PS 62 is thrilled to announce that we will be building a playground in our existing schoolyard! The Trust for Public Land (TPL) is working to transform vacant school lots into vibrant playgrounds and community parks. The effort is in partnership with the City of New York as part of Mayor Bloomberg’s PlaNYC 2030. Visit their website!
The program is focusing on communities that are under served by parks. Our efforts could add trees, gardens, tracks, sports fields, courts, outdoor classrooms, chess and picnic tables, and much more to PS 62’s schoolyard.

Hello Ms. Clarke!
The technology team is happy to welcome Ms. Clarke to PS 62. Ms. Clarke brings great experience and knowledge to our team. PS 62 now has three technology teachers! We can’t wait to work together to integrate the school curriculum with technology.
Goodbye Obsolete Equipment
All the outdated equipment in the building was removed for free at the end of August through a program called Clean Sweep. The program left us lots of space for new equipment.
Speaking of New Equipment… 
Councilman Joseph P. Addaboo Jr awarded PS 62 with a large sum of money to spend on informational technology. With these funds we were able to supply each 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade classrooms with a mini labs. Thanks so much Councilman Addabbo!!!
Other exciting news…
- Mysuite is in its second year and we are excited to introduce the Learning Environment with a whole new group of teachers and students.
- 4th and 5th grade classes are participating in ThinkQuest this year
- the school has hired a CUNY Intern to come to the building a three days a week to trouble shoot software and hardware problems around the school.
