Greetings Bearcats! My name is Madeline Torres Ocasio and my native language is Spanish. I am passionate about working with students and their families. For the last two decades, I have been fortunate to be part of the York City School District and its community. My mission is to restore communication between the school district and our community by informing parents and asking for feedback about the school policies and offering parents numerous workshops and chats about topics of their interest. I believe that family involvement in our schools is an essential practice to help students reach their academic goals. I am here to listen to your deas, help you with your concerns, as well as guide you if you wish to become a school parent liaison at your child's (children's) school(s). Also, to assist parents in navigating the new technologies, please contact me via email or at (717) 819-2593 if you need assistance. I look forward to working with you all year.
