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 here 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.

  • Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2024 - First PTA meeting of the year! Held in person. We had great attendance, lots of Bardware purchases, and delicious food including some homemade baked treats (thank you to those who baked!). We heard from Principal Laura Hymson and Assistant Principals Kathy Pham and Redell Armstrong, as they addressed our questions about the upcoming year. Read the meeting minutes.

Fundraising and Upcoming Events

The PTA hosts several fundraising events over the school year:

  • Parent and Alumni Career Fair: We are launching a new Bard Queens tradition with our first annual Career Fair, in-person at school on Monday, March 3rd, from 2:30 - 4:30. The fair will be a chance for our students to talk one-on-one with us about the often winding paths that led us to the work we are doing now. If you’d like to share your story, please fill out this form by February 4th: https://forms.gle/zqaEfxhDQCt2Bxoy9

  • The Saturday Symposium features seminars by faculty and sometimes parents or students. Mark your calendar for the beloved Bard tradition on Saturday, April 5th, which invites you into the building to experience lectures and presentations by the Bard Queens faculty and students, too. More details and registration will be coming to your inbox.

  • The Spring Fling is the most exciting night of the year! Join us Wednesday, May 21st, 6 - 9pm 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. More details to come.
