DOE Messages to Families

Message from the PS 65 PTA
Due to insufficient interest in tonight's meeting, we will move the PTA election to coincide with our June meeting instead.
The meeting is to be held on June 15th at 6:30pm.
In order to have a functioning PTA for next school year, we need at least three parents to volunteer. Consider running for any of the positions open. Visit the PTA Election page for more information.
Please email Ms. Taverna, PTA President to express interest at 31R065PA@schools.nyc.gov and fill out the Willingness to Serve Form.
Report Cards are available in your New York City Schools Account (NYCSA)
By now, most parents have set up their accounts, but for those that have not - please get in touch with Ms. Santaliz, Parent Coordinator, to help set up an account. Report cards are available in your NYCSA account.
Parents will vote in the CEC elections through their NYCSA account this year. So if both parents want to vote, they need an account. Please read below if you have not set up your account. NYCSA is an easy way to stay connected to your child’s school, offering you access to your child’s grades, schedules, test scores, attendance, Individualized Education Program (IEP) information, bus times, and more. NYCSA allows you to submit essential school forms online and access important announcements from the NYC Department of Education, including news of events in your district or citywide.NYCSA now includes Parent University, a resource hub filled with free courses, events, and activities to help empower you as an advocate for your child’s education. In addition, you can use NYCSA to cast your vote in upcoming elections for candidates who will represent your community on local and citywide Community Education Councils.

Mindfulness Classes at Parent University
Mindfulness is emerging in public education based on 60 years of teachers, parents, and families discovering and utilizing these strategies of stress management, attentional focus, awareness, acceptance, and self-regulation to:
- Stay with & realize solutions to personal and public challenges and changes
- Increase one's capacity to notice and appreciate life in ways that support resilience
- Support joyful learning and growth
- Develop critical thinking skills
Join us each Tuesday and Thursday at 7:30pm as we build community and harness the power of self-care and self-healing through the discovery of the conscious breath, meditation, and movement.
