Family Resources

At the bottom of this page you can download a staff contact list.  We encourage families to communicate directly with teachers and administrators, we are your partners.  Please contact Launch staff during business hours and allow for 24 hours to hear a reply from that staff member. 

In the Alma parent portal parents can see their child’s attendance record and grades in real time.  If you would like the login information for your Alma account, please contact our Operations Manager, Jasmine Cardona (JCardona@launchschool.org) or (718) 715-0547).

The Launch PA works together with administration, staff and students to enrich the Launch community.  They help ensure that families are informed, involved and empowered.  The goal of the PA is to encourage and support participation in school events, and positively impact school culture and advocate for the school.  Parents set an example for their children to embrace their role as productive citizens by becoming stakeholders in their school and community.  The Launch PA meets monthly and also hosts parent circles, which are more informal, safe spaces for parents to connect and share resources in community.  For more information about the Parent Association, contact Ms. Sheryl Davis at sdavis@launchschool.org.
