School Leadership Team

  

Do you want to have a direct voice in matters concerning the school such as school-based planning and shared decision making?  Then holding a seat on the School Leadership Team, or SLT, is where you want to be.  How do you get on the SLT?  There are 5 ways to get on the SLT:

  • 1st - By Being the Principal or Admin Designee
  • 2nd - By Being the Parent Association President*
  • 3rd - By Being a UFT Elected Member
  • 4th - By Being a DC-37 Elected Member
  • 5th - By Being an Elected Parent Member*

The School Leadership Team is comprised of the aforementioned seats and consists of 10 or more board members.  The Parent Association President automatically holding one of these seats.   Any parent who wishes to be on the SLT, must either become the school's PA President, hold one of the other seats on the PA executive board (Treasurer or Secretary) or be elected by the current School Leaders.  If you are interested in being a part of our school's SLT, please make sure you attend our virtual Parent Association Meeting via Zoom.

 

*Pelham Gardens Middle School will hold Parent Association Elections virtually on Thursday, October 28, 2021 at 5:30 p.m. on the Zoom Video Conference Platform.  Please register for the PA Elections.  You cannot join the meeting or cast your vote for the President, Treasurer or Secretary unless you register now for the elections.
