P.S. 212 Principal’s Message

Dear Parents/Guardians,

I hope this letter finds you well. As we navigate through the school year, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for entrusting your children to us at PS 212. It's truly an honor to be part of your child's educational journey.  I am writing to emphasize the importance of our partnership in ensuring the success and well-being of your child. Collaboration between home and school plays a vital role in supporting your child's academic and personal growth. Your involvement, support, and communication are invaluable to us, and I encourage you to reach out whenever you have questions, concerns, or suggestions. I also want to take this opportunity to remind you of the importance of regular attendance and punctuality. Consistent attendance is essential for academic progress and helps foster a sense of responsibility and accountability in our students.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, concerns, or if there's anything specific, you'd like to discuss regarding your child's education.

School Survey

Dear Parent/Guardian,
The 2025 Parent Survey is here!  The results of this survey will be reported and will be available to view publicly.  IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU PARTICIPATE IN THE SURVEY.  We ask that all families complete the survey at www.nyccschoolsurvey.org  or paper and pen using the green envelope sent home.  Survey opens Monday, February 10, 2025.
What if I have more than one child in school?
 You only need to complete one survey per family. Each family who completes the survey will be entered into a super raffle. Notify your child’s teacher ( including siblings) if you completed it so the class can get a party. 
 
How can parents/guardians take the survey ?
Parents/guardians can take the survey on PAPER or online at www.nyccschoolsurvey.org. To access the survey, parents should enter the letter“ f ” (lowercase) followed by their students identification (OSIS) number which can be found on their report card, student ID card or NYCSA account. (e.g. f123456789)
Is the survey translated? 
Yes. The online and the paper version of the survey for parents/guardians and students is provided in English as well as nine additional languages offered by the NYCDOE: Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, French, Haitian Creole, Korean, Russian, Spanish and Urdu. The online survey is available at NYCSchoolSurvey.org.
 
The deadline is April 4, 2025.  Return your envelope sealed or contact your child’s teacher for a chance to enter our SUPER RAFFLE. All classes that have 100% Participation will get an ice cream party!    Please contact Ilia Liff Iliff@schools.nyc.gov  or 347-563-4628 if you need assistance.
