Heather's PTA is a 501(c)(3) associated with California State PTA (CAPTA). In common with the California PTA and National PTA, our association works to promote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, places of worship, and throughout the community; to raise the standards of home life; to advocate for laws that further the education, physical and mental health, welfare, and safety of children and youth; to promote the collaboration and engagement of families and educators in the education of children and youth; to engage the public in united efforts to secure the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social well-being of all children and youth; and to advocate for fiscal responsibility regarding public tax dollars in public education funding.
Next PTA Meeting: Sep 8, 7 PM, MUR & Zoom
PTA Membership: Join our Heather community by signing up for your PTA membership! Your membership includes membership in the State PTA as well as National PTA, and your dues support our school.
Support SCEF: The majority of our PTA budget comes from a grant every year from your donations to the San Carlos Education Foundation (SCEF). Donations to SCEF bridge the gap between state funding and funding needed to support programs like music in our schools, PE and athletic enrichment, counselors, and librarians in each school.
eScrip: Sign up for eScrip, and support our PTA while you buy groceries!
The Reading Bug: Mention Heather School when you check out to donate your rewards points to the school library.
