PS3 - InfoSite PS3 Newsletter Sept. 23, 1998 Welcome Back! Welcome back to returning families, and greetings to new students and their families. This year PS3 has 475 students in 18 classrooms. Joining PS3 at 490 Hudson Street are the Bridges School, which has 130 3rd through 5th graders in five classes on the fourth floor, and the Greenwich Village Middle School, with about 95 students on the fifth floor. Sheila Marantz is director of Bridges and Jackie Grossman is director of GVMS. New to the PS3 staff this year are: New to the school late last year was Angel Pagan, who replaced Otto LaMantia as custodial engineer. Welcome also to the student teachers who will be working in classrooms this fall. Parents, teachers and staff are welcome to drop by Room 200, the Community Room, to chat with one another, sign up for afterschool activities and learn more about school events. Principal's Letter Dear Families, These first few days of the new school year have been filled with much anticipation of all that can happen throughout the entire year. The education of young children is most successful when teachers and parents work together. I encourage each parent to get to know their child's teacher well. These relationships will benefit our children in every way imaginable. Remember that Meet the Teacher night is this week, Thurs., Sept. 24 at 6:30 p.m. There is much that is new at the school this year: the beginning of the day, dismissal, bus pick up, room changes, schedules, entrances, the addition of another school, etc. I would like to thank everyone who participated in making these changes work as well as they do. Hours of planning, creative thinking, sometimes lengthy physical labor, and the cooperative efforts of teachers, parents, and the custodial staff have paid off. In addition, the Greenwich Village Middle School is thrilled with the kind way they have been treated. I thank everyone involved with these projects. | |
