PARENTS HELPING PARENTS

This year, there has been a significant increase in lice cases in schools citywide. Much of this can be decreased if we collectively take the time to notify our school as well as parents in your child's class and bus groups. Let's help stop the spread by letting each other know if your child has lice so that we can all check and treat! Below is a helpful flyer to help debunk some misconceptions about lice as well as some practical tips on how to stop the spread. Be proactive and do your research as well through the QR code provided!  

Please review the head lice policy from the DOE by clicking below and check out some helpful tips and information in the flyer. Be on the lookout for more guidance that will be communicated in the near future by the school as well as the PTA soon regarding lice protocol!

Eliana is pleased to make her e-book, "Let's Talk Lice" free for our families and school staff members to read and educate themselves about how crucial it is to learn about lice prevention.

You can use the code LICEDUCATION through the link below:

Our wonderful parent coordinator, Hanne, has retired. We need to find someone just as great as her who can continue to support our school. Get more information and apply HERE.

DON'T FORGET TO DONATE

TO THE ANNUAL FUND!

ESPECIALLY THOSE CORPORATE MATCHES!

***Please remember to check with your workplace's HR department about corporate matches, many companies match employees' charitable contributions! That way you can double the impact of your donation!!***

Corporate matches are a HUGE part of making our goal for the Annual Fund, so please inquire and help make that contribution to our school!

To donate by checks -- please write attention to: PS033M Chelsea Prep PTA Inc. Please write separate checks for the TA Fund and for the Annual Fund. For the TA Fund, be sure to include in the memo TA Fund/Grade/Child's Full Name.
