At PS 38 Roberto Clemente, we refer to our students as scholars. We set high expectations for our scholars. Many scholars struggle with how to appropriately communicate with others in an academic setting. PS 38 is Title I school of about 250 scholars. Scholars are of low socioeconomic status with 90% qualifying for free or reduced lunch. Our population is largely Hispanic with 13% being English Language Learners. Approximately, 34% of our scholars have special needs. We are focused on increasing student attendance and we encourage scholars to attend school every day by creating a risk-free, inclusive learning environment. My co-teacher and I have fifty 4th and 5th-graders. We are focused on creating a positive learning environment where all ideas are welcome and have value. We encourage our scholars to work collaboratively as often as possible and to encourage the success of their peers.
