P.S. 30 R. Hernandez/L. Hughes School serves a diverse, multilingual student population of immigrants to the United States. They seek to provide each student with a language-rich learning experience that moves them to a point where they can read, write and communicate effectively in English and their native language. Technology integration and activities that provide opportunities for problem solving, students at every grade level gradually become accountable for their own learning. The teachers make every effort to incorporate literacy learning in all areas of learning: social studies, science, math, health, physical education, and the arts. They have an active PTA that sponsors programs to benefit the students and their families.
