Letter from Principal Della Ragione

February 7, 2025

 

Dear PS 230 Community,

It is with great pride and excitement that we officially introduce Jennifer Caputo as our new, appointed Assistant Principal! After a thorough and thoughtful C-30 interview process, we are confident that Jennifer’s dedication, experience, and deep-rooted connection to our school community make her the perfect fit for this role.

Ms. Caputo has been an invaluable member of our school for 23 years, and throughout that time, she has demonstrated unwavering commitment to our students, families, and staff. Her journey within our school has been one of continuous growth and dedication—starting as a teacher, expanding her experiences as a Social Studies cluster specialist and then MTSS Coach , she is constantly a trusted mentor and advocate for student success.

Ms. Caputo’s trajectory has given her a broad and insightful perspective on our school’s needs and strengths. She understands the challenges and opportunities at every level and brings a collaborative, student-centered approach to leadership. Her experience allows her to connect with teachers, students, and families in meaningful ways, fostering a school culture that prioritizes excellence, inclusion, and support for all.

We are truly honored to have Jennifer step into this leadership role, where she will continue to inspire and guide the PS 230 Community. Please join us in congratulating Assistant Principal Jennifer Caputo on this well-earned achievement!

Thank you,

Maria Della Ragione, Principal
