One school. Fresh start. Continue the work.
Welcome to P.S. 145
Thank you for your interest in our little corner of the world where we are dedicated to nurturing your child's unique potential. Our thoughtfully designed academic programs cater to each age group, empowering students to explore their interests and passions, setting a strong foundation for their journey into middle school and beyond.
Academic Programs
We have three distinct programs that parents can choose from to start their child's academic development: Monolingual Program, the Spanish Dual Program and the Russian Dual Language Program. Special Education services are available to all children who are determined to need the extra support.
For Parents
As a parent at P.S. 145, you are an important part of our school community. We provide resources and support to help you stay informed and involved in your child's education. Click the link below to learn more.
It takes a lot more than our school budget to provide the myriad of opportunities that our students benefit from at P.S. 145. Click on the button below to donate to the PS 145 PTA Fund.

What's for Lunch?
Breakfast, lunch and afterschool meals are free to all NYC public school students during the school year. Last year, the P.S. 145 cafeteria participated in the NYC Department of Education’s Office of Food and Nutrition Services’ Cafeteria Enhancement Experience (CEE) - an innovative, highly cost-effective model that modernizes and transforms the cafeteria experience for students. It addresses two of the largest barriers to student participation in school meals: cafeteria environment and food appeal. The serving line is transformed into a deli-style service that is visually appealing and gives students more options on a daily basis. The seating area is student-centered with more welcoming, comfortable, and social seating. Our Wellness in the Schools Chef collaborates with our kitchen staff to make sure that meals are prepared in a healthy way. Click on the button below to see the menu.
