Dear District 25 Families,
Welcome back! We are so excited to begin the 2025–2026 school year with you. Together, let’s make this our strongest year yet.
Our vision of Strong Roots, Strong Schools reminds us that when we build strong foundations for our children, our schools and communities flourish. This year, we continue to focus on helping every student grow as a confident reader and mathematician. Literacy and numeracy are the building blocks of lifelong learning, and we are committed to providing engaging experiences that spark curiosity, build mastery, and prepare students for success.
>> Watch the Video Message from Superintendent Dantona <<
Just as important, we are investing in relationships—the heart of every thriving school. Through our commitment to Connection Before Content, we make sure students feel safe, valued, and connected before diving into academics. Whether through a daily check-in, a short class activity, or simply a moment of kindness, these connections build trust, belonging, and joy.
We are also proud to share that, after working closely with our Community Education Council, District 25 has a new motto: “From many roots, growing in wellness, kindness, and community.” We invite families and students to share your thoughts on what these words mean to you, so that we can define them together as a district. Please take a few moments to contribute your voice here: www.tinyurl.com/0925familyfeedback.
For 2025–2026, our priorities include:
Stronger Reading Outcomes – We are strengthening foundational literacy skills, especially for English Language Learners, Students with Disabilities, and our Hispanic and Black learners.
Safety and Belonging – Using MindUP Moments, conversation starters, and daily connection routines to ensure all students feel physically and emotionally safe.
High-Quality Math Learning – With a focus on problem-solving and sense-making, including the rollout of Amplify Mathematics in middle schools.
Student Voice and Leadership – Through Project Soapbox and Take Action projects, preparing all 8th graders to earn credit toward the Seal of Civic Readiness.
College and Career Readiness – Encouraging families of students in grades K–3 to activate accounts in the Save for College program, giving children early financial resources for their futures.
Reducing Chronic Absenteeism – Working together to ensure children attend school every day, since consistent attendance is key to reading, math, and long-term success.
Families, we are grateful for your partnership. Together, rooted in purpose and growing with intention, we will make this a remarkable year for every child in District 25.
With excitement and gratitude,
Dr. Michael Dantona
Superintendent, District 25

I want to take moment to express my appreciation for your partnership, support and care, which makes a meaningful difference in your child’s academic journey. The early morning pep talks, reassuring words, and daily routines you establish all help build the confidence our students bring with them into the classroom.

As we move through the testing period, I encourage you to continue promoting healthy habits at home that help students do their best, such as:
Getting a good night's sleep: Rest is essential for focus and stamina.
Eating a healthy breakfast: A nutritious meal fuels both the body and mind.
Arriving to school on time: A calm and punctual start helps ease any anxiety.
Staying hydrated: Drinking water supports concentration throughout the day.
Reading directions carefully: Encourage your child to take their time and stay present.
Maintaining a positive mindset: A confident and optimistic attitude goes a long way.
A calm and steady morning can truly set the tone for a successful day of learning and testing. Let us continue working together with optimism and pride as we support our students in finishing the school year strong.

Fall 2024 District 25 Parent Survey
Dear Families,
New York City Public Schools (NYCPS) are dedicated to ensuring that every student can learn uninterrupted, including during disruptions caused by building closures. To accomplish this goal, we want to make sure that our students and staff are prepared for successful remote learning. NYCPS has developed a practice plan to support and improve schools' readiness in the event a transition to remote learning is necessary. District 25 has been selected to participate in this technology readiness activity on Thursday, November 7, 2024.
What does that mean for your child?
Your child will still come to school.
The teachers will assign a remote homework task for students to complete at home. Please ensure your child completes the digital activity at home on the above date.
If your child does not have access to either a personal internet-enabled device or a NYCPS-issued device at home, be sure to reach out to your school to request a device.
Thank you. If you have any questions, please contact your child’s school.

Dear District D25 Community,
I am delighted to announce and introduce Umit Serin as the new Deputy Superintendent for Community School District 25. Over the past six years, I have had the privilege of working with Mr. Serin in his capacity as a District 25 Principal. During this time, he has consistently exhibited strong leadership skills, particularly in creating systems and structures that drive continuous improvement. His ability to analyze, interpret, and utilize school-level data has been crucial in achieving improved outcomes. His expertise will undoubtedly benefit our district team and school leaders as we strive to enhance core instruction and student learning.
In addition to his role as a Principal, Mr. Serin has served the city as an Assistant Principal and a member of the NYCPS Quality Review team. At the Office of School Quality, he conducted Quality Reviews, identifying strengths in school practices and providing valuable feedback and next steps for school-wide improvement. His extensive experience in this area will be especially advantageous in supporting schools throughout our district community.
I am confident that Mr. Serin’s expertise and dedication will greatly contribute to the continued success and improvement of our district. I look forward to working collaboratively as we strengthen our districts roots, building strong academic and social emotional foundations for our learners. Please join me in welcoming Mr. Serin to his new role as Deputy Superintendent for District 25.

Dear Parents,
As we approach the summer break, we want to take a moment to discuss an important topic: summer reading loss. Research shows that many students experience a decline in reading skills over the summer months when they are not actively engaged in reading and literacy activities. This phenomenon, often referred to as "summer slide," can impact academic progress and achievement when students return to school in the fall.
Summer reading loss occurs when children do not continue to read regularly during the break. Without consistent practice, their reading fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary development can stagnate or decline. As educators, we are committed to supporting your child's academic growth throughout the year, and we believe that maintaining a reading routine over the summer is crucial for their continued success. Below is a link to our District 25 folder with amazing resources and lists of reading books on each grade to best support our District 25 families in summer reading:
Here are some key reasons why summer reading is important:
Skill Retention: Reading regularly helps children retain the reading skills they have developed during the school year. It reinforces their ability to decode words, comprehend texts, and build vocabulary.
Academic Performance: Students who read during the summer typically perform better academically when they return to school. They are better prepared to tackle new material and are more likely to succeed in their studies.
Love for Learning: Summer reading can foster a lifelong love for learning and exploration. It introduces children to new ideas, cultures, and experiences through books, sparking their curiosity and imagination.
Parental Involvement: Reading together as a family can strengthen bonds and create positive associations with reading. Your encouragement and support play a critical role in motivating your child to read over the summer.
To support your child's reading journey this summer, we encourage you to:
Set Aside Time: Designate a consistent time each day for reading. Whether it's in the morning, afternoon, or evening, establishing a routine helps reinforce the habit of reading.
Visit the Library: Take advantage of your local library's summer reading programs and resources. Librarians can recommend books that match your child's interests and reading level.
Create a Reading List: Involve your child in selecting books that they are excited to read. Consider a mix of fiction, non-fiction, and genres they enjoy to keep them engaged.
Lead by Example: Let your child see you reading for pleasure. Show them that reading is a valuable and enjoyable activity for people of all ages.
Together, we can prevent summer reading loss and ensure that your child continues to grow as a confident and capable reader. We are here to support you every step of the way and look forward to seeing your child's reading progress when they return to school in the fall.
Warm regards,
Dr. Michael Dantona

Dear District 25 Community,
I am honored to announce my appointment as your new Superintendent, a role I humbly and eagerly embrace after serving as your Interim Superintendent this school year. My journey within District 25 has been deeply rewarding, and I am grateful for the support and collaboration I have experienced from students, parents, teachers, leaders and all school staff.
During my 26 years in the NYC Public School system, I have served as a teacher, an assistant principal, principal, network leader, deputy superintendent and the interim acting superintendent for this amazing district. As we transition into this new chapter, I want to reaffirm my commitment to fostering an inclusive, innovative, and nurturing educational environment. My priorities will continue to center on the academic excellence, emotional well-being, and holistic development of each student.
It is so important to me that our students in District 25 experience learning that enables them to think critically and creatively to solve problems, preparing them for high school, college and beyond. We will continue to align our district work to Chancellor’s Expectations and develop goals and action plans designed to promote the following:
All Students Learn to Read Well
All Students Are Physically and Emotionally Safe
All Students Have a High-Quality Academic Experience
All Students Graduate College and Career Ready
Be More Inclusive and Responsive for Parents and Families
I believe in transparent and open communication. I am committed to listening to your concerns, valuing your input, and working together to address the challenges we face. Your feedback is invaluable, and I encourage you to reach out with your ideas, questions, and suggestions.
I acknowledge the dedication and hard work of our teachers, staff, and administrators who strive every day to make our schools exemplary. Together, we will build on our past achievements and face new challenges with optimism and determination. I am confident that, with your continued support, we will create a bright and promising future for our students.
Thank you for entrusting me with this significant responsibility. I look forward to our continued journey together, making District 25 a place where every student can thrive and succeed.
Sincerely,
Dr. Michael Dantona
District 25
Community Superintendent
Dear Families,
I hope this letter finds you well. As we strive to continually enhance our educational programs and services to meet the diverse needs of our students, your input is invaluable. Therefore, I am writing to remind you about the importance of completing the 2023-2024 NYC School Survey.
As stakeholders in our educational community, your perspectives provide us with critical insights into the effectiveness of our current initiatives and areas where improvements can be made. By participating in this survey, you have the opportunity to shape the direction of our district and city, and ensure that we are aligning our efforts with the needs of our students and families.
Your responses will help us identify strengths to celebrate and areas for growth. Whether it's feedback on curriculum, school climate, or other aspects of our educational environment, every voice matters in our commitment to continuous improvement.
If you have already completed the survey, I extend my sincere gratitude for your participation. Your contributions are immensely valuable. If you have not yet had the chance to do so, I urge you to take a few moments to share your thoughts and experiences with us.
The survey can be accessed following the directions below. Please note that the deadline for completing the survey has been extended to April 19.
Instructions for Families:
If your child is in grades K–12, you will need your child’s nine-digit student identification number, or OSIS, to begin filling out your survey online.
You can find the OSIS on your student’s report card, school ID card, or on their NYC Schools Account.
Once on the survey page, you must enter “f” and then your child's OSIS to access the survey. The “f” must be lowercase.
Note: Families can also access the survey by logging into their NYC Schools Account.
Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership in our mission to provide the highest quality education for all students in District. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of our children as we continue to build strong roots and even stronger schools.
If you have any questions or need assistance with accessing the survey, please do not hesitate to contact your schools Parent Coordinator, Principal or the District 25 office at 347-850-3048 or by email to contact@d25.nyc.
Warm regards,
Dr Michael Dantona
IA Superintendent

Dear Families,
Our top priority is the safety and well-being of every student and staff member in our school community. As the conflict in the Middle East continues to escalate and we are seeing increased news coverage of social media posts promoting violence, I am writing to provide you with information on how we are monitoring the events and to share some resources that may be helpful for you in discussion with your children.
First, please be reassured that the New York City Police Department (NYPD) actively monitors social media sites and threats of violence. We remain in constant communication with NYPD, and at this time, there are no specific threats against our schools.
In times of great upheaval and uncertainty, it is easy for fear and rumors to flourish. It is important that students are equipped with the tools they need to discern fact from fiction. We encourage you to visit schools.nyc.gov/digitalcitizenship for more information on how to support your child in building their skills in media literacy and safe online behaviors.
We are committed to providing a safe and inclusive learning environment for our students at all times. Additional resources supporting thoughtful instruction and students’ mental health in the face of disturbing current events can be found at schools.nyc.gov/currentevents.
I urge all members of our school community to explore these resources, lean on one another, and continue to engage in open dialogue. Together, we can navigate these challenging times.
Sincerely,
Dr. Michael Dantona, Interim Acting Superintendent
Community School District 25

Dear District 25 Community,
It is with a great deal of excitement and enthusiasm that I introduce myself as the interim acting superintendent for District 25. I am truly honored to have the opportunity to support a district community that is focused on the academic and social emotional needs of its learners. During my 25 years in the NYC Public School system, I have served as a teacher, an assistant principal, principal, network leader and for the past 9 years the deputy superintendent for this amazing district.
I have been so fortunate to learn from such amazing leaders but none better than Danielle DiMango. Ms. DiMango has played such an important role in making District 25 what it is and creating for me the opportunity to become the leader that I am today. I look forward to building upon our shared practices to ensure that current and future students have opportunities to explore their interests and find out who they are and what they want to be.
I am a proud husband and a parent to two amazing children. My daughter Emily is moving into her freshman year of high school and my son Matthew is a middle schooler moving into the seventh grade. I will work to ensure that my family and the students in District 25 experience learning that enables them to think, collaborate and solve problems so that they are equipped to reach their goals and be prepared for high school, college and beyond.
District 25 has earned a reputation for excellence that has been cultivated through a strong presence of community and shared commitment to collaboration. I will begin by implementing a 90-day plan that will include time and space to connect with students, staff, administrators, local elected officials, and community members, allowing me to learn from you about what makes our district roots strong and what we can do to make them even stronger.
During my Listening and Learning Tour, I will share our district goals and priorities, which have been aligned to our Chancellor’s Expectations. Our goals and action plans are designed to promote our shared values:
All Students Learn To Read Well
All Students Are Physically and Emotionally Safe
All Students Have A High Quality Academic Experience
All Students Graduate College and Career Ready
Be More Inclusive and Responsive For Parents and Families
I am excited to share the details of this plan with you to gather community feedback across the district. There will be many chances for us to connect and I look forward to hearing the voices of our community, especially the voices of our talented scholars.
Sincerely,
Dr. Michael Dantona
District 25
Community Superintendent, I.A.
To the District 25 Community,
It has been one of the greatest honors of my life to have had the opportunity to serve as superintendent of our District 25 schools for the past 13 years. I am so very proud of the work we have done together in service of our students. As many of you know, starting September 5, 2023, I will transition to my new role as Chief of School Support, Elementary and Middle Schools, within the Office of the Deputy Chancellor of School Leadership for the New York City Public Schools.
Although I am excited about this new opportunity, I am saddened that I will be leaving District 25, where I have spent 23 years of my career. I cannot tell you how much joy I have felt being part of the District 25 family. It is because of the leaders, teachers, support staff, families and, of course, the students, that I have become the educator I am today. I leave with a sense of pride in the many accomplishments the students and staff have achieved. We have planted and nurtured the “Strong Roots and Strong Schools” that makes District 25 such an outstanding district. I know the work will continue. Our roots really are strong. Together we have much to be proud of.
I am also thrilled that our district is firm and secure in its leadership transition. I am so proud that Dr. Michael Dantona has accepted the role of acting Interim Acting Superintendent. I have had the great fortune to work with Dr. Dantona over the past nine years. He is a talented and passionate educator and has been my partner through the development and implementation of our instructional initiatives, and a driving force in our District 25 mission and vision. I know Dr. Dantona will continue to move our schools to new heights.
I would like to thank every school leader, teacher, staff member, and student and family for letting me serve as your district superintendent. I leave District 25 a better educator, professional, parent and person because of the opportunity I have had to work alongside you. Winnie the Pooh says it best: “How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” I will not be far and will always have District 25 in my heart.
Regards,
Danielle DiMango
Superintendent District 25
Dear District 25 parents and guardians,
Greetings from Superintendent DiMango and District Team. We hope this message finds you well!
In January, we spent time collaborating with President’s Council to develop a parent survey so that we could gather feedback, with a specific focus on parent involvement. As a result, we have asked our schools to revisit their parent engagement plans to ensure we are providing opportunities for families to participate in ways that they feel are connected to their needs around home school connections.
Our survey indicated that only 54% of respondents agreed that they have attended general school meetings. We want to increase this percentage rate as we use the many creative tools now available to our school communities. We encourage each of you to look out for these opportunities as the year progresses. In addition, we also learned that our district community would like for us to develop parent learning experiences within social emotional learning. Please look out for future district messages as we will be offering opportunities to engage our parents in SEL learning events in the near future.
If you have any questions or comments please reach out to your school Parent Coordinator or the District office by phone at 347-850-3048 or email to contact@d25.nyc.

致第 25 學區家長和監護人:
學監 DiMango 和學區小組向您問候。我們希望大家一切都好!
一月份，我們與主席理事會合作制定了一份家長調查表，目的是讓我們收集反饋意見，特 別是重點收集家長參與方面的意見。所以在這之後，我們請各學校重新審視他們的家長參 與計劃，以便確保我們為家長提供的參與機會是與他們的需求(即家庭與學校建立聯繫) 相關的。
我們的調查顯示，在回覆的人當中只有 54%參加了一般性學校會議。我們希望通過使用我 們學校社區現在所擁有的各種創意工具來提升這個百分比。隨著學年的展開，我們鼓勵各 位注意這樣的機會。此外，我們還瞭解到我們的學區希望我們能夠在社交和情緒學習方面 向家長提供學習體驗。請注意學區今後發給您的信息，因爲我們將在不久的將來提供各種 機會，讓家長參與社交和情緒學習活動。
如果您有任何問題或意見，請聯絡您的學校的家長專員或學區辦公室，後者的電話號碼是 347-850-3048，也可發電郵至 contact@d25.nyc.

Estimados padres y tutores del Distrito 25:
Reciban todos un saludo cordial de parte de la superintendente DiMango y el equipo del Distrito. Esperamos que se encuentren muy bien.
En enero, colaboramos con el Consejo de Presidentes en el desarrollo de una entrevista para padres a fin de obtener información, específicamente en lo referente a la participación de los padres. Consecuentemente, hemos pedido a las escuelas que revisen sus planes sobre la participación de los padres para asegurar que brindemos oportunidades destinadas a fomentar la participación de las familias y responder a sus necesidades en torno a la conexión entre el hogar y la escuela.
Nuestra encuesta indica que solamente un 54% de los entrevistados ha asistido a reuniones escolares generales. Queremos aumentar este porcentaje en la medida en que utilizamos las nuevas y diversas herramientas creativas ahora disponibles en nuestras comunidades educativas. Invitamos a cada uno de ustedes a que busquen estas oportunidades durante el transcurso del año. Además, hemos descubierto que la comunidad en nuestro distrito desea que desarrollemos experiencias de aprendizaje para los padres dentro del contexto socioemocional. Estén a la espera de mensajes del distrito, ya que estaremos brindando oportunidades para que los padres participen en actividades de aprendizaje socioemocional (Social-Emotional Learning, SEL) en el futuro cercano.
Si tienen preguntas o comentarios, comuníquense con el coordinador de padres de su escuela o con la oficina del distrito, llamando al 347-850-3048 o enviando un mensaje de correo electrónico a contact@d25.nyc.

25 학군 학부모 및 보호자 여러분께,
수퍼인텐던트 DiMango와 학군 팀에서 인사드립니다. 이 메시지가 여러분께 잘 전달되길 바랍니다!
지난 1월 회장 위원회와 협력하여 학부모 참여에 중점을 둔 피드백을 모으기 위해 학부모 설문을 작성하였습니다. 그 결과 저희는 학교들에게 가정이 가정과 학교 연계와 관련하여 필요하다고 느끼는 방식으로 참여할 수 있는 기회를 제공할 수 있도록 학부모 참여 계획을 다시 검토해줄 것을 요청했습니다.
설문 결과 답변 가정의 54%만이 일반 학교 회의에 참여했다고 답했습니다. 이제 학교 커뮤니티에서 이용할 수 있는 다양한 새로운 방법들을 활용하여 이 비율을 높이고자 합니다. 학년도를 지내며 모든분들께서 이러한 기회를 살펴보시기 바랍니다. 또한 저희 학군 커뮤니티는 저희가 사회 정서적 학습 안에서 학부모 학습 경험을 개발하기를 바란다는 것을 알게되었습니다. 가까운 미래에 학부모님들께서 SEL 학습 행사에 참여하실 수 있는 기회를 제공할 예정이오니 지속적으로 학군 메시지를 찾아봐 주십시오.
질문이나 의견은 학교의 학부모 코디네이터에게 문의하시거나 학군 사무실에 전화 347-850- 3048 또는 이메일 contact@d25.nyc로 연락하십시오.
