA, 73-10 34th Ave, Jackson Heights, NY 11372

    Lunch Form 

    September 2024

    Dear Parents & Guardians,

     Although lunch is free for NYC students, to assure the appropriate share of federal Title I funds are given to IS 230 for your child’s education, we still need you to complete a lunch form by September 23, 2024. 

     The Department of Education has changed the name of the form to the Family Income Inquiry Form.  It is now online at www.myschoolapps.com   You will need to enter the Zip Code for our school (11372) and then begin the application process.   

     The Family Income Inquiry Form will ask you to fill out basic information about your child and family income. It is very convenient to fill it out online. If you feel you will not qualify for free or reduced lunch you still need to fill out the form, just indicate it online.

     If you have any questions or need more information, please contact your child’s dean. 

    6th Grade: Mrs. Martinez

    7th Grade: Mr. Espinal

    8th Grade: Mrs. Neligan

    Thank you,


    Septiembre 2024 Estimados padres y tutores, Aunque el almuerzo es gratuito para los estudiantes de la Ciudad de Nueva York, para garantizar que se entregue la parte adecuada de los fondos federales del Título I a IS 230 para la educación de su hijo, aún necesitamos que complete un formulario de almuerzo antes del 23 de septiembre de 2024. El Departamento de Educación ha cambiado el nombre del formulario a Formulario de consulta de ingresos familiares. Ahora está en línea en www.myschoolapps.com. Deberá ingresar el código postal de nuestra escuela (11372) y luego comenzar el proceso de solicitud. El Formulario de consulta de ingresos familiares le pedirá que complete información básica sobre su hijo y los ingresos familiares. Es muy conveniente completarlo en línea. Si cree que no calificará para recibir almuerzo gratis o a precio reducido, aún debe completar el formulario, simplemente indíquelo en línea. Si tiene alguna pregunta o necesita más información, comuníquese con el decano de su hijo. 6to Grado: Sra. Martínez 7mo grado: Sr. Espinal 8vo grado: Sra. Neligan Gracias, Ajith Satyana Rayana Principal
