PTSA
The Parent Teacher Student Association is an
organization dedicated to creating the most productive environment
for students, teachers and parents with the common goal of a
quality education for our children. Please visit our links
for more information about the organization.
The Mission of the PTSA is threefold:
- To support and speak on behalf
of children and youth in the schools, in the community, and
before government bodies and other organizations that make
decisions affecting children;
- To assist parents in developing
the skills they need to raise and protect their children; and
- To encourage parent and public
involvement in the public schools of this nation.
