Making a difference: PTA
The purpose of a PTA (Parent-Teacher Association) is to foster collaboration and communication between parents, teachers and school staff to support students' education and well-being. PTAs work to:
- Promote parent involvement in the school community
- Support and enhance the educational experience for students
- Organize events, fundraisers and activities that benefit the school
- Advocate for school needs and improvements
- Build a strong partnership between families and educators to create a positive learning environment
Your feedback is important to us. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey so we can make our PTA meetings more effective, engaging and valuable for everyone.
Additionally, your involvement makes a big difference in supporting our school and students. Please join us in these fundraisers to help provide valuable resources and programs. Learn more.
Support our fifth grade
Each year the PTA supports the end-of-year activities for our fifth-graders. We need the support of families in grades prek-4 that are willing to pay it forward. This allows fifth grade parents to enjoy the events with their student. Please consider helping and click on the link.
