President Barack Obama Community School, PS #34 Home

The Jersey City Public Schools will remain open tomorrow, June 8th, for regularly scheduled hours. However, all afterschool and outdoor activities will be canceled due to the possibility of poor outdoor air quality.

The President Barack Obama Community School, PS 34 has been awarded Promising Practice Award by Character.org, for their practice "Parent Partners and Community Champions".

Science teacher Ms. Festa facilitated the grade 5 students as they participated in the eMerge Showcase which is a STEM initiative in partnership with Merge EDU.  The students built a renewable energy hotel in Minecraft using only recyclable and renewable products.  Once the interactive hotel was built, the students exported the hotel into the Merge cube which allows you to hold digital 3D hotel, enabling a new way to learn and interact with the digital world. Great Job Team!

Please note the Jersey City Public Schools are open, but all outdoor activities and sports are canceled due to the heavy smoke today!

PS34 was recently awarded Character.org's Promising Practice Award, highlighting Principle 10, for our "Parent Partners and Community Champions". We are excited to share the impact of partnering with our parents and community members and welcomes parental and community engagement to promote student success.
