How can I be involved in my Child's Education?
Research has shown that parent and family involvement is correlated with student success, improved teacher morale and a good school reputation.National PTA has identified six standards for parent and family involvement programs in schools. Your involvement in these areas can help your child succeed and can improve education for all children.
- Communicating
Communication between home and school is regular, two-way, and meaningful. - Parenting
Parenting skills are promoted and supported. - Student Learning
Parents play an integral role in assisting student learning. - Volunteering
Parents are welcome in the school, and their support and assistance are sought. - School Decision Making and Advocacy

How do I Volunteer?
Events, Programs Services: Our many PTA events and activities are only made possible with the help of our parent/family volunteers. Chair coordinators oversee our Family Fun and Social Events as well as the many Programs on campus. We also have leads to coordinate the invaluable school services of Room Parent, Yard/Lunch Duty and Copy Room volunteers.
My Child's Classroom: At Back to School Night, your teacher will have sign-ups for classroom specific jobs like math centers, literacy stations, library help and field trip drivers.
Planning: PTA association meetings are also great venues to volunteer your time by contributing your ideas. PTA members get the opportunity to speak their voice and have their vote counted as we conduct business that affects our school. Please come meet other parents that share the same vision and goals for your children.
