Albany Booster Club and Parent-Teacher Associations

Albany Booster Club

The purpose of the Albany Booster Club (ABC) is to provide financial assistance and support to all extracurricular activities associated with the City School District of Albany. ABC seeks out volunteers throughout the school year to assist in various fundraising events.

The majority of our funds are raised through athletic concession stands and 50/50 raffles. ABC is totally dependent upon parent, student and staff involvement and is looking for new members/volunteers.

Please visit the ABC website or download the 2012-13 ABC brochure. You also can download the 2012-13 funding-request form.

Parent-Teacher Associations
The City School District of Albany's Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) provide many opportunities for interested parents and teachers to exchange information and opinions about all sorts of educational and school-related issues.

These organizations sponsor programs and events throughout the year, including assemblies, cultural programs, holiday events, after-school enrichment activities, reading programs and recreational activities.

Research shows that strong home-school partnerships lead to better academic success. To get involved, contact your child's school or PTA president.

A full listing of school PTA presidents and contact information can be found below.
