Will Your Child Attend Middle School? 

Even if your child is only in Kindergarten, this impacts you. Many of our District 3 elementary schools have experienced tremendous growth over the last couple of years as a result of the baby boom. Now, middle school is approaching fast. Projections show that we will not have enough seats district-wide to accommodate all students. We need more seats!

Finding a middle school that works for your family is harder and harder with every passing year!

Middle school is a critical academic and social period in a child’s life. We want all kids in our schools to have a seat at a quality public middle school. Without new middle school seats and with much larger numbers of elementary school graduates, we ask: Where are these students supposed to go? Are we as parents to sit back until this crisis is upon us?

We’re working on the problem…

Parents of the District 3 Middle School Committee have spent nearly two years analyzing data about the impending seat shortage. We have concluded that a 6th grade class needs to be incubated by the fall of  2013.

But, we need your help…

Backed by this data, we are asking the NYC Department of Education to acknowledge that District 3 does not have enough middle school seats to accommodate all students, and to help the community create a new, high quality middle school that will inclusively serve the students who are representative of the diverse communities of District 3.

Please sign our petition today!

To get a new middle school, we need your support TODAY! Please sign our petition expressing to the D3 Community Education Council, our elected representatives, and the NYC Dept of Education your support for a new public middle school. 

Thank you for your support, and please spread the word to all concerned parents that you know by encouraging them to visit this site and sign our petition.


Sincerely,
Parents of the District 3
 Middle School Committee -- Parents Supporting Parents!
