District 20 Middle School Open Houses

A Message from Our Superintendent

The safety and well-being of every student and staff member is my number one priority. Regarding concerns about inappropriate public comments made by several meeting visitors at the May CEC20 meeting, District 20 and New York City Public Schools has a zero-tolerance policy for bias and discrimination against the LGBTQIA community, and we reject all forms of hate. Hateful rhetoric towards any group has no place in our schools or amongst our parent leaders.

Our goal and our responsibility is to ensure every single child feels safe and welcomed in our schools. This includes our transgender youth. District 20 stands strongly behind the NYCPS 2019 gender guidelines. All students have the right to have their gender, gender identity, and gender expression recognized and respected.

Family Connectors

Family Connectors brings together parents, caregivers, and community members who are passionate about supporting NYC Public Schools families. Through twice-monthly meetings, participants share resources, exchange ideas, learn about opportunities for involvement, and build connections that help strengthen family engagement across school communities.

Both programs provide meaningful opportunities for families to connect with one another, access valuable information and resources, and become active partners in supporting student success.

Please help us spread the word by sharing these opportunities with families in your school community who may be interested in participating.

Thank you for your continued partnership and for helping empower families as leaders, advocates, and essential partners in education.
