Senior Prom was a blast at Giando On The Water last Thursday! Check out the gallery of photos on our website for some highlights and find even more photos on Google Drive!

Our Pride Alliance hosted our first ever Pride Fest today in the yard! Each grade spent a period in the yard where they heard statements from our 8th Grade students, played yard games, watched a selection of short films, played trivia, walked through an art gallery and more! We strive to make MS 50 a place where all LGBTQ+ students, staff, and families and their allies are seen, respected, and celebrated and our Pride Fest is a reaffirmation of those values and a commitment to a supportive and inclusive school community. Stay tuned for more pictures coming to our website later this week!

We are thrilled to premier the filmed versions of both casts' performances of The Caribbean Odyssey! A huge shoutout to the cast and crew who worked so hard on this production and to the team at El Puente who helped bring this production to life.

The warranties for iPads provided by the DOE during the pandemic are expiring at the end of this school year. If your student's iPad is currently broken or in need of repair, please return it to school by WEDNESDAY so that we can get it repaired for free and returned to you before summer break. Please attach a note with your child's name and their homeroom to the device if possible to make collection and distribution as easy as possible.
