How M.S. 61 is governed, funded, and communicating with families.
Who shapes the school’s plan?
M.S. 061 Dr. Gladstone H. Atwell is a New York City Public Schools middle school in District 17. NYCPS makes system-level funding and policy decisions. At the school level, the published School Leadership Team roster brings together the principal, staff, parents, and a community-based organization representative for ten scheduled 2025-26 meetings.
Governing system
The school is part of New York City Public Schools and is identified as 17K061.
School leadership team
The school’s SLT page schedules monthly meetings from September 2025 through June 2026, held by Google Meet.
Family connection
The Parent Association says it supports school staff, students, and families through communication, belonging, and collaboration.
The public site establishes the current SLT schedule and roster, but it does not link current SLT agendas, minutes, or a dated principal-letter archive, so this record does not establish what the team decided.
