About

What is the goal of the Gibbs PTA?

We want to build an inclusive community where parents, teachers, and administration collaborate to meet the needs of Gibbs students.

Why is the PTA important to my child’s education?

The Gibbs PTA provides educational experiences for your child and supports the Gibbs Elementary teachers with valuable resources for the classroom. The PTA serves as the fundraising mechanism that provides additional resources not available through the Rochester School District Budget.

How is the PTA different from VIE?

Both the PTA and Volunteers in Education (VIE) are important and represent parent involvement and volunteering in the school. However, VIE is a community-based program. Community members are allowed to volunteer in the school, but only parents and teachers are allowed to join the PTA. We need members to join the PTA, attend meetings, and volunteer for school events available to all students.
