​As parents and guardians of students enrolled at PS/IS 187, you are automatically a member of the Parent Teacher Organization,  ​a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization

OUR MISSION

We strive to promote an effective learning environment for students and to provide an opportunity for parents to participate in school and educational decision-making. Our goal is to support an interactive relationship between parents, school administration, and teachers. 

OUR MEETINGS


PTO General Meetings are held on the 3rd or 4th Thursday of every month. They are preceded by a meeting with the school's administration, and an Executive Board (EB) meeting, which is usually held on the 1st Monday of each month. ALL MEETINGS ARE OPEN TO PARENTS AND GUARDIANS, and everyone is invited and encouraged to attend.  Childcare is provided for the General Meetings.
