Dear Fellow Parents & Guardians,
We’re delighted to report that we plan to hold the December 15th General Parents’ Association Meeting in person. Note: this is not the next PA meeting — we’re giving you advance notice to plan for what will be the first time we’ll all be back in the building since March, 2020. We hope to livestream the meeting, which will feature Bronx Science Alumni Foundation Vice President Eleanor Coufos (Class of ’99). The Alumni Foundation (AF) is the primary source of funding and enrichment for our students and school. Eleanor will share her wealth of knowledge with us, including exciting AF-driven Bronx Science developments, and tips for how our kids can make the most of their summers.
But wait, there’s more! Because this is the first time back in 20 months, and because it’s so close to the holidays, we will be turning this into a first-of-its-kind, post-virtual celebration! Come hungry as the PA will convert the school gymnasium into an alcohol-free, COVID-protocol-guided appetizer lounge. Plus, bring your checkbook and prepare to do some holiday shopping at the first live Bronx Science swag market. Be prepared for an evening of fun, solidarity and holiday cheer.
Although this meeting is six weeks away, please note: The school will require that all attendees show proof of full vaccination and present a DOE health screening survey (the same ones our kids fill out daily). Look for more info in the coming weeks.
More immediately, if you haven’t done so already, please mark your calendars for the next PA Meeting Tuesday, November 16th. We’re looking forward to a great session about teen anxiety, moderated by AP Andrew Nasser and featuring a panel of experts including our very own Bronx Science Family Healing Ambassador, Alison Gardy.

Finally, mark your calendars and plan to join us as the school hosts a Safety Virtual Town Hall at 8:51am on Wednesday, November 17th. Details from Parent Coordinator Cindy Golan to follow.
