Welcome Parents!
Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education and partnering with us to ensure each student’s academic, social, and emotional success. Throughout the year, we will host several workshops and meetings for parents, which will be announced via email, the school messaging system, and the monthly calendar.
Please reach out to our Parent Coordinator, Lisa Hafeez, at lhafeez2@schools.nyc.gov with any specific questions. You can also contact us at MS226HelpDesk@virgilgrissom.com.
Please note that we will be closed in July and August 2022 as they complete construction on the exterior of the building. Please reach out via email with any questions or concerns.
Below, you will find information about the school’s grading and cell phone policy, as well as the calendar for the 2022-2023 school year.
We look forward to our ongoing collaboration!
