Join the PTA for the 2025-2026 School Year!
We are looking for parents who are interested in becoming a part of the PTA next school year. We have several open positions that allow you to be as involved as you’d like in your child’s school. Whether you want to volunteer for specific events or take on a leadership role, there’s an opportunity for everyone.
Throughout the year, we host a variety of activities and events, and being part of the PTA gives you the chance to make a meaningful impact on our students and teachers.
We have both Chair positions, where you can oversee and take charge of specific activities or responsibilities, and Committee Member positions, which allow you to work collaboratively with others under the guidance of a Chair.
We welcome all levels of involvement, so whether you can give a little time or a lot, your contribution will make a difference!
To apply for a position to become a Chair, Committee Member or General PTA Volunteer, please complete the online form HERE. Responses will CLOSE May 9, 2025.
Box Tops Stats: Ms. Larsons class is currently leading the pack with 168 box tops. Ms Platt’s class is in second place. Keep scanning those receipts!
