Dear PS 230 Families,
We want to share some very important PS 230 news.
First, we are deeply saddened to announce that Ms. Kathleen Kalbacher (Drain) has retired from PS 230. She has been deeply committed to the PS 230 community for over over 20 years and the majority of her career, as a teacher, coach, administrator, and parent. She has and continues to advocate for the children of PS 230 through her mentoring, teacher and family support, and creation of events that support and engage the whole community (such as our Hoedown and 5th grade trip!). Even in her retirement, we are happy that she wants to continue to donate her time and volunteer to support these events and more in order to ensure that our children continue to benefit and thrive from her love and devotion to our community. Please wish her health, happiness, and care in her retirement.
We also want to officially announce that our new Parent Coordinator has begun this week. Ummeh Kashem now joins the PS 230 community and is excited to meet all of you and understand your needs and how to best support you during your time at PS 230. Her main office is located out of Lower School and her email address is: ukashem2@schools.nyc.gov
As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.
Warm regards,
Maria Della Ragione
Principal, PS 230
