PTA Board

When are PTA meetings held?

For the 24-25 school year, we are holding PTA meetings on different nights each month to allow more families to participate over the course of the year.  We have hybrid meetings, so that people can attend in-person in the GES media cetner or via zoom. 

When can I join the PTA?

You can join the PTA at any time during the year.
