PS 75 "The School of Research & Discovery"

Greetings Parents, Guardians, and School Community!

I would like to start the school year off with a warm welcome to our new and returning students.  Our students are going to be immersed in our challenging and creative school curriculum and will be experiencing new opportunities daily.

As a school community, I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events.  It is going to be a busy school year; social and academic lunch clubs and other exciting programs have been planned.

It is our responsibility to encourage our children to become considerate, knowledgeable thinkers.  Additionally, attendance is our focus.  Our children have to be in school to learn, grow and succeed.  Please bring your students into the building and visit Urban Health for their medical needs.  I look forward to working with you for our children’s greater success.                                                                     

Sincerely,

Mrs. Marines Arrieta-Cruz
