WELCOME TO THE BIRCH PTA WEB SITE!

The Birch PTA would like to welcome you to 2007-2008 school year!

We have gone through some changes this year, from Mr. Eric Arlin becoming our

new principal and Miss Kerri Schlissel our new Asst. Principal - we look forward

to an amazing school year! Also, Birch executed the new 6 day school cycle, this

transition was developed to ensure that all classes receive equal time throughout

the year in gym, art and music, etc. Since most of the coming holidays/school

closings seemed to fall on a particular day, those classes would miss an enormous

amount of these activities. The children seem to be comfortable with this transition

and change. The PTA is looking forward to implementing and revisiting past

successful events and exciting new events this year and we hope that you and your

family will participate in as many as possible. Your involvement is important to your

child's experience, as well as to all of our teachers and students at Birch school.

We can't thank you all enough for your participation in the past

and we look forward to it in the future! Thank you!

One way to become a part of the educational process is through participation in the meetings of the

Board of Education. The Board generally meets at least once a month on Tuesdays beginning at

7:00 p.m. in Board Room of the Katherine E. Reif Administration Center located behind the

Norman J. Levy Lakeside school.

Changes in the date, time, and/or location of Board meetings are available on the Merrick School District website www.merrick-k6.org or by contacting the Superintendent’s Office: 516-992-7200.

For our educational system to flourish, it needs the involvement of all members of our community.

The public is welcome and encouraged to attend and participate in these monthly meetings.
