PS 102 The Jacques Cartier School

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 and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, concerns, or ideas you would like to share. I will have Office Hours every Wednesday morning from 7:30 am – 8:00 am and every Thursday from 2:30 pm – 3:00 pm.  

In Collaboration,

Erica O'Connor,

Principal P.S. 102 Jacques Cartier
