6th Grade

Welcome to Irwin Altman Middle School 172!

 

I am absolutely thrilled to welcome our incoming 6th-grade class this fall. This vibrant group marks my third cohort as Assistant Principal here at M.S. 172, and I am incredibly proud to continue serving this wonderful community.

 

Middle school is a time of immense growth, discovery, and transformation. Along with our dedicated support staff, I am deeply committed to welcoming your children this September and supporting them every single step of the way on their middle school journey. My goal is to ensure a safe, nurturing, and academically enriching environment where every student can thrive.

 

True success is a team effort, and I look forward to partnering with you, our families, to champion your child’s education.

 

This year holds an extra-special personal meaning for me as well: I will be right there in the trenches with you as a fellow 6th-grade parent! As the youngest of my three children enters the 6th grade this September, I share your exact excitement, anticipation, and pride.

 

We are going to have a fantastic year together. Enjoy the rest of your summer, and I can't wait to see you all in September!

 

Warm regards,

Kristin Devine
