List of 5 items.

• Incoming 7s Medical Requirements

  Information regarding medical requirements will be made available once it is released by the state. We will need a form from your doctor (CH 205) as well as additional documentation if your child has allergies.
  
  The expected release of medical requirements is April. We will update this page once the information is released.

• Special Education Resources

  Eri Silverstein, our Special Education Liaison, offers assistance with parents of children who will use a learning plan during their time at Hunter. Hunter is committed to providing a learning community that meets the needs of all students.

• Celebrating Diversity with Affinity Groups

  The PTA champions diversity; it's a core part of our stated mission to promote appreciation and harmony among our many identities. Below are Hunter parent community groups you can join in celebration of our rich diversity.
  
  

  Mosaic
  
  

  Mosaic (K-12) This K-12 committee focuses on supporting an inclusive environment at HCCS. Mosaic’s mission includes holding space for difficult conversations to increase mutual understanding and foster a sense of community within our school and in the greater society. Anyone interested in supporting and enhancing inclusion and belonging at HCHS is urged to contribute. Beyond interest and enthusiasm, a useful skill would be the ability to find good speakers for our monthly meetings as well as our evening events. mosaic@hunterpta.org
  
  The PTA works closely with the following affiliated parent groups, which support their respective communities through meetings, activities, and events that are co-sponsored with the PTA.
  
  

  • Association of Latin and Hispanic Familias y Amigos (ALHFA) hccs.alhfa@gmail.com
  • Chinese American Parents Association (CAPA) capa@hunterpta.org
  • Jewish Affinity Group (JAG) jag@hunterpta.org
  • Korean American Parents Association (KAPA) kapa@hunterpta.org
  • Parents of African-American Children (PAAC) paac@hunterpta.org

• Join the PTA as a Grade Rep!

  A great tradition of the HCHS PTA is to reserve a position on the PTA Board for a parent or guardian of a rising 7th grader. The PTA Board (usually) meets on the evening of the first Monday of every month. At least half (probably more) of the meetings will be conducted via Zoom.
  
  The Grade 7 Rep (or Reps, who would share the vote) is a full voting member of the Board, and acts as the PTA's ambassador to seventh grade families. The Grade 7 Rep(s) also works with Travel Class Reps to coordinate student/family events, messaging, and PTA initiatives. Being part of the Board is a fantastic way to keep up with all that goes on at HCHS, as well as meet so many interesting people within our community.
  
  Whether you have previous PTA experience or not, if being part of the HCHS PTA Board interests you, or if you just have questions about it, please reach out to Hayrim and Roseanne (president@hunterpta.org). If you know for sure that you would like to run for Grade 7 Rep, please fill this out.

• Neighborhood Commuting Outreach

  HCHS is a citywide school, with students coming from every corner of this geographically enormous city. What's more, our students take full advantage of the extra-curricular activities offered at HCHS, making their daily schedules varied and unique. For these reasons, it is simply not possible for PTA volunteers to centrally organize and maintain bus routes or rideshare programs. 

  
  However, we are happy to put parents who live in the same areas and are interested in organizing rideshares or commuting buddies in touch with one another. We can also put you in touch with existing Hunter parents in your area if you would like their advice on commuting strategies. If any of these things interest you, please fill out our quick questionnaire.
