Meet our Admin
Ms. Figueroa, Principal
Welcome, I am the proud principal of PS 676 a small school in Red Hook, with so much to offer. Our students begin their journey in PreK and continue into the fifth grade. As a newly designed Harbor school our students study Maritime themed additions to the curricula, and experiment in their very own community. Throughout their elementary school journey students learn about its rich aquatic resources and build on their knowledge and experiences as they relate to maritime. This model prepares our students for college and careers in the maritime field as they transition from middle school, high school and on to college.

Greetings! My name is Glenn Collins. I am a 4th & 5th grade math instructor at P.S. 676.
I currently teach mathematics, the way I wanted the subject taught to me decades ago. As an elementary school student I was bullied by the mathematical beast of long division. In my head so many steps. I thought that I was battling an octopus. I was requested to memorize, memorize, & memorize some more! The myriad of equations glared at me, almost whispering “little failure”. I pretended to have a series of stomachaches to avoid the Numbers Bully waiting for me at school. My dad thought I was being harassed by an aggressive rider on the cheese bus. My dad was mistaken, this Bully was around every time math was mentioned.
I didn’t conquer the Numbers Bully until I became a teacher over 20 years ago.
I model for my young mathematicians how to defend themselves against any Numbers Bully. I offer methods to think strategically. My students have the option of using manipulatives & multiple types of representations to solve mathematical tasks & equations.
The strongest defense against any bullying is communication. I guide my mathematicians to verbally share their ideas. But question everything & everyone. Especially in moments of uncertainty & error.
