Meet Our New Assistant Principal Ms. Chu

I am so excited to join the P.S.159 community! My initial weeks have been a whirlwind of warm greetings and uplifting messages! You have my heartfelt gratitude. I have been an educator for the past 15 years, with the last 10 years spent at BELL Academy in Bayside, Queens as the Special Education Coordinator. I am a Bi-lingual Chinese American and a mother of elementary school aged children. Having grown up in Queens myself, I deeply appreciate the significance of the values cherished by this community, and I am committed to upholding these principles. Bayside truly holds a special place in my heart.

As I become part of the P.S. 159 family, a school with an impeccable reputation and outstanding leadership by exceptional school leaders, along with the most amazing teachers, staff and parents, I am overwhelmed with honor as I join this esteemed team. My utmost priority is to contribute in ways that will add more value to this already amazing school. I am excited to work alongside Principal DiDio who possesses unwavering dedication to education and a genuine passion for success of both students and staff.

Christine Chu
