Meetings

Meetings are an excellent way to keep up with what is happening at the school, and often we feature engaging talks by guest speakers. Meeting minutes are published online and are available in the school’s main office.

Except for the first meeting, meetings are held over Zoom (check your email for the link). The Executive Board meets from 6-6:30PM (all welcome), and the General PTA meeting is 6:30-7:30 PM.

Fundraising and Upcoming Events

The PTA hosts several fundraising events over the school year:

  • The Saturday Symposium held on Saturday, April 5th was an inspiring success. We loved welcoming existing and incoming families to learn from our amazing faculty and student scholars. If you didn't have a chance to attend, we hope to see you next year!

  • The Spring Fling is the most exciting night of the year! Join us Wednesday, May 21st, 6 - 9:30pm at the incredible Bogart House in Brooklyn. Our annual fundraiser event plus faculty/staff appreciation party is not to be missed! Come eat, drink, dance, bid on cool auction stuff, take in the view from the open-air rooftop lounge, and chat with other parents and our kids' amazing teachers.
