Dear Parents,

On behalf of our school community, I thank you for visiting our school's website. I am hopeful the information and resources will inform you about the various academic, enrichment, and sports programs that we offer to our scholars.

The school has built strong partnerships with the community and private organizations to help with this endeavor. 

PS/MS 95 is fortunate to have staff and faculty who are devoted and experienced to help our students to maximize their academic potential. I am hopeful that this website will keep you abreast of the happenings in our school community. I thank you for trusting us and for being a true partner in our quest to provide a holistic educational experience to every student at our school.

Michelle Di Renzo
Assistant Principal
​Grades K-2

My name is Michelle DiRenzo. I have been part of the PS/MS 95 community since 2002.  As the Assistant Principal for kindergarten through second grade my educational philosophy is that all students can learn in an inclusive and supportive learning environment.  I began my educational career as a first-grade teacher, and then transitioned to Instructional Coach. In 2019, I was welcomed into the Assistant Principal role.
 
I look forward to working in you to ensure the success of our students.  

Jennifer Reyes
Assistant Principal
​Grades 3-5

I am Jennifer Reyes, and I am honored to be the new Assistant Principal at your child's school. Let me take this opportunity to formally introduce myself. I have proudly worked at every level within the school system for the past 18 years, and I am eager to begin this journey with all of you.

Throughout my professional life, I have served as a paraprofessional, a teacher, a bilingual program coordinator, an instructional leader in math and science, and in various high-stakes leadership roles, including the last 6 years as an Assistant Principal for Middle School.

As your child's educational leader, I strongly believe that by establishing a collaborative learning environment with high expectations, we will build positive relationships that support academic and social growth.

To initiate this work together, we will continue to focus on all the standards and expectations the school has set forth while homing in on preparing our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders by prioritizing study skills, time management skills, and encouraging them to take academic risks to go beyond mediocrity. All of this will prepare them for middle school and beyond.

On a personal note, I enjoy traveling and visiting new places, and I proudly represent the Caribbean as a second-generation Dominican and Puerto Rican.
​
Thank you for your support, and I look forward to working together for the success of our students.
