The PTSA helps facilitate family involvement through its many programs and activities. It is our stated mission to work to enhance the learning environment of every student  a mission we take very seriously. Our programs fall into three main categories; curriculum/classroom support, community building and health and safety.

Classroom and curriculum support are vital to our mission.  To this end, PTSA programs support math, science, art, music, library, outdoor education, and educative assemblies as well as teacher stipends and staff appreciation events.

Research indicates that students do better in the classroom when there is a strong sense of school community.  To support this, the PTSA sponsors social and family events, such as Craft Fair, Family Dance Night, and numerous before and after school enrichment programs to build a shared sense of belonging.

Students must feel safe and well in order to learn.  To promote health and safety, the PTSA provides health screenings, third grade swim class, parent education opportunities, emergency preparedness supplies, herbicide free school grounds and numerous programs focused on the well-being of our students.
