Dear P.S. 161 Families,
I am thrilled to welcome you to another exciting school year at P.S. 161 The Crown! As principal, I am deeply committed to making sure our school is a place where students feel safe, supported, and challenged to do their very best.
Our vision is to build a strong community of learners where teachers, parents, and staff work together as partners in education. We believe that family engagement is essential for student success, and we encourage you to take an active role in your child’s learning — whether by attending school events, volunteering, or simply asking about your child’s day.
This year, our focus will be on improving student achievement through high-quality instruction, building positive relationships, and offering programs that support the social, emotional, and academic growth of every student. Together, we can ensure that P.S. 161 continues to be a place where students are excited to learn and proud to belong.
