Parents as Cultural Partners

The Diversity Committee is launching a new project called PARENTS AS CULTURAL PARTNERS. Parents and guardians are invited to share their cultural expertise and skills in the classroom. In the PS 199 community, 28 different home languages are spoken, and many cultures and ethnicities are represented. If you are interested in sharing your expertise in a country or region, or your special talent in a cultural art form (i.e. music, storytelling, dance), please fill out “Parents as Cultural Partners.” 

Your PTA Donations at Work!

Each year the PTA provides a check for every teacher to start-up their classroom with needed supplies.   Many of our teachers have sent thank-you notes to the PTA.   You can view them here.

PS 199 Family Giving

Whether your children are just entering PS 199 or are in their final year, there is no question that our principal, Katy Rosen -- and all of the teachers on her team -- have vision for what a gold standard public school education should be. As best said by third grade teacher, Chris Miller, “By supporting our school, parents have helped create an optimal and nurturing learning environment where the children truly flourish.” Please give generously to continue this tradition.
