Principal's Message

Message from Principal De Gregorio 

Welcome to Public School 46 (PS 46), the Albert V. Maniscalco Elementary School, “home of the dolphins.” Since its founding in 1926, PS 46 has been dedicated to providing the very best elementary education to our students, 3K through Fifth Grade. Throughout our proud 98-year history, PS 46 has been a place where students are intellectually ambitious, engaged, and curious about the world in which they live. PS 46 is known as the "Jewel of South Beach"! Our students are the jewels of South Beach - shining brightly and making our world more beautiful. 

It is an honor and privilege to serve as principal of PS 46. I have had a life-long passion for working with children and feel very grateful for the opportunity to serve in this role. 

Our mission is to provide each child with the highest quality education possible. As educators, we have the incredible responsibility and opportunity of not just teaching, but of making a positive impact in the life of every student in our care.  

As your principal, I promise to keep students at the forefront of every decision we make as a school. We will strive to teach and provide students with the knowledge, skills, and mindset necessary for a successful future. Every child will be valued and cared for.

I will focus on increasing student achievement and will create a school environment where every student is successful and enjoys coming to school each day. I believe that learning should be fun and that an elementary school should pave the way for a lifetime of learning.

What Can You Do?

I encourage you to explore our website and discover the activities and programs happening in our school. We encourage you to schedule a visit, meet our faculty, and see for yourself our welcoming community. Please don't hesitate to let us know if we can be of any assistance. We are here to help you and, most importantly, help your child succeed!

We also encourage you to get involved by joining our Parent Teacher Association (PTA), School Leadership Team (SLT) and volunteering at school functions. Your time and attention are the best gifts you can give your child. You are your child's most important teacher. The elementary years go quickly, but they are among the most fundamental years of your child’s life. 

Thank you for choosing PS 46 where “we build bright futures, one splash at a time.” Go DOLPHINS! 

Kind regards,

Linda De Gregorio
Proud Principal
