P.S. 96Q

Our Parent Association is an integral part of our school. Our Parent Meetings are held monthly. The date and time of meetings are sent home in the monthly calendar and through our School Messaging Service.

The P. A. is a vital and active organization. Through the participation and involvement of parents, the P. A. organizes fundraising activities and school activities in which the proceeds directly enhance the quality of education for our children. All parents/guardians are encouraged to attend our P. A. Meetings.

The School Leadership Team (SLT) is a group of people, including the School Principal, PA President, United Federation of Chapter Leader, and an equal number of parents and staff, who develop educational policies for our school. They make sure there are resources to support those policies, provide ongoing evaluations of PS96's impact on student achievement, and help to make the school's culture more collaborative.

The SLT meets once a month for 60-90 minutes on the first Tuesday of the month from 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM. SLT members are elected by the school in general elections. SLT leadership is elected by the SLT at the SLT meeting immediately after the general election. Your time commitment as a member would be approximately 1.5-2.0 hours per month for the meeting.

Parent volunteers play a vital role in P. S. 96Q. If you are interested in serving as a parent volunteer please contact our Parent Coordinator.
