Welcome!
PTA is a great way to be involved in the school and your child's education, keep up with current events, and it's also a lot of fun! We would love to meet you and its a good opportunity to get to know some other caregivers. Bring your fresh ideas, talents, and time to help the kids of Deerfield Elementary! No dues, initiation, or other rigmarole – just join in where you want to. There’s something for everyone! Please explore the site to learn more about us, and to find opportunities to volunteer
