The Stuyvesant High School Parents' Association (StuyPA) General Meetings are designed with your needs in mind. Attendance will enrich your understanding of issues that directly affect your child. Our programs regularly present key members of the Stuyvesant community and well-informed guest speakers who make presentations on topics such as college admissions and financial aid.

Meetings are held monthly from September through June. Simultaneous interpretation in Korean and Mandarin is available. Meetings generally start at 7:00pm. For details about the programs of upcoming meetings, please check the StuyPA’s weekly email announcements as well as this website.

Becoming involved in the StuyPA is an excellent way for you to play an active role in your child’s education and personal growth at Stuyvesant. The StuyPA Executive Board invites you to join in the PA’s endeavors to make our children’s experience at Stuy as enriching and rewarding as it can be.

Please note that all parents of Stuyvesant students are automatically members of the Parents’ Association; no dues or donations are required. NYC DOE regulations and the StuyPA By-Laws define “parent” broadly to include: a mother, father, adopted parent, step-parent, guardian, and/or any person in a parental relation to a child, and/or persons who act in loco parentis (in place of a parent or legal guardian with whom the child resides or who has been designated by the parent or legal guardian) regarding the child’s education. 

To run for office:

1. Fill out the nomination form > 7 days before election

2. Submit a candidate statement > 5 days before election

3. Join the StuyPA General Meeting Zoom early with your assigned candidate number, prepared to give ~30-second statement. If you cannot attend the election meeting you may have someone speak on your behalf.

Candidate Eligibility and Rules

All parents and guardians of current Stuyvesant High School students are eligible to run for office, except those also employed by the NYC DOE. To ensure all candidates are given an equal opportunity, all election and candidate materials will be distributed/posted by the StuyPA, without endorsement, after the close of nominations and at least 24-hours before the election. This will be in the form of a candidate list, and a compilation of collected candidate statements. Candidates will also be able to address the membership for 30-seconds during the virtual election meeting. No materials in support of a candidate or a slate of candidates may be distributed or posted on school premises/websites by any candidate or supporter. This includes chat rooms, group texts, parent email lists, newsletters, and social media targeted at the Stuyvesant and/or StuyPA community. Candidates who violate this provision, directly or indirectly, will be subject to disqualification and may be deemed ineligible for office for that election year. (Chancellor’s Regulations A660 E.6.b and the Stuyvesant PA By-Laws IV.11.4)
