Dear Friends,

Just a Reminder: This week is Open School Week! If you wish to visit your child's class, please follow the guidelines established by the DOE.


If you want to visit your child’s class, please contact Mrs. Garguilo, our parent coordinator to schedule a visit on a day and time that is convenient and will not disrupt the school’s instructional program. It is generally not a good idea to visit schools during morning line-up, change of classes, testing periods, or dismissal. When you are visiting a school, do not disrupt your child’s class. Talking to your children during classroom visits is discouraged.

Remember, at P.S. 132, you are always welcome to schedule a classroom visit. Classroom visits are not limited to Open School Week!!

Looking Forward to Seeing Everyone on Thursday for Parent Teacher Conferences!
Educationally yours!
Mrs. Lubeck-Ceffalia
