Parent Association: Volunteering
Volunteers are a vital to our school community. There are many opportunities to help with such activities as ice skating, grant writing, Fall Festival, book swap, and auction. Please consider how you could be involved, and email cpe1parentsassn@gmail.com for more information.
Parent Association: Donating
If your child attends our school, you're automatically a member of the CPE1 parent association. The parent association supports activities such as as ice skating, cooking in classrooms, visiting artists, camping, and graduation.
The parent association believes it's not how much you can contribute, but that every family contributes what it can. The goal is full participation of all families.

School Leadership Team Minutes
All New York City public schools have a school leadership team (SLT). SLTs must meet at least once a month to work on improving the school.
SLTs have three required members: the principal, the chapter leader of United Federation of Teachers, and one of the school’s parent association co-presidents. Other staff and parent members are elected to two-year terms. SLTs must have an even balance of staff and parent members.
For 2023-204, the parent members are Adriana Yankovich, Andy Artz, Atiyya Abdur-Rahman, Kent Hansan, and Laura Allen.
Please click here to read the official minutes of SLT meetings.
