Principal's Letter

Dear P.S. 215 Family,

It is my absolute privilege to join your extraordinary school community as the incoming Interim
Acting Principal. I am honored to have the opportunity to lead a great school with such amazing
students, dedicated faculty, staff and supportive families. I can assure you that I share your
commitment to support and serve ALL of our students and families. I also look forward to
supporting teachers and staff in the pursuit of making the PS 215 educational experience a
special one.

For the past 9 years, I have worked as an assistant principal in District 21 and was delighted to be
a part of the PS 97 family. During this time, I was committed to creating the best possible
learning environment for our students and also building supportive and trusting relationships
with the entire school community. Throughout these years, I was constantly learning about the
needs of our community, so I could support it best. I am now very excited to learn about the PS
215 community and to have the opportunity to work alongside you as we continue serving the
students. I am ready to pick up where Dr. Bove left off and to continue making the school better
every day.

As a mother and an educator, I believe wholeheartedly that every child deserves a quality
education filled with academic rigor and enrichment opportunities. I am humbled and excited to
be entrusted to lead PS 215 and to provide these experiences to our children.
I cannot wait to get to know all of you and to earn your trust as we go on this journey together.
Please know that my door is always going to be open for all of you. I truly welcome your input
and look forward to building our shared vision of the future of PS 215 together!

Sincerely,
Valerie Miller
