P.S. 212 Principal’s Message

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome back to a brand new school year! I hope this letter finds you and your family rested, recharged, and ready for another year of learning, growth, and success. The start of a school year is always an exciting time, filled with fresh opportunities, new friendships, and the joy of discovery.

Our dedicated teachers and staff have been working hard to prepare engaging lessons, welcoming classrooms, and meaningful experiences for your children. At PS 212, we remain committed to creating a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment where every child can thrive both academically and socially.

This year, we will continue to focus on building strong partnerships between school and home. We know that when families and schools work together, children succeed. I encourage you to stay connected—whether through our school website, newsletters, REMIND, Google Class, family events, or simply reaching out with questions or ideas.

We are thrilled to welcome back our returning students and to greet our new families joining the P.S.212 community. Together, let’s make this year one filled with curiosity, kindness, and accomplishment.

Thank you for your continued support and trust. I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events and working together to make this year our best yet!

With warm regards,

Rina Horne

Principal
