Par­ent involvement.

NYFACS is work­ing closely with par­ents in order to get proper sup­port at home for the children’s school work. There are reg­u­lar com­mu­ni­ca­tion between home and school through phone calls, interim reports, par­ent meet­ings, grade meet­ings, Par­ents Asso­ci­a­tion, invi­ta­tions to pre­sen­ta­tions by the chil­dren, and the Her­itage pro­gram. Par­ents will also be asked to help teach the her­itage cul­ture of their orig­i­nal countries.

PTO

NYFACS has a Par­ents Teach­ers Orga­ni­zar­ion (PTO) that will sup­port par­ents in com­mu­ni­cat­ing with the school, pro­vide events for fam­i­lies and, in gen­eral, help cre­ate an envi­ron­ment where par­ents are a part of the school com­mu­nity. The PTO will include teach­ers and par­ents. The PTO’s pri­mary goal is to involve fam­i­lies and the com­mu­nity in pro­duc­tive ways so that all stu­dents reach impor­tant edu­ca­tional goals for learn­ing and success.
