I.S.25Q. The Adrien Block School is a junior high school which currently serves grades six through eight. The school dismantled ninth grade due to lack of sufficient participation by students. The building is located at Flushing, Queens, New York City and shares space with another school, The World Journalism Preparatory School. The school is in District 25. Part of the school's basement is shared with P233 or Class Y21; a school for disabled children. The Adrien Block School added sixth grade beginning at 2007-2008 school year. The school has a principal, three assistant principals, and a dean. The current principal is Mary Ellen Bierne who has served as the principal since the beginning of the 2009 school year. Each grade has an individual assistant principal, which are Nancy DePoalo (seventh grade), Irene Cacanando-Zimmet (eighth grade), and Jordan Fitzgerald (sixth grade). The dean is Catherine Piccolo who has been since the beginning of the 2010 school year. This school contains three SP (Special Placement) classes in each grade which are 601 and 602, 701and 702, and 801 and 802 (It was changed in 2015 and changed on Wiki by student... It used to be 21 and 22 for 6, 7, 8, for ex. 621) . The students in the SP classes receive more challenging school work than the other regular classes. The school also contains three SE (Special Education) classes in each grade which are 631, 691, and 693, 731, 791, and 793, 831, 891, and 893. The students in the SE classes help children with minor disabilities; learning disabilities such as ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), anger management, Autism, etc. The eighth grade SP classes learn eighth grade and ninth grade curriculum in order to participate in the Living Environment Regents High School examinations as well as the Integrated Algebra Regents. These students do not have to retake the Regents in their first year of high school if they pass the exams in eighth grade. Each year the students are given the statewide ELA (English Language Arts) exam and the Mathematics exam. The eighth grade students often take the ELA and Math exams in addition to the statewide science exam. The school recently added the ability for the students to join various after school clubs such as the Drama Club, the Track team, and others. The Drama Club is run by the eighth grade English teacher Brian Georgia. The Track team is run by the sixth grade guidance counselor Daniel Flaxman and the Physical Education teacher Steve Margaroli. The school also has the Senior Committee; a group of several eighth grade students who come up with ideas and such for senior activities and so on. It is run by the seventh-eighth grade Social Studies teacher Evan Weintraub, the Physical Education teacher Steve Margaroli, and the seventh grade guidance counselor Rachel Petruskie. The school offers talent courses that take place during the course of a school day. The students choose from Dance, taught by Nuszer, Band, taught by Berger, Keyboard, taught by Mishina, Chorus, taught by Lupinacci, and Art, taught by Tsamis. Students choose a talent during their first year at the school and usually remain in that class until their year of graduation. Talent classes take place three times each week for one period each day a student has talent. When students enter eighth grade it is mandatory they partake in language classes. The school currently offers the Spanish language as a course. Students used to take language classes in their seventh grade year as well but the start of the 2011-2012 school year relieved the seventh grade of this course. Most classes in all three grades are given periods of class known as Technology and Library. Students who take Technology spend a period of class one to three times a week in the computer lab. Students who take Library spend a period in the library one to three times a week. Technology and Library classes are not optional; depending on the class a student is in determines if their class takes the course or not. ==References== ;Notes 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「I.S.25Q.
