Dear Parents and Guardians of Pre-K to 5 Graders,

Welcome to a new school year! We hope everyone had a wonderful summer and are excited to begin a new year at PS130. As many of you know, PS130 ranks in the top 10% of all NYC public elementary schools. With your help we can maintain this ranking for this coming year and beyond.

The Parents Association plays an important role in our school by supporting the initiatives of the principal and administration. The PA serves as the main information center for many parents unfamiliar with the Board of Education and our school. We are responsible for the many annual fundraising events, school parties, book sales, workshops and school fairs. However, none of this would be possible without your participation.

• Principal welcoming
  
• Introduction of board members
  
• Reading and Approval of Minutes
  
• PA Financials: June 2026 Treasurer’s Report
