P.S. 212 Principal’s Message.

Dear Parents and Families,

Happy March!

As we step into the month of March, we are excited to welcome the signs of spring and the many wonderful learning opportunities ahead. This is a busy and exciting time of year at our school, filled with growth, celebration, and continued academic progress. Please communicate with your child's teacher on March 5th, 2026, as part of parent teacher conferences (12:20-2:20 and 4:30-7:30 pm by appointment). School dismissal is at 11 am on 3/5/2026 . Please be on time for pick up!

March is a time when we begin to see just how much our students have grown—academically, socially, and emotionally—since the start of the school year. Our teachers continue to work hard to provide engaging lessons that challenge and support every learner. We encourage you to keep reading with your child each night and to ask them about what they are learning in class. A few extra minutes of conversation can make a big difference!

We are also looking forward to several special events this month. Be sure to check your child’s folder and our school website for specific dates and details. We kick off Civics for all week on March 9^th - wear red, white and blue. Students will be involved in many learning opportunities for civics lessons, and our leaders will present at two assemblies that showcase opportunities for voting and for learning about civics for all. Schools are closed on March 20^th in observance of EID- Eid Mubarak! Schools are closed for Spring recess on April 2, 2026, and students return on April 13th, 2026. Happy Passover & Happy Easter to all who celebrate!

Additionally, please help your child stay focused and maintain regular attendance. Every school day counts, and consistent attendance plays an important role in student success. Our Saturday program continues during the month of March 8:30 -11am.

If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas, please do not hesitate to contact the school office. Our partnership with families is essential, and we are grateful for your continued support. Please contact our parent coordinator, Ilia Liff, if you need any assistance at 347 - 563-4628/ Email Iliff@schools.nyc.gov.

Warm regards,

Rina Horne

Principal
