Project Open Arms

Project Open Arms is a New York City initiative that provides support and resources to students and families
new to the school system, helping them transition smoothly and feel welcomed in their school community.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED

All of our schools are required to have either a Parent
Association (PA) or a Parent Teacher Association(PTA).
These organizations advocate for students and families,update parents and families about the school, and plan and run activities for parents and families

Every year, we ask all families, teachers, and staff in
grades 3-K through 12, and students in grades 6-12 totake the NYC School Survey. The survey gives school leaders a better understanding of what members of their school community think about their school.

These meetings help you understand what your child is learning at school, their academic and social-emotional progress, and what you can do to support them. If your child is having particular difficulties, parent-teacher conferences also give you and the teacher time to plan how you can both help them best.

The School Leadership Team (SLT) is a group of people who develop educational policies for their school. They also make sure there are resources to support those policies.
SLTs provide ongoing evaluations of a school’s educational programs and their impact on student achievement, play an important role in school-based decision-making and help to make school cultures more collaborative.
