Mission Statement

Our PS 315 Lab School Parent-Teacher Association is a powerful voice for all families – parents, guardians, and children. We hope to be a relevant resource for families and communities, as well as strong advocates for the education and well-being of every child.

PTA’s mission is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children within our Lab School learning community.

PTA Values

  • Collaboration: We will work in partnership with a wide array of individuals and organizations to broaden and enhance our ability to serve and advocate for all children and families.
  • Commitment: We are dedicated to children’s educational success, health, and well-being through strong family and community engagement, while remaining accountable to the principles upon which our association was founded.
  • Diversity: We acknowledge the potential of everyone without regard, including but not limited to: age, culture, economic status, educational background, ethnicity, gender, geographic location, legal status, marital status, mental ability, national origin, organizational position, parental status, physical ability, political philosophy, race, religion, sexual orientation, and work experience.
  • Respect: We value the individual contributions of members, volunteers, and partners as we work collaboratively to achieve our association’s goals.
