Welcome to the Georgia Early Childhood(EC), Elementary & Middle School(GEMS) Parent Teacher Association (PTA). The PTA is a group of parents and teachers who work together during the school year to raise money for special programs, activities, and equipment for our school. The things that the PTA is able to provide for the benefit of our students go above and beyond what the standard curriculum and budget can provide. Thank you for visiting!

We want to develop a community where new births are celebrated and children continue to be celebrated throughout their lives. We want to be a community resource within the school where parents of children of all ages can find out what's going on, how to get involved and where to find the resources they need. We want to be the gateway to establishing strong relationships between the school and community, beginning at birth and continuing through life. We want to develop a network where children have the opportunity to meet, play and develop with other children and where parents have the opportunity to interact, establish relationships and gain support from other parents.
