Hello, P.S. 56Q Families!

My name is Jose Alves, and I am honored to serve as your PTA Secretary. As someone who began my academic journey in English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, I understand the challenges many of our families face. My goal is to foster open communication, encourage parent engagement, and ensure our school is a bridge between home and education.

I believe a balanced education includes not only academics but also physical activity and play. I’m passionate about promoting more movement and reducing screen time to create a healthier learning environment for our children.

I’d also like to express my gratitude to our dedicated administrators, our amazing Parent Coordinator, and the entire P.S. 56Q staff. From the facilities team to the support staff, everyone plays a vital role in making our school a welcoming and nurturing place for our kids to learn and grow.

I’m excited to collaborate with our community and look forward to an incredible school year ahead!

Jose Alves
