Dear Families,
Thank you for joining us for this PS 102 Back to School Jam special event. We were so excited that you were able to celebrate the ribbon cutting to commemorate our new school playground. Parental involvement is one of the key factors in the educational success for our children. Our partnership with children and their families is very important to us. This Back to School Jam Event will be the first of many school events including parent workshops. Our goal is to keep connected with our parents and guardians throughout the year. We need and celebrate your continuous attendance and participation.
Warm Regards,
The PS 102 Team.

Dear P.S. 102 Jacques Cartier Educational Partners,
It is with great pleasure that I write this letter to you as the new Principal of P.S. 102 Jacques Cartier Elementary School. I am excited to join this exemplary school community of dedicated, talented members committed to doing what is in the best interest of our scholars. As a community, we will continue to put scholars first and work diligently to ensure their success. I look forward to meeting with you to learn how we can best support our community together. I come to you with 17 years of hands-on educational experience with the Department of Education. Starting as a Teaching Fellow in Middle School, where I spent 13 years teaching math, Dean of Students, New Teacher Mentor, Mathematics Instructional Coach, and School Administrator. As an administrator and educator, I pride myself on supporting all community members both inside and outside the classroom. I am thrilled to utilize my skills as an educational leader at P.S. 102 Jacques Cartier Elementary School and work with you as a partner in education to ensure your success and our scholar’s success. On a personal note, I am a parent of three amazing children, one graduate from Millennium Brooklyn High School, and two currently attending NYC Public Schools in Brooklyn, where I live with my husband. We are proud to be part of the NYC DOE School District, one that values high standards by providing rich learning experiences for all students, prioritizes community wellness, and engages families to be our true partners. I am excited about what we will accomplish together for our community and look forward to celebrating our collective success this school year. I look forward to meeting all of you.
In Collaboration,
Erica O'Connor,
Principal P.S. 102 Jacques Cartier
Welcome to P.S. 102 Jacques Cartier!
On June 7th, 2023 PS 102 Manhattan celebrated Field Day. We were able to have fun indoors as we followed New York City's Protocol to promote proper air quality.
We played games and competed in competitions. We competed in teams that reflected our school's colors blue and gold. It was so great to see all children engaged and experiencing joy.
On June 2, 2023, PS 102 Manhattan celebrated its 110th Anniversary with a great festival of fun activities. Our major collaborators were Partnerships with Children and the representatives from the New York Public Library. These collaborators offered wonderful services for our children and their families. We are forever grateful for this wonderful event and all of our future adventures together.
