Message from the Principal

Dear Students, Parents and Families,

We hope you enjoyed the February break, or at least the extra time with your children.  Parent-Teacher Conferences for the 2nd marking period will be held Thursday, March 15, 2018.  Students will have a half-day and be dismissed at 11:30 am.  We will then hold two sessions to meet with families:  12:20-2:20 pm and 4:30-7:30 pm.  We encourage you all to meet with your child's teachers.  Families will also be receiving their 2018 NYC School Survey.  Please, complete these surveys whether by post or online.  Your feedback is very important to us and helps inform school-wide planning and decision-making.  If you have any questions or are in need of support, please contact our Parent Coordinator, Ms. Veronica Brugman, at 718-822-5312, ext. 1081.  Thank you for your continued support.

Educationally yours,

Ms. Margarita Colón
