Dear Parents and Guardians,  

I am thrilled to introduce myself as the new Parent Coordinator, joining the  dedicated team at PS/IS 268Q.  My name is Ms. Selena Sarmiento, you may call me Ms. Sarmiento or Ms. Selena whichever is easier for you.   I am a Jamaica, Queens resident, born in Guayaquil, Ecuador raised in Bushwick, Brooklyn.   As Parent Coordinator, my primary goal is to serve the parents of our school and to act  as a bridge between families, educators, and the community. I look forward to organizing informative workshops, and/or offering resources to support your child's academic journey, I am committed to ensuring that every parent feels  welcomed and informed.

I anticipate  getting to know each of you and working together to cultivate a culture of partnership, where every voice is heard and every child can thrive.
