Welcome to Brooklyn Tech PA Website
Message from the PA Presidents
Dear Brooklyn Tech Parents and Guardians,
Thank you to all who joined us for our first General PA Meeting of the school year. Special thanks to our parent and student volunteers who helped make the event a success. We appreciate all families who purchased merchandise before the meeting. Every contribution helps bring us closer to our annual fundraising goal. If you were unable to attend the meeting, you may watch the recording on our YouTube channel. Please see the First PA Meeting Recap.
We are looking for five Freshmen Parent Reps to join the PA executive board. Elections will occur during our next meeting on Thursday, October 16, at 6pm. Freshmen parents interested in running for a board position must complete this form by Tuesday, October 14, at 11:59pm. We will not take nominations from the floor on the day of the election.
Please don’t forget to sign-up for Breakfast and Dinner with Principal Newman. Spots are limited and on a first come, first serve basis, so register today!
Volunteers also are needed for this event. Please consider signing-up to co-host one of our breakfasts or dinners alongside a PA board member. Please only sign-up as a guest or volunteer (not both!) for any given day. Volunteers may attend as a guest on a different date.
If you’d like to volunteer at future events, please complete this Volunteer Form.
Sincerely,
Tiffany Roberts & Kim Jalet

What are our teachers saying?
-Mr. David Newman, Principal
“There are aspects of our educational experience at Brooklyn Tech that we simply could not do without the support of the Parents Association. These include financial assistance, partnering with the school academically, socially, and culturally. From teacher grants, which supplement instructional experiences for our students, to Naviance, which guides students and families through the college application process. From supporting clubs and teams to enriching the social and cultural experiences for students. These are just a few examples of how the Parents Association’s support has had a profound impact on the Brooklyn Tech community, especially our students.”
“On behalf of the Caribbean Culture and Service Club, I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous financial support of our 2nd Annual Caribbean Heritage Celebration at Brooklyn Technical High School. Your contribution played a vital role in helping us create a vibrant and meaningful experience for our students. Thanks to your support, our celebration was filled with authentic Caribbean cuisine, cultural games, and a lively fashion show. The event was not only fun and festive, but also educational and empowering, giving our students a space to honor their roots and celebrate cultural diversity within our school community.”
-Ms. Tracyavon Ford, School Social Worker
“On behalf of myself and the class of 2025, we want to thank you for helping to make our Sign and Dine event a huge success. We had a big crowd, enough food, and a wonderful time. The kids enjoyed it immensely.”
-Ms. Christina Massie, COSA
