Dear P.S./I.S. 192 School Community,


As the holiday season draws on, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support of P.S./I.S. 192 The Magnet School for Math and Science Inquiry. It is a privilege to serve our students and their families every day.


November was a vibrant month for our school, filled with engaging events that brought our community together, including the Fall Festival Family Event, Spelling Bee, Parent-Teacher Conferences, our Schoolwide Assembly, and the Pre-K Thanksgiving Family Celebration, to name a few. We appreciate the participation of families who attended these gatherings - your involvement is invaluable.


We extend our congratulations to the winners of the Spelling Bee: Salman Rafi from Class 6-504, Alveena Sharker from Class 7-507, and Eamonn Dougherty from Class 7-513. A special thank you goes to all participants and to Mrs. Santiago for her efforts in organizing this event.


The Pre-K Thanksgiving celebration was a wonderful occasion, with families sharing delicious meals and fostering connections within our community. We are grateful to our dedicated Pre-K teachers, paraprofessionals, and staff for their hard work in making this event a success.


All these events couldn’t be possible without the support of our amazing and dedicated staff.

Important Parent Updates:


Attendance Policy: Please do your best to have your child attend school daily.! P.S./I.S. 192 does not take missed school days lightly. If your child is sick please send a doctor’s note upon their return (All absences will be reflected on your child’s attendance record).
Arrivals/Lateness: It's very important that students arrive on time each day. We open the doors at 7:40AM for all students that would like to eat breakfast or to come in and chat with friends. School begins promptly at 8:00 AM. Any student that arrives after 8:00 AM will be marked late.
Create a NYCSA account: this account helps you view your child’s academic progress, report card, transportation, health information, IEP information and attendance. If you need assistance creating your child’s account, please contact our school Parent Coordinator, Ms. Solange Cisneros-Steinert at scisnerossteine@schools.nyc.gov.
Emergency Card Information (Blue Card): You completed emergency blue cards the first week of school. Please notify us of any changes to your contact information (phone number, home address, health information, emergency numbers, etc.).
Communication is a key to success. Please maintain open communication with your classroom teacher, cluster teacher and out of classroom service providers.
Please ensure your child reports back to school on January 5, 2026.


We wish you a safe and happy holiday season and look forward to a healthy New Year, 2026!

We Speak - English Class

Dear PS/IS 192 School Community,

We are excited to announce our collaboration with the NYC Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs - We Speak NYC.

We Speak NYC (WSNYC)  is the city's FREE English language learning program developed by the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs. WSNYC provides conversation classes where participants can practice speaking English while learning about immigrants rights and NYC services.

Classes meet once a week for 8 weeks. Each week, we gather for two hours to watch and discuss a different episode from our award-winning video series.There is NO English skill level requirement, but materials are most useful for high-beginner to intermediate learners.

Tuesday, November 18th & 25th at 9:30AM - 11:30AM

Classes will be held at PS/IS 192, and it is essential to present a photo ID for entry into the building.
