PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION (PTA)
Parent Involvement Equals Student Acheivement
Welcome to Our PTA!
​
The heart of our PTA is building strong connections between parents, teachers, and our school—all in support of our students’ success. By joining and participating, you not only support our classrooms and teachers, but also enrich the experience of every child, including your own.
​
We’re always excited to welcome new volunteers! Fresh ideas and extra helping hands keep our programs strong and engaging year after year. This school year, we’re planning a variety of family engagement events—both in-person and virtual—to bring our community together.
​
PTA meetings are a wonderful opportunity to stay informed, ask questions, and collaborate on ways to make our school the best it can be. Together, we can continue to nurture a vibrant, supportive, and inspiring learning environment for all.

SCHOOL LEADERSHIP TEAM (SLT)
Assuring the highest-quality program for all students
Our School Leadership Teams (SLT) is a school-based organization with an equal number of parents and staff. SLT meetings are held at school at least once per month. Mandatory members of the SLT include: the school principal, the PTA president (or designated co-president), and the UFT chapter leader. Parent members of our SLT are nominated by the school’s PTA. Staff members are nominated by their constituents.
The main responsibility of the SLT is to develop the school’s Comprehensive Educational Plan (CEP), which must align with the school-based budget. Our SLT invites input from various school constituencies to ensure all voices are heard regarding the needs of students. SLT members work together to evaluate how effective the school’s educational programs are, and their impact on student achievement.
​
Meetings are held on the 2nd Monday of each month from 5:00 - 7:00 pm. Meetings will be held virtually until further notice. A meeting link will be shared on the day of the meeting in Class Dojo. All SLT meetings are open to the public. Members of the public who wish to attend should contact Ms. Spellman.
