ESMS PTA
Eastside Middle School Parent Teacher Association
The PTA at East Side Middle School is an engaged network of parents & guardians working to support the administration, teachers and staff in providing one of the best middle school experiences in New York City. If you are a parent or guardian at ESMS, you are automatically a member of the PTA! The parent community elected the Board members below to represent you for this school year. We welcome your input, and we hope to see you at our monthly General PTA meetings.
Our goal is to involve and engage every family at ESMS. We encourage you to attend events and to volunteer as your time allows. We hope you will donate what you can to Annual Fund - Click Here to Donate Now; the support of our generous ESMS community has allowed the PTA to ensure activity access to all students and to continually support many of the programs that create an excellent artistic, athletic, and globally-rich environment that supplements rigorous learning.
In addition to maintaining the school website, the PTA communicates via a weekly newsletter, sent to all families and staff on Sunday evenings. If you are not receiving PTA emails, please let us know at pta@esms.org. Reach out any time if you would like to get involved, share a suggestion, or have any questions.
