PS/IS 192 (20K192) - The Magnet School for Math and Science Inquiry

May 2025

Dear Families,

P.S./I.S.192 is excited to welcome you to a new month brimming with learning opportunities and activities. 

We hope you enjoyed the Spring Recess, taking time to relax with family and friends while creating lasting memories in the pleasant weather.  May is mental health awareness month, and we encourage you to prioritize your health and well-being. “You cannot pour from an empty cup; take care of yourself first.” -from the internet

As we approach the final two months of the school year, we kindly request that you ensure your child attends school every day and arrives on time.

The final Parent-Teacher Virtual Conference is scheduled for Thursday, May 1st, from 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM; we encourage you to take this opportunity to meet with your child’s teacher to see what the class has been learning and to hear what they will be learning next year. 

We’d like to take a moment to cheer on our students in grades 3 through 8 as they forge ahead through state testing season.  It is essential that your child is well-rested and remembers to bring their glasses if needed. We have included the assessment and exam calendar alongside the monthly calendar for your convenience.  Please encourage your child to do their best!  We believe in them!

Teacher Appreciation Week is scheduled from Monday, May 5th to Friday, May 9th. During this time, we aim to present a token of our gratitude to our exceptional teachers and dedicated support staff for their unwavering commitment to educating our children.  We invite families to drop off a dessert the morning of Friday, 5/9 so our staff can enjoy some well-deserved treats.  

We want to take a moment to send a warm Mother's Day message to our amazing mothers. Your essential role in nurturing not just your children but the entire school community deserves recognition. I encourage everyone to show gratitude (not just on May 11th, but always) for the invaluable contributions of our mothers.  

The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) will hold elections on Tuesday, May 13th. If you're interested in joining the PTA board and wish to run for the positions of president, secretary, or treasurer, please reach out to Mr. Peter Campanella at pcampanella1@doeexternal.nyc.

Your involvement in the school community is vital, whether you can spare just an hour or dedicate an entire day; your support is immensely valued. We are currently seeking volunteers for several upcoming events, including 

• Teacher Appreciation Week from May 5th to May 9th
• Pre-K to Grade 2 Field Day on May 6th
• PTA Nomination Committee  May 12th
• Career Day May 15th
• STEAM Fair the week of May 19th

Please reach out to our school Parent Coordinator, Ms. Solange Cisneros-Steinert at scisnerossteine@schools.nyc.gov or call at 718-633-3061 ext: 1040 or 2056 if you would like to volunteer in these events or any other event on our May calendar.
