Welcome to The Active Learning Elementary School (TALES) P.S. 244Q!
In the few short years since our founding we've accomplished so much at TALES. I am proud to be a part of a great school community that works hard to ensure that our students get the best education they deserve.
As a school we have seen great success academically as well as seen success in our mission to provide a comprehensive health and nutrition education. P.S. 244Q has had among the highest test scores in the city, an attendance rate that surpasses that of the city, and has been named one of the healthiest schools in the nation by the Alliance for a Healthier Generation.

A Message from the Assistant Principal
Prior to becoming the Assistant Principal at TALES, I worked in NYC public schools for the past 10 years—as a classroom teacher, science teacher, and Literacy Specialist. My last experience in the classroom was in the role of Kindergarten teacher at TALES. From this experience and from my privileged role of “Mommy”, my interest in and passion for early childhood education was piqued and has grown immensely.
I am a firm believer that all children are capable of fantastic success from birth, and believe that as educators, we are given the privilege to work with children to help nurture their creativity and hone their young minds to always seek knowledge, ask questions, and effect positive change in the world. I am excited to work with the TALES community in reaching these goals for our children together.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, particularly exploring the world anew through my daughter’s eyes.
Best,
Tu Harris
Assistant Principal
