PS 204 welcomes Merlin Pichardo
Greetings, my name is Merlyn Pichardo. I am the new Student in Housing (STH) Social worker at P.S 204. I am excited for the rest of the 2021-2022 school year. I graduated from Fordham University last May 2021, and this will be my first year as a school Social worker. However, I have worked for the Department of Education as a paraprofessional with special education students for over five years.
My goal is to help students and caretakers navigate their social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties and more. Overall, I am thrilled to work with the PS 204 community! I hope the space I am creating makes everyone feel safe and welcomed.

Household can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 on a laptop tablet or desktop computer.
The Emergency Broadband Benefit Program began in May as part of the temporary federal COVID-19 relief response and will last until “the funds run out of money” or six months after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declares an end to the pandemic, whichever comes first, according to the program’s website.
