PS20 PARENTS & TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
We are all PTA !
All families with a student currently enrolled at PS20 is automatically a member of the PTA. At PS20 we believe that a strong, unified and committed community of parents, guardians and extended family is an integral part of building a school that is able to help our children reach their fullest potential as scholars, citizens and neighbors. Our families work collaboratively with our school administration to make amazing strides in reimagining 21st century education and living out our vision.
