Letter From the Parent Coordinator
|
Dear Parents, As a proud member of not only the PS11 family, but the Clinton Hill community as well, I relish each and every day that I am able to provide information, support and assistance for the benefit of you and your children. It may sound cliché to say it is an honor and a privilege to serve you, however in this particular case, I really couldn’t think of a more appropriate phrase to describe my feelings for my position. My relationship with PS11 goes back to 1995 when my eldest daughter was a kindergarten student. I volunteered as a tutor, assistant basketball coach, PTA President, PTA Vice-President to name a few of my roles. I have been blessed to have formed strong and lasting bonds with families throughout the neighborhood. When the position of Parent Coordinator was created, it was and is a perfect match. I was in a position to share my experience as an elementary school parent, a leader and advocate. The aid and encouragement of the administration, the efforts and contributions of the teachers and other staff members and the inspiration of the active and enthusiastic PS11 parents, make it a pleasure to come to work each day. I will continue to do my best to answer any questions or concerns you may have. My role is to assist you with any issues, provide information on navigating the sometimes confusing Department of Education, attempt to acquire resources for the school and our students, create collaborations with the surrounding community and act as the voice of the parents. I can be reached via email at rclement@schools.nyc.gov or by phone at 718-638-2661 or 347-563-5405. |
