Join Our Garfield PTA!
The Parent-Teacher Organization (PTA) is a group of parents, teachers, aunts, uncles, grandparents, community members, et cetera that come together to bring enriching experiences to the students at our school.
Being a part of the PTA does not require you to make any more commitments than you're able to make and can range from just being a member, to attending meetings and sharing ideas, taking on a project like the yearbook or teacher appreciation, chairing a committee, or being a board member. Whatever you are able to do to help us support our students is enthusiastically welcomed! Please see below for meeting information and helpful QR codes to stay informed. We hope to see you soon!
