Parent Coordinator

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Please allow me to take this opportunity to welcome you to our P.S. 154 school family and introduce myself.

My name is Christine Pignatello, 

I have had the honor to be part of P.S. 154 community since 2015 as a School Aide and then was given the opportunity to take on this new position as Parent Coordinator in 2023. When I joined this school, I immediately felt like I was part of a family and in turn I am hoping to make you all feel the same. 

A little look into my background. I have two incredible boys; Anthony is 20 and Michael is 16.  I also was born and raised in this community and till this day still live here.  I love what I do, and LOVE seeing these kids every morning and could only hope that I make some kind of impact on these children like the impact that was made on my children during their elementary school's years! 

I know what it feels like to be a big part of your child's education, I was a member of my kids PTA as Vice President, and this is where I learned how great it felt to know and understand all that goes on in our schools. To this day my children talk about their experiences in school and with me always being there! 

The position of Parent Coordinator was established to support and involve you, the parent community, in your child’s/children’s education. My job is to provide information, outreach, and support to you so that you can help your child/children to be as academically successful as possible. As you will hear repeatedly, studies show that the more involved a parent is in the education of his or her child/children, the more success the child/children have in school. Your involvement is truly one of the greatest and lasting gifts you can bestow upon your child/children.

Please feel free to stop by the school with any questions, concerns, ideas, or comments. I am available Monday – Friday and I can be reached by phone at 718-591-1500 ext. 1955 or by e-mail at cpignatello@schools.nyc.gov. Also, please be sure to drop me an email with your email address so that I can add your name to our distribution list. I frequently send emails with upcoming event information and items of interest.

I look forward to working together to help our children and our community thrive!

Ms. Christine
