Parent Association

PA Family Nights and Workshops, which are held monthly, look to further engage our school’s families in their child’s education and school community. We recognize the importance of parent involvement in our school and are committed to maintaining and welcoming a nurturing school environment. During the Student Academic Update portion of our Family Nights, parents have the opportunity to individually meet with their child’s teachers and guidance counselors. During these conversations you can discuss your child’s academic performance, student behavior and ensure your child is exceeding school expectations.

During the Parent Association portion, an array of different speakers, workshops and activities are held to strengthen family ties and parent involvement. Parents are informed of school updates, partake in the selection of speakers, and have the opportunity to voice their questions and concerns. Students and families are also recognized for their involvement and efforts and receive certificates.

If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact Ms. Frias at jariasdefrias2@schools.nyc.gov or at (347) 873-4853.
