Why should I join the PTA?
Being a member means that you are partnering with other parents and teachers to enrich the school community and enable student success.
Does a PTA Membership require volunteering and attending meetings?
The only thing required of a PTA membership is to pay the annual $10 dues. Beyond that, however you choose to engage in PTA (ie. attend meetings, volunteer at classroom parties and events) is up to you!
Where does my money go?
PTA dues help fund field trips, EL t-shirts and lanyards for all students, staff appreciation events, classroom resources, and fund PTA community enrichment events such as Bike Night and Popsicles in the Park.
OUR EAGLES SOAR HIGHER WITH YOUR SUPPORT! WE NEED YOU! JOIN TODAY!
Student ID Badges & Lanyards
Families our Eagles are given a black, breakaway lanyard from the district for their ID badges. IF you choose to have your student wear or personalize with their own lanyard, the lanyard MUST be a breakaway style.
The lanyards MUST also be free of pins, keychains, keys and extras. We have had students lose items as well as get hit or hurt with any extra things on the lanyards. We ask for the lanyard to be breakaway to avoid any issues if pulled or caught on something during the day.
