  • School Crossing Guard Retiring

    Good evening P.S./I.S. Families,

    Our beloved school crossing guard Ms. Laurie has decided to hang up her crossing guard vest and retire this school year.

    In heat, bitter cold, rain, snow, and sunshine Ms. Laurie has been positioned on the corner of Richmond and Spring since 2013 when P.S./I.S. 48 first opened.

    We invite you and your family to help us celebrate Ms. Laurie. STOP by give her a wave, wish her well and simply say THANK YOU for all the years of dedication keeping our school community safe.

It has been a pleasure meeting many of you at various events, and I look forward to connecting with even more of you in the days ahead.

During my school visits and community conversations, I have come to deeply appreciate your partnerships and advocacy for our students. Your voices matter, and I am eager to continue engaging with you in the weeks to come.

    I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Wilson for her years of service to District 31. As I step into this role, I am committed to working closely with our principals, educators, community partners and our amazing families to elevate student achievement and support the social-emotional well-being of every student. Our focus remains steadfast: ensuring that every child in our district receives a high quality education that prepares them for a bright starts and bold futures. 

    Moving forward, our shared vision will be guided by the belief that "Together is Better."
