New Assistant Principal
Dear PS 295 Community,
I hope that everyone was able to take advantage of the Mid-Winter Recess to connect with your children and family in ways that may not always be possible during the regular school year. Just before the break, we celebrated the 100th day of school. For many students, particularly in the lower grades, it is an important landmark in the year that serves as a reminder of just how far we have all come since September.
September of 2023 brought the introduction of Ms. Jeannette Echeverri, who joined the PS 295 community as the interim acting assistant principal. Since then, she has been an instrumental part of the school community. You would have seen her at the - whether helping to organize the Holiday Parranda celebration she brought the idea to PS 295. You may have engaged with her while she was taking part in a PTA meeting or Cafe Conmigo. You may even have seen her at the Winter performance of Peter Pan. I am happy to announce the appointment of Ms. Echeverri as assistant principal of PS 295.
I take joy in sharing a letter with you that she has written to the community. Please see her message to the community below.
Sincerely,
Valerie Vanderpuije
Principal, P.S. 295
