  • Information for Incoming 6th Grade Students 2022-2023

    Dear Incoming 6th Grade Family,

     

    My name is Dr. Paul DeSimone, and it is with great honor and endless enthusiasm that I send this welcome message to you today. I come to you as your principal starting my twelfth year in the New York City Department of Education.

    Every child deserves the best and right opportunities to become their best self. Children deserve schools that embrace their worlds and leverage their beauty as a channel to their potential. It is my belief that Middle School 172 has all the pieces to make this happen for our students. Please review the following information and documents as you prepare for your new journey into middle school. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to our Parent Coordinator, Ms. Debbie Hochrad, at DHochrad@schools.nyc.gov. In addition, please look out for information over the summer regarding Informational Town Halls to launch the new school year.

    Together, we will make the best decisions for our school community so that we may continue to strive for greatness.

    Sincerely,

    Dr. Paul DeSimone

  • ****IMPORTANT***** If you have a DOE Chromebook - Auto-upgrade for Zscaler on Chromebooks 6/27

    Auto-upgrade for Zscaler on Chromebooks is Scheduled for June 27,2022

    At 5PM on Monday June 27, 2022 DIIT will push out an upgrade of Zscaler to DOE-issued Chromebooks currently issued at all NYC DOE schools. This is being done to ensure that the Chromebooks are compliance with CIPA regulations. 

     

    In order for the update to go through, all Chromebooks will have to be fully shut down and restarted (not just in sleep mode) TWICE:

    1.  Once before 5PM on June 27
    2. And again sometime after June 28

    If Chromebooks are NOT restarted before 5PM on June 27, Zscaler will be pushed out the SECOND time the Chromebook is rebooted. Students, families and staff should expect that this update will take 30 minutes to complete—depending on the bandwidth at the location where the devices are located (school, home, library, etc.).
