Welcome to The Spruce Street School's Blog!

The Spruce Street School will open in Fall 2009, serving families in Lower Manhattan's Community School District 2. For the 2009-2010 school year, we will serve kindergarten students and families. Our school is rooted in our unique, urban location. Our students will use our Lower Manhattan landscape to study the past, engage in the present, and impact the future.

This blog is intended to provide additional information and updated resources for parents and other members of The Spruce Street community.
