Welcome to P771K

School Year 2024-2025

Dear P771K Families and Guardians,

I am eager to welcome you all to the 2024-20245 school year and look forward to a year of great opportunities, learning, and continued improvement! P771K, Education with H.E.A.R.T. stands for our commitment to ensuring High Expectations, Effort, Acceptance, Resilience, and Teamwork. These values continue to drive all the work that we do on a daily basis and is part of our PBIS system. As we enter this year together, our focus will be on literacy, academic, social, and emotional growth for every student. P771K will uphold the NYC Reads initiative as well as the Chancellor's Pillars (Reimaging the Student Experience, Scaling Sustaining and Restoring What Works, Prioritizing Wellness, and Engaging Families To Be Our True Partners).

As a school leader, I assure you that I value communication with parents and see you as a partner in your child's learning. You will have a growing team to support you consisting of teachers, Assistant Principals, Related Service Providers, and paraprofessionals. At P771K, we work together to serve our students and families. Please visit our website and our Instagram page frequently for updates and information. I ask that you also check your emails. Please contact 718-891-3600 if you have updated your email information. You are a partner in your child's educational experience and consider us a team in this journey. Throughout the year, we will organize various events based on parent surveys including workshops, and initiatives to engage our families and the community. I am proud to have a growing list of "Friends of P771K" who help support our school community. I look forward to getting to know your family and building our partnership.

I am committed to ensuring the best education possible for each child. I want all students to have the academic, literacy based skills and social/emotional skills that they need to be as independent as possible. At P771K we have reimagined the student experience to ensure vocational skills and life experiences are embedded in our instructional practices. I want your child to be eager to come to school and look forward to each day ahead. I assure you that your child will learn in a safe and nurturing environment. In addition, P771K strives to ensure that students are ready for their post-secondary experiences. Together, we will celebrate many successes and accomplishments that our children make.

I look forward to the year ahead. Let's make the 2024-2025 rich with learning, communication, and a continued commitment to our children. I anticipate this to be a successful school year. If I can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. My door is always openPrincipal

Sincerely,

Vinnette Ferrandino

Principal
