Parent/Teacher Association (PTA)

 

Parent/Teacher Association (PTA)

 

Our Parent Teacher Association (“PTA”) is one way parents and teachers participate in the life of the school. Every parent is a member of the school’s PTA. Parent volunteers can participate in coordinating fundraising efforts like the annual catalog sales, bake sales, raffles, etc.

There are many ways to get involved. You can chaperon field trips, support school clubs, and help with school events.

As a parent, the best way to support your scholar is to ensure the reading gets done every day and that all homework is completed. The PTA holds monthly meetings, usually in the early evening, and invites all to participate and share ideas. Please attend monthly PTA meetings.

(To learn more about PTAs, please read Chancellor’s Regulation A-660 on the DOE website, www.nyc.gov/schools.) Examples of issues voted upon at PTA meetings include: school half-days, expenditures, school uniform policy, administration staffing, etc.
