Hello and welcome to PKFA-2 classpage!

My name is Ms. Jones, and I will be your child’s teacher this year. My email is ljones@saintgabrielschoolbronx.org

Pre-K is an exciting and fun time for your child. Bear in mind that everything and one will be new but as the children get adjusted. I can assure you, we at Saint Gabriel’s school will make the process a positive one for you and your child. The children will be encouraged to participate in numerous activities that will enable them to develop, grow and learn cognitively, socially, and emotionally.

As we begin a brand-new school year, my plan is that we join and work as a team for the betterment of our children.
