Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we welcome the month of November, I would like to take a moment to thank you for your continued support and partnership. We have had a wonderful start to the school year, and it is a pleasure to see our students learning, growing, and demonstrating the leadership skills that make PS 212 such a special community.
November is a time to reflect on gratitude, kindness, and the importance of helping others. As a Leader in Me school, we encourage our students to practice the 7 Habits, show respect, take responsibility, and make positive choices each day. We are proud of the way our students continue to grow as leaders both inside and outside the classroom.
As the weather gets colder, please remember to ensure that your child comes to school dressed appropriately. We will be going out to recess daily (weather permitting). I also encourage all families to make daily attendance a priority. Every school day is an opportunity for your child to learn something new, build friendships, and participate in meaningful classroom experiences.
With Thanksgiving approaching, let us continue to work together to create a school community where every child feels welcomed, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential. Your involvement and communication are important to your child’s success, and we are grateful to have you as partners in your child’s education.
On behalf of the entire PS 212 staff, I wish all our families a happy, healthy, and peaceful Thanksgiving. May this season bring you many opportunities to spend quality time with loved ones and reflect on all the things for which we are thankful.
Thank you for being an important part of the PS 212 family!
Warm regards,
Rina Horne
Principal
