As parent coordinator for the school, Karen
acts as a one-woman helpdesk. If parents have a question, need or concern,
Karen can give answers (or find the person who can give the answers).
In addition, Karen oversees all the
communication vehicles for the school, including the website copy, the
all-important Wednesday bulletin, the school emails and even the bulletin
boards posted outside!
Karen is often in demand for the following:
questions about lunches and PTA events, pre-K and kindergarten registration and
admissions, middle school transitions, getting in contact with teachers, and
school tours.
Need help navigating the bureaucratic public
school system in general? Karen to the rescue.
In addition, Karen can help you with
scheduling parent pickups, communicating to your teacher when your child is
sick, and even getting homework sent home.
A PS 39 parent herself, Karen is a former
fifth-grade teacher with a masters degree in curriculum and instruction. It’s a
great place for her to be while her girls attend the school, and she’s in a
great place for you if you have a PS 39-related question.
