About Us

WHO WE ARE

The PTA, or Parent Teacher Association, is an organization of families, teachers and staff dedicated to supporting our students, staff and families. The PTA sponsors a variety of activities and initiatives throughout the year.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to support and foster the academic success and social-emotional well-being of every student and family at our school. 

WHAT WE DO

Our PTA supports a variety of events and ongoing initiatives. We:

• Support our school, teachers and staff through grants for teachers; Teacher & Staff Appreciation initiatives; and financial support for our School Garden & Outdoor Classroom.

• Build community among students and families by organizing social events such as Picnic on the Terrace and Movie Night, and the Ocelot Trot.

• Promote a love of reading through our annual Book Fair, Spring Reading Festival and Read-a-thon.

• Support families in need by providing support in a variety of ways, including scholarships for students to participate in after-school activities. 

• Promote diversity, equity and inclusion at our school through on-going DEI-initiatives, our year-long Celebration of Cultures, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service events.

• Engage in advocacy at the school and county level related to student well being, instruction and student outcomes, and diversity and equity, among other topics. 

• Appreciate and encourage the strengths of students and families that identify as having a disability and/or who are neurodiverse at our school while supporting and fostering their well-being and academic success.
