THANK YOU!
To all the phone volunteers who helped make our Annual PTA
Phone-A-Thon a success. We, especially, would like to thank all
the parents/legal guardians of HSAS students who stepped up to help support the PTA of HSAS with their generous donations. Their generosity not only helped the PTA, it was a direct support for the school, and out kids! Remember, HSAS cannot operate successfully without your financial support. Do you know that your dollars can make a difference in your child’s education at HSAS? By the simple act of giving to the PTA of HSAS, you are supporting the many incredible opportunities that HSAS has to offer—excellent and dedicated teachers and staff members, small class sizes, numerous clubs and activities, and much more. But to ensure that your children continue to have everything they need for an optimal experience at HSAS, they need your help TODAY. If you have not already done so, please donate what you can. Thank you.

PTA of HSAS Presents: A Healing Centered Conversation for HSAS Parents
Hosted by Charlotte Elkin
 
Tuesday, January 11, 2022 from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m.

This will be a Zoom conversation about how, even with our current reality, we can work towards healing and preventing unnecessary suffering, together.

As a parent representative Charlotte Elkin participated in a citywide training this past summer, that was given by the DOE's Office of Family and Community Empowerment (FACE), within the Division of School Climate and Wellness (DSCW). This meeting is a product of that initiative. In her work life, Charlotte is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 20 years of experience in the fields of mental health, primary care, and employee wellness.
