ABOUT THE PTA

Welcome new and returning families to East Side Elementary School, PS 267! We invite and encourage you to participate in our school in any and every way you can. As a parent/guardian of a child attending PS 267, you are automatically a member of the PS 267 PTA, a non-profit organization.

The PTA is dedicated to supporting our school through fundraising initiatives, building community
engagement and inclusivity, facilitating communication, and working closely with our principal, Ms.
Medea McEvoy. You will find many opportunities to make a difference in your child’s education and
overall school experience.

Please contact Isis Louw and Michelle Fountain-Lee (PTA Co-Presidents) at presidents@ps267.org with any questions, comments, or suggestions. 

The PS 267 PTA office is located on the first floor in room 103A. 

The PTA mailbox is located to the left of the first set of doors as you enter the school.
