Our Mission
United Parent Teacher Council (“UPTC”) offers parents of the Great Neck Public School District the opportunity to work with teachers and school administration on issues affecting the education and welfare of their students. The UPTC serves as a coordinating body for all of the PTAs in order to identify common interests and achieve shared goals.
In November 1943 the UPTC was established by elected delegates of Great Neck's parent-teacher associations. They believed that regular meetings of PTA representatives and the Superintendent of Schools could benefit the PTAs, the school system itself and, more importantly, the education of children in the community. According to its Bylaws, UPTC aims "to provide a medium through which the thinking of representative members of the parent-teacher association of each school and of Special Education, of school administration and teachers may be brought to bear on Great Neck public school issues..."
UPTC has served as a clearinghouse for important and useful educational ideas, as a coordinating body for joint PTA action, and as a stimulus to local PTO and general community activities in the interests of better education.
