About the school

The motto of IS 77, 'A Family of Learners,' illustrates the commitment of the faculty and staff. Our parent coordinator, Ms. Carmen Resto, holds monthly lunch and learn workshops for parents in English, as well as in Spanish. Some topics include Cyber-bulling, Understanding the Common Core Learning Standards, School Safety, and other topics addressing the academic, emotional and social well-being of our students. IS 77 recognizes that in order to meet the diverse needs of the students and families of this community, we offer a variety of programs and activities in addition to our core academic subjects. In addition, our school has maintained an ongoing relationship with feeder schools. The IS 77 Holiday concert features a combined chorus of our students as well as the feeder schools! Our Chourus is invited to particpate in a local HS holiday concert! IS 77 is the recipient of a NYS Expanded Learning Time grant. The intent of this program is to provide IS 77 students the opportunity to participate in an extended school day, week and year in order to better meet the needs of its students and school community and improve student achievement. Among our programs is our award winning STEM program featuring our robotics club! Now offering a STEM Program where students learn to think and act as scientists and engineers, identify and explore real-world challenges, while building computational thinking, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.
