Welcome to P.S. 398

At PS 398, we believe school should be a place where every child feels seen, supported, and inspired to grow. Rooted in equity and driven by a love of learning, we create joyful, inclusive classrooms where students of all backgrounds especially our multilingual learners are empowered to thrive.

Our dedicated staff work hand in hand with families to nurture curiosity, build confidence, and prepare students to lead with compassion and purpose. From restorative circles to hands on learning experiences, everything we do is grounded in care, community, and the belief that our children are capable of greatness. We re so glad you re here.
