Principal’s Letter (December 18, 2020)

December 18, 2020

Greetings,

We want to wish everyone a safe healthy Winter Break.  Take time during the break to turn off screens, put the devices away, and spend time together.  Consider reflecting on this past year.  While many of us have come to think of 2020 as one of our toughest years, I have been honored to be a part of a community that  genuinely cares for each other.  Thank you for all you have done; from wearing masks, supporting teachers, helping  your child with remote learning, and most of all your patience.  As a community, we can start fresh again in the new year.  We remember the community members we have lost over this past year to COVID, not only at PS 20, but as a city.  Please be safe over the next few weeks.   I will be available during the Winter Break for emergencies via email (spinto4@schools.nyc.gov).

 Queremos desearles a todos unas vacaciones de invierno saludables y seguras. Tómese un tiempo durante el descanso para apagar las pantallas, guardar los dispositivos y pasar tiempo juntos. Considere reflexionar sobre este último año. Muchos de nosotros hemos llegado a pensar en 2020 como uno de nuestros años más difíciles, pero para mi me ha honrado ser parte de una comunidad que se preocupa genuinamente por los demás. Gracias por todo lo que han hecho; desde usar máscaras, apoyar a los maestros, ayudar a su hijo con el aprendizaje remoto y, sobre todo, su paciencia. Como comunidad, podemos comenzar de nuevo en el nuevo año. Recordamos a los miembros de la comunidad que perdimos durante el año pasado a causa de COVID, no solo en la escuela PS 20, sino como ciudad. Esté seguro durante las próximas semanas. Estaré disponible durante las vacaciones de invierno para emergencias por correo electrónico (spinto4@schools.nyc.gov).

我们希望每个人都能安全健康地度过寒假。在休息时间花点时间关闭屏幕,收起设备,和家人在一起。考虑反思过去的一年。虽然我们许多人已经将2020年视为我们最艰难的一年之一,但我很荣幸能够成为真正相互关心的社区的一员。谢谢您所做的一切;从戴口罩、为老师提供支持,到帮助您的孩子进行远程学习以及最重要的耐心。作为一个社区,我们可以在新的一年重新开始。我们记得在过去的一年中,不仅在二十小学,而且在整个个城市,由于新冠我们失去了的社区成员。请在接下来的几周内保持安全。寒假期间,若有紧急事件,请通过电子邮件与我联系(spinto4@schools.nyc.gov)。
