Parent Resources
Dear District 2 Families,
We believe that a strong home/school connection is vital to the success of our students. The power of partnering with parents to promote a child's academic achievement and healthy social-emotional development is crucial to our collective success. We value the strong contributions our parents make in our schools and in our District.
We thank you for your continued support.
Below please find some helpful information. If you need additional information, please reach out to your school's Parent Coordinator.
In partnership,
The District 2 Team
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
All of our schools are required to have either a Parent Association (PA) or a Parent Teacher Association (PTA). These organizations advocate for students and families, update parents and families about the school, and plan and run activities for parents and families
These meetings help you understand what your child is learning at school, their academic and social-emotional progress, and what you can do to support them. If your child is having particular difficulties, parent-teacher conferences also give you and the teacher time to plan how you can both help them best.
Every year, we ask all families, teachers, and staff in grades 3-K through 12, and students in grades 6-12 to take the NYC School Survey. The survey gives school leaders a better understanding of what members of their school community think about their school.
The School Leadership Team (SLT) is a group of people who develop educational policies for their school. They also make sure there are resources to support those policies.
SLTs provide ongoing evaluations of a school’s educational programs and their impact on student achievement, play an important role in school-based decision-making and help to make school cultures more collaborative.
