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 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. .
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. .
