Welcome to P.S. 939 Sunset School of Cultural Learning
Our Mission
At P.S. 939, our students will become culturally and civically responsible. They will be aware of the needs of their own communities and understand the diverse communities that make up our society. This awareness will be developed through a purposeful and enriching curriculum. In creating a fair learning environment, students will gain the knowledge, attitudes, and skills needed to understand and manage their emotions, empathize with others, and build positive relationships. Our mission is to prepare students of all backgrounds and abilities to be engaged global citizens through community and self‑expression.
Programs at 939
Dual Language Program (Spanish–English)
Our Dual Language program develops bilingualism, biliteracy, and cross‑cultural understanding through instruction in both Spanish and English. Students learn to think, speak, and collaborate across languages.
ASD Nest Program
The ASD Nest program provides a supportive, inclusive environment where autistic students learn alongside peers. Our team focuses on social‑emotional growth, communication, and academic success.
Cultural Learning & Global Citizenship
Through hands-on projects, community partnerships, and celebrations of diverse cultures, students learn to appreciate the world around them and become active, thoughtful global citizens.
Arts & Enrichment
Students explore creativity through visual arts, dance, music, and performance. Partnerships with arts organizations bring high‑quality enrichment experiences into the classroom.
Social‑Emotional Learning (SEL)
Our SEL approach helps students understand their emotions, build empathy, and develop strong peer relationships — directly supporting our mission of community and self‑expression.
After‑School Programs
We offer after‑school opportunities that include academic support, clubs, and enrichment activities that extend learning beyond the school day.

The Painted Cloud: All of Us
Thank you, Sarah and Julian, for this amazing partnership.
“This 40-foot-long mural contains 7 graphs, which provide a snapshot of the P.S. 939 community.
The Painted Cloud led a multidisciplinary Family Engagement project in Spring 2025. This project was community-rooted. It involved the K–4 students of PS 939 and their families.
The project emphasized connection. It aimed to connect students, caregivers, and the broader school community. This emphasis aligned with PS 939’s mission. The school aims to prepare students of all backgrounds and abilities. They should become engaged global citizens through community and self-expression.
The project was completed over 3 family engagement workshops to create a video + song, mural, and animated logo” – The Painted Cloud
