Dear Bronx Science Parents/Guardians,
We would like to thank everyone who attended our PA meeting on Thursday night, which featured a special presentation by Shipra Das from Compass Education. We appreciate Shipra’s thoughtful and pragmatic insight regarding college admissions testing. As promised, please find the Compass Guide to College Admission Testing here. Those who were not able to attend the Thursday PA meeting can watch Ms. Das‘ presentation here. Additional materials on this important topic will be provided as they become available. The PA will also continue to invite speakers to discuss topics of interest to our community, and we are fortunate to have experts visit our community to engage with us.
HOLIDAY PARTY/MERCHANDISE SALE/DINNER/PA MEETING!
Please mark your calendars for our next in-person PA meeting on Thursday, December 19. There will be pre-meeting festivities starting at 6:00 PM with food, swag sales and a chance for our community to come together.
We are pleased to share that we will be joined at 7:00 PM by Assistant Principal of Pupil Personnel Services, Andrew Nasser and a panel of students who will discuss accessing resources in our Guidance Department and by members of the Montefiore School Health Clinic, who will discuss the exciting program that will be established at Bronx Science this winter. In addition, that evening, the Spring Gala team will hold the drawing for the iPhone 16 Pro Raffle! The winner need not be present to win. See the Spring Gala post below for details on how to buy your raffle tickets. This is a night you won’t want to miss!
We will also need VOLUNTEERS for this event, so please lend a hand! You can click here for a SignUp Genius link where you can sign up for volunteer shifts!

As we approach Thanksgiving, we are reminded of how grateful we are to be part of the Bronx Science community. In the spirit of the season, Giving Tuesday, a global day of giving, will be held on December 3. As you weigh the organizations and causes you support, please consider a year-end gift to the Bronx Science Parents’ Association Annual Fund. Your donations help cover the cost of so many important programs that benefit our children and continue to provide them with a world-class education. Learn more about the Annual Fund here. Prefer to donate by check? Please visit our PA website here for more information.
We wish you and your families a Happy Thanksgiving and hope everyone gets to recharge over the Thanksgiving break. We look forward to seeing a number of you at the Coffee with the Principal tomorrow at 8:30 AM.
Look for our next e-newsletter on Sunday, December 8!
Sincerely,
Jennifer Allen-Cheng, Xia (Lisa) Li and Arthur Wong
