Principal's Family Letter

June 2026

 

Dear P.S./I.S. 192 Families,

 

As we approach the conclusion of the school year, I would like to express my gratitude for your trust in us at P.S./I.S. 192. A heartfelt thank you goes to the parents who have actively participated in our events, PTA meetings, and celebrations; your engagement has been vital in nurturing our community spirit. 

 

We also extend our appreciation to our dedicated PTA Board members for the 2025-2026 school year: Saiqa Haleem, Fatima Mohammed, and Tina Velez, for their unwavering support of our school community. 

We are currently seeking individuals to fill the PTA secretary position, as well as roles on the School Leadership Team, and Title 1 PAC.  The PTA plays a vital role in making student/family activities happen.  The SLT is involved in schoolwide decision making, including instructional decisions.  The Title I PAC is involved in decisions related to the school Title 1 budget.  All of these teams are crucial to the success of PS/IS 192 and your children.   If you are interested in joining any of these teams, please contact our Parent Coordinator, Ms. Solange Cisneros-Steinert, at scisnerossteine@schools.nyc.gov for further details.

 

Please remember that doors open at 7:40 AM for students wishing to have breakfast, with the school day commencing at 8:00 AM. Students arriving after this time will be marked late, which will be reflected in their attendance records. If you are transitioning to another school or relocating out of state, kindly inform us.  We strongly encourage all students to remain in school until the last day, Friday, June 26th (please note this is a full day of instruction).  Please refrain from taking your child out of school early for a vacation unless absolutely necessary.  Students with under 90% attendance for the school year are considered chronically absent, and it is important to avoid that designation.  

 

We wish you a safe, enjoyable, and memorable summer filled with family and friends. We encourage you to promote reading and math activities for your children, and for those with a Cool Culture Family Pass, we recommend visiting cultural institutions. Please visit Cool Culture for more detalies: https://www.coolculture.org/






Lastly, congratulations to our pre-K students moving up to Kindergarten, our Kindergarteners advancing to 1st grade, our 5th graders transitioning to 6th hy grade, and our 8th graders graduating to high school. To the 5th graders heading to new schools and our 8th graders, your growth and resilience have been commendable, and you will be greatly missed. 

We are incredibly proud of your achievements and wish you all the best in your future endeavors. 

 

Don’t forget to check our June calendar for all upcoming events.
