PTA Welcome Letter

Welcome to the PS/IS 41 PTA! Here you will learn about all of the exciting things parents and teachers do to enrich the educational experiences of the children at PS/IS 41 School. 

 

What is the PTA?
We are a local Parent Teacher Association that is organized by interested parents and teachers. The number one reason to join the Parent Teacher Association is to benefit your child. In doing so, you also help your school.  The PS/IS 41 PTA has bylaws that govern the operation and elected officers that ensure things run smoothly. 

 

Our PTA Mission 

  • To promote the welfare of our scholars in home, school and community 
  • A powerful voice for all our students 
  • A relevant resource for all families and communities 
  • A strong advocate for the education and well-being of every student 
  • To raise the standards of home life 
  • To bring into closer relation the home and the school, that parents and teachers may cooperate effectively and efficiently in the education of our scholars 

 

Why Be Part of the PTA?
The PS/IS 41 PTA is a GREAT opportunity for parents to become involved in the educational process of their children. By joining PTA, you provide assistance to help with the many fun activities and yearly projects that are performed here at PS/IS 41. By volunteering your time, you help support the important home/school connection that is needed to help PS/IS 41 Falcons soar to new heights every day!
