Dear PS89 Families,
As a school community, our staff, teachers and leaders support lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer or questioning students and families. Our LGBTQ+ community members should always feel safe, supported and celebrated at PS89. 

Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos wishes to emphasize that DOE policies have not changed in the face of recent events. The DOE policy reads:

It is the policy of the New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) to maintain a safe and supportive school environment for all students free from harassment, intimidation, and/or bullying and free from discrimination on account of actual or perceived race, color, creed, ethnicity, national origin, citizenship/immigration status, religion, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, disability, or weight.
