Principal's Message

Dear Parents/Guardians:

It is with great pride and excitement that I write this letter to you as the Principal of P.S. 130.

It has been a pleasure to serve this community for the past eleven years.  I have had the wonderful opportunity to observe your children engaged in passionate learning with the dedicated staff of P.S. 130.  I feel very fortunate to be a part of such a supportive and engaging school community.

This school year will mark my 24th year in public education, where I have served as a classroom teacher, a literacy coach, assistant principal, and now principal.

During the course of the 2025-2026 school year, it is my hope that we will continue to work together to provide the students of P.S. 130 the best possible opportunities in preparing them to be world-class citizens ready to conquer the challenges of the 21st Century.  My door will always be open and I welcome your involvement.  It is my desire to work with you as a partner to ensure your child’s success in education.

Along with the P.S. 130 staff, I look forward to working collaboratively with you and your family to help maintain P.S. 130’s high standard of student excellence.

​I anticipate a very successful year as we support the academic, social, and emotional growth of your children.

In Partnership,

Catherine Specchia

Principal
