We happily invite PS20 international parents to join the first event of the PS20 International Families Committee. Join us for breakfast and get to know other international families. This will be an opportunity for immigrant parents to be heard, feel welcomed and participate in the PS20 community.

The International Families Committee is a new subcommittee of the PS20 JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion) Committee. Our goal is to strengthen our international community bonds and support immigrant families throughout the school years. And we would like you to be part of this construction.

*There will be French, Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic speakers (at least)!

*If you can, bring a typical snack from your country. (But we will bring food)

  MARTES - 20 DECIEMBRE a las 08:30

  Les invitamos a los papás internacionales para el primer evento del Comité de Familias Internacionales de PS20. Venga a desayunar con nosotros y conocer otras familias internacionales. Esta es una oportunidad para darles la bienvenida a los papás y mamás inmigrantes, escucharles y participar en la comunidad de la escuela.

  El Comité de Familias Internacionales es un nuevo subcomité que hace parte del Comité JEDI (Justicia, Equidad, Diversidad y Inclusión) de PS20. Nuestro objetivo es reforzar los lazos de la comunidad internacional y ayudar a las familias inmigrantes a lo largo de los años. ¡Nos encantaría tenerlos como parte de esta construcción!

  *Vamos a tener traducción para francés, español, portugués y árabe (por lo menos).

  * Si quiere, puede traer un aperitivo de su país. (Pero vamos a traer el desayuno)

Our next PTA General Membership Meeting is Thursday, December 15th from 6-8PM. This meeting will be a hybrid meeting - meaning it will be both virtual (on Zoom) and in-person (in the PS20 Library). If you are interested in attending the meeting in-person, please RSVP on Konstella or email board@ps20.org (include the names of attendees and if you need childcare).
NOTE: DOE requires adult visitors to show ID and proof of at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccination.

This Giving Tuesday, please consider making a donation to support PS20! Every little bit helps us get closer to our annual fundraising goal of $100,000 to hire essential PTA School Assistants, fund gardening and art instructors, support our ongoing community initiatives, and much more.

Starting today until December 31, we're setting a goal to raise $10,000.
Plus, every donation will be DOUBLE-MATCHED—dollars-for-dollar up to $30,000—by a group of generous PS20 donors. 

Donate here today!

 You give $1
+ Challenge Fund donors match with $2
= PS20 gets $3!

You give $20
+ Challenge Fund donors match with $40
= PS20 gets $60!

Every donation matters! No gift is too small—our goal is 100% participation. And amplify your donation: see if your employer offers a matching gifts program!

Join us tonight at 6pm for our November PTA meeting featuring updates and Q&A with Principal Barbera, news on participatory budget, fundraising, Green Arts and more!

The PS20 PTA is searching for a qualified candidate to teach our Green Arts Visual Arts for Pre-K to 5th grade. PS20 Green Arts is an interdisciplinary, hands-on educational approach that broadens students’ thinking and problem-solving abilities. The program is a collaboration between classroom teachers and the PS20 Arts and PS20 Gardening Programs that began in 2013.

While the position is not a DOE job, you will be hired by the PS20 PTA which is a 501c3 nonprofit organization and work collaboratively with the gardening teacher who is also employed by the PS20 PTA. PS20 teachers work closely with the program’s instructors to ensure that what the children do outside in the garden and in the art studio informs and complements the work that is done in the classroom. While students are digging in the garden and expressing themselves in the art studio, they are building on what they have learned in social studies, science and other core subjects.

SCHEDULE: Full Time - 35 hours a week; 5 periods of instruction, 1 period of prep and 1 period for lunch per day. School Day runs 8:20am - 2:40pm. 40 weeks a year.

View the Full Job Description & Application Process - The position is open until filled, but preference will be given to candidates who apply before December 15, 2022. Ideal start date January 2023.
