Parent-Teacher Association
The Parent-Teacher Association is a bridge between the school staff and the school families whose purpose is to help create a warm, welcoming, and cooperative school environment; often through fundraising and school community events.
The PTA meets from 6:30-7:30pm, in the school library. Please see the online school calendar for the next meeting!

Volunteer opportunities through the PTA can help you:
Build Your Child's Tomorrow ~ A large factor in student success is an environment of active and engaged families, educators and communities.
Grow Your Skills ~ By volunteering with the PTA, you gain valuable experiences. It's an opportunity to put your skills and hobbies to good use for a good cause—your child and all children of our community.
Get Connected ~ There's no better way to know what's happening in our school than being a part of a great volunteer committee.
