PTA Meeting sign

Our first general PTA meeting was Sept. 13 at 6:45 pm. Everyone with a child at either site of PS 372 is automatically a member of the PTA.

The recording is now available for viewing on Konstella. Minutes will be posted to inclusions, but in the meantime some highlights:

Important links, dates and information that were discussed (not exhaustive!):

  • New Family Picnic, for families from both sites, held in the ICT Big Yard on Sept. 30 from 12-3 pm.  More details coming soon.
  • Call for ICT Class Parents. Interested?  Email classparentcoordicator@ps372pta.org or look for the ICT Class Parent Liaisons Committee in Konstella
  • Yankees Game, Sept. 23, 1:05 pm.   We have almost sold out our guaranteed seat block, but are hopeful we can get more.  Here is the form to fill out for the waitlist.
  • The first Bike to School Day is Sept. 20.  This committee is looking for volunteers.
  • A school safety townhall will be coming soon from administration.  Policies are governed by the DOE. (Links of interest: DOE’s Parent Guide to School Safety and Emergency Preparedness and some movement to update legislation. )
  • Curriculum conferences will start the week of Sept. 25. Timing is dependent on classroom and grade, and specialists and therapists will have a separate schedule. Sign-ups will come from your teachers and Yvette.
  • There is an early breakfast program. Students can enter the gates on Whitwell between 7:55 am and 8:05 am and go to the cafeteria for breakfast.  The gates will close between 8:05 and 8:10 before opening for the school day.  Students who arrive at 8:10 can still have a grab-and-go breakfast.
  • Please avoid sending nuts, peanuts or peanut butter to school for lunch or snack.  Because of food allergies, classroom celebrations will not feature food treats.

Sneak peek at October:

  • The first Parents as Partners (parents visit morning meeting/participate in an activity after drop off)  is Oct. 6, and will feature Reading.  These happen monthly on the first Friday, with a different subject focus each time.
  • Our first Movie Night is scheduled for Oct. 28.  This committee is ALSO looking for new volunteers to help keep this great night going.  Reach out to movienight@ps372pta.org if you can help.
