  Daily Health Screening Form

  Hello parents and students.  Please be aware that all students are required to complete the NYC Health Screening Form before they enter the school building.  This form MUST be completed daily.  To expedite entry into school building and to avoid the hassle and inconvenience of filling out a paper form, it is highly recommended that all students fill out the form online on their phone.  The student will show the completed form on their phone to the Assistant Principal upon arrival to the building.  Click Here to go to the NYC Health Screening Form and bookmark the page.  If you have any question or concerns, please feel free to contact your Parent Coordinator Mr. Leader.

• Join Us For Our First Ever Virtual Parent Association Elections

  Hello PGMS Parents,

   

  This transition to the virtual environment has been challenging in many ways.  Parents, students, teachers and staff are all learning how to navigate all the changes.  One of those changes is how we are conducting our Parent Association elections.  This year (and possibly for the foreseeable future) PA elections will be held virtually.  With that said, Pelham Gardens Middle School will hold Parent Association Elections on Friday, October 30, 2020 at 10:00am via Zoom.  We want to ensure a smooth election process, so please follow these directions:

   

  Indicate Your Interest - Please fill out the PA Elections Executive Board Candidate Interest Form if you are interested in running for either President, Treasurer or Secretary.  I need this form completed ASAP, so I can place your name in the system for the elections.  Please note that the Treasurer and Secretary seats are currently vacant due to the previous board members' children graduating.  The seat of President is currently held by Mrs. Yanira Ferreira, but is also open for anyone who wants to run. (Click the Blue Link) 

   

  Register For The Elections -  Please register for the PA Elections.  You cannot join the meeting or cast your vote for President, Treasurer or Secretary unless you are registered. (Click the Blue Link)

   

  Please Be Available - Parent participation is extremely important when it comes to matters such as elections.  Please be available for the elections.  Since this is the first ever virtual election,  not only are we expecting high parent participation, but you can be anywhere and still participate.  All you have to do is login and join us.  

   

  And as always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me a tleader@pgms566.org.

   

   

  Thank You,
