PTA

All of NYCDOE schools are required to have either a:

• Parent Association (PA)
• Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

These organizations:

• advocate for students and families
• update parents and families about the school
• plan and run activities for parents and families

PA/PTAs can support schools in a number of ways, including:

• hosting parent workshops
• organizing activities for families—both academic and social
• raising funds
• running volunteer events
