Welcome to Gelinas PTSA

1 September 2021

Dear Gelinas Families,

Hello and Welcome back from the Gelinas PTSA Executive Board!  We hope you had a wonderful summer and are ready for this exciting year ahead. 

We hope you will join us at our monthly meetings, which alternate between mornings and evenings. You’ll hear about upcoming events and have an opportunity to speak directly with the Principals and members of the Board of Education. You can bring your questions and concerns to the meetings, or reach out to one of us in advance and we’ll make sure to get you answers. 

We strongly encourage you to attend our first meeting if you are new to the building.  

The full schedule of this year’s Tuesday meetings will be as follows:

9/14 9:30am including New Parent Reception

10/12 at 7pm

11/16 at 9:30am

1/18 at 9:30am

2/15 at 7pm

3/15 at 9:30am

4/12 at 7pm

5/10 at 9:30am including Elections and Budget Vote

At the secondary level, fundraising for the PTSA is done primarily through membership and the school store. Our goal is 100% membership from both Families and Staff. We hope you will join us by filling out the form under the Membership Tab on the PTSA website or at https://gelinasptsa.com/membership and sending it along with a $20 check made out to “PJ Gelinas JHS PTSA.” You can send it in by backpack to the Main Office or by mail to Gelinas PTSA, 25 Mud Road, Setauket, NY 11733. You can also join through Memberhub: https://gelinas.memberhub.com By joining, you will be added to the email distribution list so we can keep you up to date on what’s happening at school even when you miss a meeting. Additionally, as a member, you will have the opportunity to volunteer at the School Store (open to students daily during all three lunch periods) and at our other events.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to any of us with questions or concerns. We wish you and your family good health and happiness this year and always.

Best,

Shamma Murphy (516-581-7882)
