As we embark on a new school year, it is with great excitement and deep gratitude that I introduce myself as the new principal of P.S. 160. As many of you know, I’ve had the privilege of serving as the assistant principal here for the past 10 years. During that time, I’ve come to know many of your families and have cherished the strong community we’ve built together.  

As I step into this new role, I am committed to continuing the tradition of excellence that makes our school a special place for learning and the growth of our students. Our focus will remain on nurturing a positive school climate where every student feels safe, valued, and inspired to achieve their best. 

I am also dedicated to laying the foundation for their journey to college and successful careers. We will continue to emphasize strong academic foundations, critical thinking, and the social and emotional skills necessary for lifelong success. 

I am truly honored to lead such a wonderful school and look forward to working closely with you to support your children’s educational journey. Please know that my door is always open, and I welcome your input, questions, and ideas as we embark on this exciting new chapter together. 

Our academic priority this year is for students to gain a broad foundation of knowledge across many subjects to increase their reading ability and their knowledge about the world. You can help your child outside of school by reading to them and encouraging them to read at home every night, we have purchased many websites to help you and your child find reading materials. You can also ask them about what they are reading and what they have learned or what the book is about. Our goal, together, is to ensure that every student is successful.  

Please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns or thing you would like to share about your child. Phone: 718-438-0337 Email:  cgullo2@schools.nyc.gov

Thank you for your continued trust and partnership. 

Mr. Christopher Gullo
