Parent Teacher Association

The PS 261 Parent Teacher Association (PTA) aims to support children's education and development by raising funds for school materials and activities, and creating opportunities for families to participate actively in the school community. All PTA events and projects strive to enrich our children's education. Every parent automatically becomes a member of the PTA by being a part of the school community.
