On behalf of the PTA Executive Board (eBoard), we’d like to welcome all new and returning families to the 22-23 school year. Our mission is to work hard in service of the entire school population and surrounding neighborhood as community builders and stewards of our resources with joy, purpose and collaboration. We look forward to your partnership in this work!
PTA General Meetings are held one evening every month and are open to all A&L 305 United parents and guardians. Our meetings are a way to connect with other families and learn about news, PTA events, DOE developments, and school business. Each general meeting has a Principal’s report, PTA Eboard report, Treasurer’s report, and opportunities for members of the community to engage. This is the perfect forum to ask questions, volunteer to help, and offer your own opinions and ideas. The PTA shares the minutes of each meeting and updated PTA budget information via Jupiter Ed after each monthly meeting.
Explore ways to get involved below. Have questions or want to learn more? Reach out to the PTA Eboard at eboard@unitedbk-pta.org.
Volunteering
When possible, parents make themselves available to facilitate special activities and support critical school routines. Whether it’s attending roundtables, organizing dances, chaperoning trips, baking cupcakes for a bake sale, or helping with lunch, all of these efforts keep our community strong, safe, and vibrant.
Class Parents
For individual classrooms, volunteer Class Parents serve as the liaison(s) with teachers to disseminate important information to the entire class. Class Parents are the coordinators of support for your child's class. They help organize support for teachers and classroom activities as needed and facilitate a sense of community among the families. They strengthen communication between the school and the families. Class Parents can also provide a unified voice for the class to the teachers, so that parents collectively can have a say, without the teacher feeling overwhelmed by 25+ sets of parents asking the same question. If an individual parent has a specific concern about their child, they can and should speak directly with the teacher.
Being a Class Parent can feel like a lot of responsibility, so it is encouraged to have multiple class parents for each classroom. Most classes have 2 to 3 Class Parents, but please check with your child’s teacher(s) to see if they have a preference.
