Welcome back students and families! We hope you all had a restful and wonderful summer. We are excited to begin this school year with our returning families and those new to our school community.
Our goal for the school’s Parents Association (PA) is to create and enhance a truly inclusive and thriving environment for our students and parents. We are dedicated to working with the school administration and families to provide a successful experience for everyone.
Wondering how to join the PA? It couldn’t be easier – because if you are a parent or a guardian of a student at our school, then you are already a member the Parents Association! We encourage you to keep an eye out for our monthly PA meetings, and our numerous events and programs that will happen throughout the year. You are welcome to join and participate in anything and everything. We think you’ll find these gatherings an excellent way to meet the school community, share ideas and get involved in our incredible school.
After hearing from parents, we are working on expanding options for after-school, improving our kids’ health and wellness in the school, and kicking-off a series of parent breakfasts to focus on issues that parents care most about like understanding the curriculum, homework and the middle school process. Bring us your thoughts, questions, learn more and lend a helping hand at our first meeting on Friday morning, September 29th at 8:15am at the school.
Here’s to a wonderful year!
Julia Davis & Nowshin Ali, Presidents of the PS 217 Parents Association
