Meet the 2026-27 Executive Board
Dear Ralston Families, Staff and Teachers,
Each year, our PTA looks for new ways to create positive experiences and contribute to the success of ALL of our students. Engaged staff, parents, and students working together have a tremendous impact on our children's educational experience. Research shows that parent involvement makes a positive difference in a child's education, affecting his/her behavior, motivation, and school engagement.
Communication
The Ralston PTA posts regular updates via ParentSquare, and some updates on Facebook.
You may also consider joining the parent WhatsApp community. Learn more here.
The executive board is your PTA’s administrative body and is intended to bridge the school with the general parent population. Meet your board here.
The Ralston PTA supports several activities with a special interest in supporting the student-parent-staff intersection. For students, the PTA facilitates the science fair, a business fair, and several others. For parents, the PTA offers a WhatsApp Group to connect, volunteering opportunities, and PTA-parent events. Finally, the PTA plays a vital role in sharing the broader community concerns with the Ralston administration.
Becoming a PTA member is the easiest way to get involved and support Ralston. When you make a donation to SchoolForce, part of your donation goes towards the annual PTA dues, making you an automatic voting member of the PTA.
There are an incredible number of clubs, assemblies, competitions, and other community-building activities at Ralston. Each year, hundreds of Ralston parents volunteer thousands of hours to make all of these wonderful events successful.
If you would like to learn more about the different ways to volunteer, please fill out this volunteering form.
Also, just a friendly reminder that you need BRSSD volunteering clearance to volunteer at Ralston. This needs to be done every year. Getting volunteering clearance is easy - Level 1 and Level 2 clearance (which covers nearly all volunteering activities) can be done online here.
When you volunteer for the Ralston PTA, please log your volunteering hours! The Ralston PTA is a non-profit organization, so we need to track all volunteering hours for tax purposes. You can log your volunteering hours by filling out this simple form.
