Parent Involvement

Educating our children is a partnership between the home and the school.  Teachers provide monthly newsletters, class webpages, or other resources to keep parents informed on homework policies, upcoming tests, projects or other events.  In addition to your child’s teacher, the school may need to communicate news to you via notices, flyers, automated phone calls, or by email (please make sure all numbers and emails are up-to-date).  It is important to check your child’s folders, planners and backpack daily to ensure you are aware of important events.  

There are many opportunities to meet and communicate with your child’s teacher to discuss your child’s academic progress.  Teachers meet with parents throughout the school day and often communicate via telephone and email.  If you need to communicate with your child’s teacher, you can call the main office, write a note and send it in your child’s folder or email the Parent Coordinator  Eburgos21@schools.nyc.gov and someone will get back to you.  The school welcomes this strong partnership to ensure the success of all of our students.  

It is important that you write a note to your child’s teacher if you are picking your child up early, if after school arrangements have changed, or if your child has been out sick, etc.

Throughout the school year, PS 139 will host various events for parents and families.  Please check the monthly calendar and emails  for notices promoting these events.

Classrooms have writing celebrations and publishing parties throughout the school year that you will be welcome to attend.

Birthday celebrations - if your child has a birthday during the school year and you would like to send in a healthy snack for the class, please contact your child's teacher to find out the best time and number needed. These items should be individually wrapped with the ingredients listed. All beverages should be individual, i.e.; plastic water bottle or juice containers, etc. No cakes, glass bottles or large bottles.

Please note some students have severe allergies, so it is imperative you speak to the teacher about what will be permitted in the classroom.
