Parent Teacher Conferences are fast approaching! A parent-teacher conference (PTC) is a short meeting between parents and your teachers to discuss your child’s academic performance and experience at school.

These meetings help parents understand what their child is learning at school, their academic and social-emotional progress, and what they can do to support them.

Session 1: 12:20pm-2:30pm (In Person)
Session 2: 5:00pm-8:00pm (Virtual)

District 13 students, families, and staff are all welcomed. There will be art, games, student performances, lots of activities, community building, snacks, book giveaway and special guests.

It will mark the 48th anniversary, observed around the world, of the 1976 march in Soweto, South Africa, when thousands of black school children took to the street to protest the inferior quality of their education and to demand their right to be taught in their own language. Hundreds of young boys and girls were shot down; and in the two weeks of protest that followed, more than a hundred people were killed and more than a thousand were injured.

To honor the memory of those killed and the courage of all those who marched, the Day of the African Child has been celebrated on June 16th every year since 1991, when it was first initiated by the Organization of African Unity. The day also draws attention to the lives of African children today.

We’re excited to share that both the 3-K and Pre-K applications are open for the 2024-2025 school year! NYC children born in 2020 are eligible for pre-K for Fall 2024, and those born in 2021 are eligible for 3-K.

Children born in 2019 can apply to Kindergarten for the 2024-2025 school year. The deadline to register is Friday, January 19, 2024. We have our upcoming tours. Please join us!
