P.S. 212 Principal’s Message

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we prepare to open our doors for another exciting school year this September, I want to extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to each of you. Whether you are returning members of our school community or joining us for the first time, we are thrilled to have your family as part of our school.

The start of a new school year is always a special time—filled with fresh opportunities, renewed goals, and the promise of growth and discovery. Our dedicated team of teachers and staff have been hard at work preparing classrooms, planning engaging lessons, and ensuring a safe, supportive, and inspiring learning environment for every student.

We believe that strong partnerships between home and school are essential to a successful educational journey. Your involvement, encouragement, and support make a world of difference in your child’s learning, and we look forward to working closely with you throughout the year. Together, we can nurture a community where all students feel valued, challenged, and empowered to reach their full potential.

Please be on the lookout for upcoming information regarding school events and ways you can get involved at P.S. 212.

The first day of school is on September 4^th, 2025 and an arrival map, Family Handbook and first day information will be posted on our website in August.

If you have any questions, concerns, or simply want to say hello, my door is always open for the new school year which starts on September 4, 2025.

Let’s make this school year one to remember—for all the right reasons.

With warm regards,

Rina Horne

Principal
