TALES PTA
The PTA of PS 244Q is dedicated to promoting our students’ health, well-being and educational success through strong parent, teacher and community involvement. We bring speakers to our school to cover topics including child empowerment, parenting for new immigrants and mental health in both English and Mandarin languages. The PTA introduces our families to resources, programs, exhibitions and activities from local organizations such as the Child Center of NY, Flushing Town Hall, Queens Historical Society and the Chinese Community Center of Flushing.
Our parent members have participated in an 8-week nutrition and health workshop from Cornell University Cooperative Extension where they do food tasting, discuss meal preparation and how to shop smart in the supermarket. We collaborate with the NYC Parent Academy and the Department of Health to offer interactive tutorials on a balanced school and home life. The PTA has also formed a group of parent volunteers who help in the classrooms and at school events. Additionally, we have a long-standing partnership with Citi Field and the New York Mets and receive donated tickets for our PS 244Q families to attend select games for free.
Typically, PTA meetings are held on the last Tuesday of each month at 8:30am in the cafeteria.
