The Week of April 21, 2025 

Dear Petrides Families,  

 

Spring Recess

April 14 – April 18

 

 

Great News from UAU

Many of our 11^th and 12^th grade students took advantage of the one-month CUNY course in Career and Life Planning, Financial Literacy, or Issues in Personal Health. The Petrides students rocked it!!

This spring, over 60 Petrides students will be interning at various places on Staten Island. A special thank you to the internship sites. Please support those businesses that support Petrides.
