P.723X @ P049X

P.S. 723X @ P.S. 49 is a co-located site located within P.S. 49 Willis Avenue. Here, we educate and nurture our students academically, socially, and emotionally in 6:1:1 and 8:1:1 classroom environments. Our 8:1:1 classrooms use Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) which result in a culminating activity on Fridays. Students are rewarded based on the points they have received throughout the week by attending special activities in the classrooms, as well as selecting a reinforcing item from the “Points Store.” Our 6:1:1 classes place heavy emphasis on communication development and utilize individualized schedules that assist students with transitions. All of our teachers work very hard in differentiating materials for our students in order to ensure that they have access to the general education curriculum. We encourage our students to be as independent as possible in order to prepare them for the world after school.
