The PS#2 Parent Teacher Organization (PS#2 PTO) is an all-volunteer, parent-led, non-profit organization committed to enhancing and enriching the educational experience of our children and fostering a sense of community within our school.  We seek to keep parents connected and informed by facilitating a closer relationship between school and home and serving as the communication link between the two.  At the heart of our mission is a commitment to strengthen PS#2's capacity to provide the highest quality education possible for all students.  We look forward to a successful and fun year ahead!

 

The PS #2 PTO is committed to:

  • Harnessing our collective energy, talents, and time to support high-quality education for all students.

  • Assisting teachers in addressing students’ physical, mental, and social needs.

  • Fostering a healthy, active, and inclusive school environment.

  • Organizing events and activities that build school spirit and a sense of community.

  • Welcoming diverse perspectives and encouraging active participation from all families.

  • Promoting collaboration and teamwork among parents, teachers, and administration.

  • Responding to emerging needs to enhance the school experience.
