Hello! On behalf of the entire PTSA Executive Board, we would like to wish you and your children the best as we begin this school year together. Whether you are new to the building, or have sent many students through the front doors on Mud Road, I believe you are in for a year of exceptional growth, camaraderie and success at P.J. Gelinas Junior High School!

The PTSA is here to serve the needs of our students, staff and families both within our walls and on the statewide and national levels through our parent organization. We hope you will join us at our monthly meetings, which alternate between mornings and evenings. You will hear about upcoming events, presentations and activities for the children. You’ll also have an opportunity to speak directly with the Principals and members of the Board of Education, and become an active advocate for your child. This year’s Tuesday meetings will be as follows:

9/17 at 9:30am including the 7th Grade Parent Breakfast 

10/22 at 7pm
11/19 at 9:30am
1/21 at 7pm
2/25 at 7pm
3/17 at 9:30am
4/21 at 7pm
5/12 at 9:30am including the TVCSD budget presentation

At the secondary level, fundraising for the PTSA is done primarily through membership. 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.

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. You will also be invited to join our Facebook page. Additionally, as a member, you will have the opportunity to volunteer at events like Rec Night and at the School Store.

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.

With Warm Regards,
Sue Rosenzweig, 516-429-0620
