PTA - Parent/Teacher Association
Midtown West has a very active Parent/Teacher Association that helps to facilitate many of the programs in the school. The PTA raises money, supports and helps to organize PTA functions, school events and classroom curriculum projects. All parents, guardians and teachers are automatically members of the PTA. The goals and objectives of the MTW PTA are:

SLT- School Leadership Team
The School Leadership Team (SLT) is comprised of staff members, the Principal, the PTA President, four other parent representatives and one alternate. The parent body elects the SLT members at the general PTA meeting in June. Each segment of the school population is represented, i.e., lower (Pre-K, K & 1st), middle (2nd & 3rd), and upper (4th & 5th) grades. We also try to ensure that the ethnic diversity of the school is reflected. The SLT meets monthly and acts as an advisory board to the Principal. The SLT makes recommendations to the Principal and works in cooperation with the staff to construct a Comprehensive Educational Plan (CEP) for the school. MTW parents are invited to attend meetings as observers. Minutes and schedules are posted on the PTA bulletin board outside room 210. Parents may submit agenda items to parent representatives and PTA officers. SLT Contact: Neslihen Serocak ns2495@columbia.edu MTW SLT Bylaws
