We are so pleased your family is part of the Spruce community! If you want to participate more in school life and better understand how the PTA functions and how it funds so many different aspects of the school life, you should join us in our monthly meetings.
This year, as last year, the General PTA meetings will be on Zoom, at 11am, usually on the 4th Tuesday of each month.
This is our schedule for the 2021-2022 school year - we will e-mail links & reminders before each meeting.

Our Executive Board meets on the first Tuesday of each month. Board elections are held in May, with a nominating committee working in April to put together a balanced team. If you are interested, reach out at any point during the year. Also, in some cases positions may be available before the yearly election, through Special Expedited Elections - if your family is new to the school, for instance, you can join the EB as a Member-at-Large. The PTA is governed by the Spruce PTA bylaws, written and regularly updated by the Executive Board, according to the Department of Education of the City of New York. EB members are volunteer parents elected to perform the roles needed to run the PTA, a Delaware 501(c)3 Nonprofit, for one fiscal year (July 1st - June 30th).
Volunteers are the life and blood of the PTA. Organized around a Committee Chair that sits on the Executive Board, volunteers set up events, decorate, sell tickets, find sponsors, deliver friendly messages, design merchandise, maintain website & social networks, chaperone parties, hold yoga sculpt sessions (true story), walk around art galleries (also true), print flyers, drink coffee, take pictures, invent spooky stories, and most of all have fun and meet other families from our community. Sounds fun? It is. Reach out, there's always room for more. Here's a form to get started.
Class Parents are special volunteers, selected by the school Parent Coordinator, that ensure consistent and useful communication between teachers, staff, families, and the PTA. They are key to the successful communication within our school. Frequency of communications may vary by teacher and time of year.
