A message from our Principal, Ms. Militello
Dear P.S.889 Students and Families,
My name is M. Lucy Militello and I am so excited to introduce myself as the new Principal, I.A. of P.S.889. I am honored to have the opportunity to lead the students, staff and parents of this amazing school. My official start date is Monday, August 30th and I would like to share with you that Ms. Anderson and I have been working together this month to ensure a smooth transition.
My experience over the last 25 years in District 22 has been as teacher, staff developer and assistant principal. My career began in the classroom, first as third grade teacher, then kindergarten, first grade ICT, fifth grade ENL and had the wonderful opportunity to teach in the District’s CIG (Center for Intellectually Gifted) program. I was later invited to be a literacy staff developer at P.S.217 and had the wonderful opportunity to engage in both teaching and learning alongside teachers and students. Most recently, I served as one of the Assistant Principals at P.S. 217. I am thrilled to bring my skills as an educational leader to P.S 889 and to work with you as a partner in education to ensure your child's success.
On a personal note, I am the daughter of immigrant parents and an English Language Learner. I attended a District 22 elementary school as a child. I am also the proud mother of two teenage boys, Ethan and Liam, who also attended District 22 schools. I feel very invested in this diverse and inclusive district and feel humbled that I have been asked to lead this amazing school.
My initial goal for this school year is to ensure that all children are healthy, happy and safe. For many students, this will be their first time in the building in 18 months and I want to assure you that their safety and well-being will be my upmost priority. Therefore, my focus for the first week back is to normalize the school day, have students acclimate to the building, and create positive connections with other students and staff, all of which are essential for successful learning and growth moving forwards.
I can’t wait to finally meet all of you in person and get to know my new PS 889 family.
Sincerely, Ms. Militello
