Parent involvement is more than just a phrase at NYOS. It is vital to the school's success and to the success and achievement of each child. Each parent's talents, skills and energies are wholly welcomed toward that end.

Research on student achievement indicates that when parents are active members of the child's school life, the child's academic progress accelerates and self-esteem blossoms. Based on this research, parents are required to be involved by volunteering. You are expected to meet (or exceed) our challenge to volunteer 20 hours per family over the course of the year.

The Parent Volunteer Committee (PVC) is our parent group at NYOS and our mission is to support the school in areas of hospitality, volunteer organization, communications and fundraising. As a parent, you are automatically a member!
