PS 75 "The School of Research & Discovery"

Greetings Parents, Guardians, and School Community!

Happy New Year! As we embark on 2025, please take time to reflect on your student’s educational experience so far. Has your child been reading daily?  Is your child performing to the best of his/her ability?  The New Year provides an opportunity to re-focus on what has been achieved and what still needs to be accomplished.  It is very important that children come to school daily and school doors open early to support families.  

We have many resources available for our families to continue the educational experience at home.  Let us know what would be most helpful to you.  Student and family input is critical to our efforts toward continuous communication and academic improvement.  We have some exciting plans for the New Year!  Our PTA, Parent Coordinator, and City Year Team has some fun family events and workshops planned.  Look out for information sent home via backpacks and on social media.  In closing, I wish you all a healthy and prosperous new year and look forward to working with you and for you to serve our school community.  

Sincerely,

Mrs. Marines Arrieta-Cruz
