Welcome back!!!

A note from Principal Quintana for the 2026–2027 school year

Hello to my PS 28 Family!

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Robert Quintana and I am the proud principal of P.S. 28Q, The Thomas Emanuel school.

I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of our new students as well as their families. I am so excited to have you join our vibrant and diverse school community. P.S. 28 is a school where you can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

For our returning students, I am thrilled to welcome you back for another year of growth, achievement and success.

As we begin this new school year together and something that I expressed to the community last year, is the importance of TIME. TIME is the one commodity that we cannot purchase. How we choose to spend it is up to us. It is so important to make time throughout the day to put down the devices and interact with one another. Make the time to explore and discover, make the time to go to visit local gardens, zoos and parks. I want to work hand in hand with our families to create an environment where every student can not only achieve success but also become a positive, responsible global citizen.

This year we will continue to have the privilege of having Mr. Christian Roman as our PA President, we will be implementing our school uniforms and we have a new after school program returning (Maspeth Town Hall). This year our returning after school program will be COMPLETELY FREE for families for the next six years. Space is limited so if you are interested, please complete the enrollment form as soon as you can.

I am very excited for this academic year and welcome any input or feedback that you may have.

Warmest Regards,

Robert Quintana

Principal
