Parents and guardians in The Neighborhood School community:

If you are interested in volunteering as a Class Parent for your child’s class this year, please sign up on the bulletin board in the school lobby. There is a sign-up sheet for each class, and we need at least two parents per class. Even if you’ve already spoken with your teacher about being a Class Parent, please make sure to sign up anyway so that we (the Class Parent Coordinators) have your name and email address. 

What is a “Class Parent”? Class parents assist the teacher in many ways and keep other parents in the class informed. They help plan classroom functions, email or call other parents about school or classroom business, assist in arranging school trips and help the teacher in various other ways. Class parents also serve as liaisons to the PTA and assist in organizing fund-raising and other events for the school. Class parents are a critical link in communicating to the parent body about school issues, meetings and special events. The Class Parent Coordinators provide information, guidance and assistance to the class parent group. We will meet as needed to plan activities, compare notes and help each other.

Hello to new and returning parents,

Please make sure to sign up for both of our email lists - the TNS Announcement List and the TNS PTA Discussion List.

The TNS Announcement List is used for official communication from the school staff and the PTA officers. All parents should subscribe to this list here: http://lists.theneighborhoodschool.org/listinfo.cgi/tns-list-theneighborhoodschool.org . 

Anyone subscribed to this list may also submit an announcement, but it will only be approved for distribution if it meets the guidelines of our list serve policy. Emails to this list must pertain directly to information and events about The Neighborhood School and the PTA. This policy was created at the request of parents to minimize the number of emails that are sent out to all. Please read the full policy here: http://tnsny.org/docs/listserv

The other email list, the TNS PTA Discussion List, was created to allow members of our community to freely share updates about relevant educational and political issues, neighborhood events, enrichment programs outside the school, etc. that fall outside the specific topics of the official announcement email list. We encourage everyone to sign up for this email list as well, so it can reach everyone and become a useful alternative to our main list. Give it a try - of course you can unsubscribe at any time.

I hope the summer’s awesome meteorological and seismological occurrences have not caused any of our TNS family any great harm or misfortune.  Please share your story about how you prepared, coped or survived through these extraordinary happenings.  And how did our school building hold up during the past week’s tribulations?  Any flooding?

Out in Queens, we experienced a little basement flooding which pales in comparison to others and was quite manageable, though exhausting.  Egypt spent her summer in DC and experienced her 1st earthquake.  Not much damage there either-so far, so good.

Well, one more week and we reconvene on Third St!  Until then, enjoy your last slice of summer vacation!

Peace,
Brett
