Dear P.S. 165 families,

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the Parent Coordinator of P.S. 165Q. As a Parent Coordinator, my main goal is to increase family engagement within our school and our community as a whole. I am here to serve as a liaison to assist each parent / guardian and student with any concerns or issues that may arise. I understand that Elementary School is an important stage in a child’s life, and it is one that’s filled with questions, concerns and excitement. Family engagement is crucial for a child’s academic success from Pre-K through the 12th grade. Here at P.S 165, we are committed to creating a welcoming environment and to encouraging our families to become active participants in their child’s academic journey. By collaborating with your child’s school community, you will be establishing a pathway for clear and consistent communication with our school and yourself. An increased level of communication will result in improved academic success for our scholars. Please visit our school website for important updates at www.ps165q.net. Families are welcome to email me any questions or concerns. My email address is Dvetter@schools.nyc.gov. If you would like to reach me by phone my phone number is 1 (929) 561-1959. I look forward to working with you by email, phone, or in-person. Thank you, Donna Vetter Parent Coordinator
