A Message from the Principal

Dear PS/MS 71 Families,
 
Holiday Time is Family Time! As we approach the holidays and winter recess, I would like to take a moment to wish you and your families a joyful holiday season. School will be closed December 24– January 2nd. During the winter break, we hope that you share the gift of time with your children and continue to support their academic growth and success. 
 
As we approach the winter months, I would like to highlight some important events that took place last month and keep you “In the Loop” for what’s to come:
Honor Roll Assembly: We celebrated students in grades 3-8 who achieved high academic standards in all subject areas and demonstrated exemplary behavior for marking period 1.  Students with averages of 90%-94% earned Dean’s  Honor Roll and students with averages of 95% and above earned Principal’s Honor Roll.  Students were recognized with certificates at out Honor Roll Assembly. We are proud of their hard work and academic accomplishments.  
We held our annual National Junior Honor Society Inductee Ceremony on Monday, November 17th.  Students who demonstrated high academic performance, leadership qualities, and the commitment to serve others to make the school, community, and the world a better place were inducted into NJHS for the 2025-2026 school year. 
K-2 Sing Along:  Will be held on December 19th in our auditorium.  Students are encouraged to wear cozy pajamas on this day as they sing holiday songs with our music teachers.  This event is for students only.  
 
Thank you for being partners in your child’s education, and your continuous support is greatly appreciated. Wishing you and your families a safe and healthy winter season. 
Happy Holidays! Mrs. Mirando
