Dear Mamaroneck Schools Community,

The months of preparation over the summer have given way to a new school year.  We've started off on the right track thanks to the diligent work of the District's leadership team and the patience, adaptability, and resilience of our wonderful community.  Whether you decided to study remotely or via the hybrid model, the successful launch of the school year was a direct reflection of our amazing teachers, students, and families.  THANK YOU.

PT Council is made up of leaders from all six school-based PTA units of the Mamaroneck school district and SEPTA.  We operate under the auspices of the NYS PTA to fulfill its mission to represent "every child; (with) one voice."  This goal is underscored by core values of collaboration, commitment, accountability, respect, inclusivity, and integrity.  PT Council members meet regularly with District administrators and NYS legislators to advocate on behalf of our families, teachers, and students.  This forum for communication and the exchange of information and ideas is ever-important as we experience this unprecedented time together.  

We encourage you to reach out to us, and especially your school PTA and SEPTA.  Remain informed and engaged - we'll need your feedback as we navigate this school year to keep our families safe, healthy and STRONGER THAN EVER, TOGETHER!

Sally Cantwell & Amy Nofal, Co-Presidents
