Our General Meetings are open to any member of the community who supports Serrano Intermediate Students, Staff, and Families. The mission of the Serrano "Parent Teacher Student Association" is to support the educational enrichment and well-being of our Students, Families, and the local Community.
The MOST VALUABLE way to help our PTSA is to attend our meetings and learn about how we operate and pass our budgets, calendars, and reports.
Students can be members of our PTSA and participate in our meetings.
