Next week's issue
Make it part of your routine to be in the know about Stuyvesant High School.
 
By now we are all well into the swing of the school year.  The Stuyvesant Parent Association Executive Board members hope you are keeping up with the Parent Coordinator's Friday night messages, checking parents tools via the Stuyvesant website as necessary, (and, of course,) reading these end of weekend messages on behalf of the PA. 

Remember PA and SLT nominations are open through October 12. Elections take place at our next meeting, October 19.  Find nomination information further in this e-mail.  It bears repeating that 'there is plenty to do and a place where you can help'.

Please let me know if you have any concerns or comments.  I look forward to fielding your questions and suggestions.

 
Barbara Reiser
Corresponding Secretary
