Sunset Park High School

Dear Parents/Guardian,

On behalf of the Executive Board of the SPHS PTA, welcome to the 2017-2018 school year! We look forward to seeing you at school, meetings, events, and fundraisers. There are a few things we would like to remind returning families and introduce to new families.

• YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE PTA

Every parent and/or guardian of a SPHS is automatically a member of the SPHS PTA. When you hear of the fantastic things the PTA does, it is you who is responsible. When the PTA needs to raise funds and recruit volunteers to make this all possible...we look to you to help.

• PTA OVERVIEW

Executive Board: The PTA is overseen by the Executive Board. Feel free to say “hello” if you see us around the school. We would love to hear from you, but often time is limited or our kids want our attention too. If you have a suggestion or comment, we prefer that you email us. That way, we can respond more thoughtfully.

• PTA GENERAL MEETINGS:

We strongly urge you to attend our monthly regularly meeting. The meetings always provide the latest information, updates from the Principal and the Executive Board. Your input is important at these meetings – you will be voting on PTA key issues. Attending these meetings will help keep you involved and informed on issues related to your child’s education.

• PARENT INVOLVEMENT:

The most important thing you can do for your child is to be involved: Volunteer your time. Come out to the PTA meetings. Read the minutes. Give us your thoughts. Jump in and help. Ask questions. Donate what you can. Everyone is busy, but please find a little time to help contribute to your child’s educational experience. It’s a wonderful investment that will produce lasting benefits.

We wish you and your children a successful and a happy school year. We hope to see you at PTA Meetings which are held in the School Cafeteria every month.
