New School Phone Number
Dear Parents:
P.S. 41 recently went through a phone system upgrade to fiber optic lines. With the upgrade we needed to change our school phone number. The new phone number is929-267-5940. The old phone number will work for several months, but it will eventually stop working and direct you to call 929-267-5940.
Sincerely,
Joseph Ferrara
Principal
