Message from The Principal

multi color STEM images in PS 52 logo 

Dear PS 52 Families,

I am reaching out to share the bittersweet news that Ms. Bharrat, our Parent Coordinator, will be departing from the Department of Education to pursue her career in counseling. While we are thrilled for her new journey, her presence will certainly be missed here at PS 52. During our search for a new parent coordinator, please don’t hesitate to contact Ms. Martin, Ms. Nelle, or Ms. Haskins with any concerns. You may also call the main office (718) 528-2238, where someone will be ready to assist you.

In Service of Children,

Francesca Joseph-Fleurant

Principal
