For Families
Every family is an important part of the PS11 community and the success of our students. We hope the following information is helpful! For any questions, please feel free to contact PS11’s Parent Coordinator or the PS11 PTA.
Volunteer Opportunities
We ask every PS 11 family member to volunteer 11 hours (or more!) of their time to ensure the success of all the amazing programs, committees, events and activities that we are able to offer thanks to volunteer support.
From the library to our Chess team to Field Day to the Spring Gala, there are so many ways to get involved! Email us, and we’ll work with you to find a volunteer opportunity that suits your availability and interests.
There’s a lot in it for you (and your child!) too! You’ll get to know the school through a child’s eyes - teachers, staff, kids and the environment! You’ll get to actively participate in your child’s education - and help other students, whose families might not have the flexibility to do so. You’ll also get to know other families and make new friends.
PS11 Book Club
The PS 11 School Leadership Team (a team of elected Family Members and Staff) are pleased to launch the PS 11 Book Club in January-2025! This is a new initiative designed to bring together our community for meaningful conversation and shared learning. Through this club, we aim to foster a sense of community, encourage open dialogue, and strengthen the bonds that make our school a supportive and engaging environment.
We will hold three virtual book club meet-ups to discuss the reading. Each session will be held at 12:00 PM via Zoom and all sessions will appear on the PS11 calendar.
In creating this book club, we hope to empower each member of our community to engage thoughtfully with the material and with each other. By sharing ideas, personal insights, and compassionate dialogue, we strengthen the culture that defines our community.
Please note that these meetings will not be recorded or distributed afterward, ensuring a respectful, open space for honest conversation.
Should you have questions, please feel free to reach out to us via email: [email protected] or [email protected].
