Dear School Community of Parents, Guardians & Teachers:

Welcome, Gordon Parks Family!  As embark on a new school year under the leadership of our new principal, the PTA welcomes all new parents/guardians and extends our sincere appreciation to our remaining parents/guardians for their continued support in the enrichment of our children’s educational environment. We look forward to working with each and every one to fulfill our children’s hopes of academic achievement.

 Our first Parent Teacher Association General Membership Meeting will be on Thursday, October 4, 2012 at 7pm, SHARP in the Dining Room.  We expect the same level of turnout as for “Know Your School Night”!!!  We can only accomplish what we set out to do if all of us work together and contribute whatever we can and in any capacity!  At this meeting, we will detail further all the goals and objectives we hope to accomplish with your support!

Know Your School Night

P.S./I.S.270Q "Know Your School Night" was a success!
Our Principal Harper was informative and excited for this new school year. The entire teaching staff was present and introduced in segments with the Assistant Principals Ambrosio & Allen following up on the designed plan of action for the year.

Parents, Parents, Parents your turnout tonight was awesome! We pray that this is what the PTA can look forward to at this years meetings. We had a minimum of 300 parents & guardians show up!

Our PTA President Kelli Coke gave a warm welcome & overview. The PTA was excited to introduce ourselves to you and ready to advocate on your behalf and be of service. We also introduced the suggested increase in membership dues and gave the reasons why it is so important for the enrichment of our school. The golden flyer that was given to you details the wonderful activities as well as programs that were accomplished during the 2011-2012 school year. We look forward to your continued support and for our new parents we welcome you and your support.
