Parent Association (PTA)
Our Nursery School Parent Teacher Association (PTA) creates a sense of community and belonging by sponsoring programs and is a great way to become involved in your child’s first school experience. Any parent of a child enrolled in BISNS is automatically a member of the NSPA. This year the Association is led by Schilit Nursery School parents Debby Nachmann and Marion Haberman.
The responsibility of the PTA is to help organize and run fun, exciting, and educational programming for our children and families, organize fundraising efforts, and be the voice of our parent community. Together with Rebecca Ravski, Elizabeth Carpenter and staff, we have planned a year of fantastic programs designed for our students and parents. As you can imagine, our success requires the help of many parent volunteers, giving you endless opportunities to get involved with our school.
