Principal Colby Muscarelle's March Letter
Dear P.S./I.S. 192 Community,
February was yet another exciting and busy month for us, albeit a short one! We celebrated Respect for All Month, Black History Month, Lunar New Year, the 100th Day of School, and Valentine’s Day. We were able to focus on Acceptance, Kindness, and Anti-bullying throughout the entire month.
During the week of March 4th - 8th we will celebrate Read Across America. Our school faculty will engage students with fun activities to instill the importance of reading. Studies show that students who read 20 minutes a day score significantly higher on standardized tests of reading. Please be on the lookout for more information.
P.S./I.S. 192 will host J.D.R.F fundraising events throughout the month. J.D.R.F. is the leading global organization harnessing the power of research, advocacy, and community engagements to advance life-changing breakthroughs for Type 1 Diabetes.
This event will be led by Ms. Draghi and a committee of teachers. Every donation makes a difference.
On Thursday, March 7th we will have Parent Teacher Conferences. This is an opportunity to meet with your child’s teacher(s) to discuss progress, share information, and plan strategies to help them do their very best. Parents and teachers can be an exceptionally effective team if they communicate and work hard together to support student learning. Please make sure to sign up for a conference time with your child’s teacher. Please make every effort to be on time as conference slots are short so that all student families can participate. Make sure to meet with the cluster & out of classroom teachers as well.
Your child should have already received the NYC School Survey in their backpack. Every year the DOE asks families to participate in the NYC School Survey. The survey gives you the chance to share your thoughts on the school. The information collected through the survey is designed to support a dialogue among members of the school community about making the school a better place. We ask all families to participate in this survey. Every student whose family completes a survey will receive a homework pass and each class that has 100% participation will receive a Pizza Party.
