PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION

ENRICHING THE EXPERIENCE OF ALL STUDENTS

The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) cultivates an enriching environment for students

through engagement and fundraising that supports many of PS 11’s signature programs.

To contact the PTA, please email pta@ps11bk.org or leave a note in the PTA mailbox in the PS11 main office.

Membership

The NYC Department of Education mandates that each school have a Parent Teacher Association.  All parents, step-parents, legally appointed guardians, foster parents and persons in parental relation are automatically members of their school’s PTA.

Dues

Suggested PTA dues are $50 per family. Paying dues, while encouraged, is not required for membership. The PS 11 PTA is 501 (c) (3) and membership dues are 100% tax deductible. All dues go into the general PS 11 PTA fund and are used to support PS11.  You can pay dues online here. 

Meetings

PTA General Meetings are a great way to stay abreast of important PS 11 news including PTA events, DOE initiatives and school-wide programs. PS 11 PTA meetings are generally held on the third Wednesday of every month via Zoom. Parents are encouraged to get involved.

Governance

PS 11 PTA bylaws were approved by the membership October 16, 2019, and filed with the principal November 6, 2019.

These bylaws may be amended at any regular meeting of the association by a two-thirds vote of the members present, provided the amendment was presented in writing to the membership at the previous meeting, and appears in the notice of the meeting at which it is to be amended. Amendments are effective immediately unless otherwise specified. A thorough review of these bylaws shall be conducted every 3 years. All provisions of these bylaws are pursuant to CR A-660 and Department of Education guidelines.

Any member may present a motion at a general membership meeting to amend a provision of the bylaws that is not in compliance with CR A-660. Amendments that bring the bylaws into compliance must be voted on immediately after the motion is presented. A two-thirds vote of the membership is required for approval.
