Yonkers Council of PTA/PTSAs

Yonkers Council of PTA/PTSAs The Yonkers Council of PTA/PTSAs connects families, schools and communities.

The Yonkers Council of Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) is dedicated to improving and expanding educational opportunities for children and public education by working with families, the community and businesses. Individual school PTAs and PTSAs join together to form the Yonkers Council of PTA/PTSA which serves as a forum for exchanging ideas, learning

new leadership techniques and is a strong venue for advocacy. The PTA is first and foremost an advocacy group in all areas of our children’s education because we always believe, “Our Children Deserve Better.”

The Yonkers Council are members of the Westchester East Putnam Regional PTA, New York State PTA and National PTA.

On behalf of the Yonkers Council of PTA/PTSA,

Today, we are grieving the tragic loss of a student from the Justice Sonia Sotomayor Community School.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the student's family, friends, classmates, teachers, and all those whose lives have been touched by this heartbreaking loss. As parents, news like this weighs heavily on our hearts and reminds us of the preciousness of every child.

We extend our deepest condolences to the family during this difficult time. May they find strength in the love and support that surrounds them, and may the entire school community find comfort, unity, and healing as they navigate this profound loss together.

With sympathy and support,
Yonkers Council of PTA/PTSAs

A message from Yonkers Public Schools Superintendent Anibal Soler, Jr.

There are no words to express the depth of sadness that we’re wrestling with, here in the Yonkers Public Schools today. At this moment we are mourning a child, praying for a family and huddling to support and comfort one another.

At 11:39 this morning at Justice Sonia Sotomayor Community School, a 12-year-old 6th grader was choking and became unresponsive. Emergency Responders attempted to resuscitate the boy and transported him to Saint Joseph’s Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

As police investigate the nature of the medical emergency, we remain focused on caring for his classmates, teachers and staff who are in terrible pain. The District has grief counselors on hand who can provide a safe space during this unbearable time.

I ask all of you in the Yonkers Public Schools to rally together. One of our families needs us. Please keep them in your prayers.
