7th Grade

Ms. Devine, 7th Gr. Assistant Principal

Dear Seventh Grade Families and Students, 

I would like to welcome you back to Irwin Altman Middle School 172 for the 2024-2025 academic year.  We had a great 6th grade school year and I look forward to the year ahead.  Your 6th grade year marked the completion of my 3rd full year at Irwin Altman Middle School.  Before becoming an administrator, I was a teacher leader at I.S. 93 Ridgewood in District 24.  During my time at I.S. 93 I was a sixth grade science and math teacher.  Beyond my work at I.S. 93, I have also been a staff developer on a NYCDOE Title I STEM Grant, and a middle school science specialist at the Genovesi Environmental Study Center.

I am also the mother of three children.  My daughter is starting 10th grade, my son is starting seventh grade, and my youngest son is starting fourth grade.  Having a seventh grader at home means that I will be alongside you not only as an administrator, but as a middle school parent as well.  I, along with the sixth-grade team and support staff,  look forward to supporting all of you in whatever academic or social-emotional needs may arise this year.  Together we will make this an amazing school year! 

Sincerely,

Ms. Devine
