Emmet D. Williams Parent Teacher Association (EDW PTA) is a volunteer organization in Roseville, Minnesota. Our community members work together to support our students; promoting a strong and engaged school community.
As a chapter of National PTA we firmly believe in the mission and values of the PTA, especially in building a more diverse, equitable and inclusive PTA:
National PTA represents parents, caregivers, educators and communities of all children, which enables us to best achieve PTA’s mission to make every child’s potential a reality. Our collective backgrounds, perspectives and ideas allow us to create the strongest future and direction for PTA.

Support EDW in celebrating our community's rich cultural heritage! We're supporting a new venture to integrate cultural heritage months into specialist classes, providing hands-on experiences for every student. We're seeking sponsorships from local businesses for each month to help cover costs for guest presenters, materials, and events. Own a business, or know one that would be interested?
The PTA plays an important role in fostering strong working relationships among families, teachers, and the school to support student success. This includes recruiting and coordinating volunteers, organizing parent education events, planning teacher appreciation activities and much more. Additionally, the PTA is responsible for community building and fundraising efforts to provide resources to offer students more opportunities.
Meetings are typically held quarterly . The beginning of each meeting includes our school Town Hall with updates and discussions from our principal, teachers, and staff. Often experts from various education and service areas will present important topics as part of our meetings. You do not need to be a member to attend a meeting but only EDW PTA members have voting rights.
