Welcome to Hunter College Elementary School

Dear 2025 Incoming Kindergarten Parents,
 
I hope you are having a lovely February as you enter the last few months of your child's preschool years. It will be exciting to start a new school in the Fall - we are thrilled to welcome you into the community! 
 
By June, you will be receiving contact info for your Incoming Buddy Family -- this is a current Kindergarten or 1st Grade Family who will help answer questions you may have and be a guide for you as you navigate a new school experience. Hopefully you can connect with other HCES parents and kids and eventually your Buddy Families at one or more of our May and June events, which you can find below.

We look forward to you joining the fun! These events are great opportunities to meet other HCES parents and kids, eventually your Buddy Families, and show your kids that HCES is a fun place to be! 
 
In the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions whatsoever! You will also be receiving your login credentials by June for the PTA website. It's always a work-in-progress, but even without your login - you can begin to poke around and find out more about the community.


I look forward to seeing you soon!
 
Kind regards,
 
Kari Strong
PTA President
