PTA Values & Bylaws

Our PTA mission is to promote the welfare of students and our school community; and to support the collaboration of teachers, parents, and staff to create a more successful, inclusive, equitable, and nurturing school environment for all. We run on the hard work of a few dedicated volunteers, so please get involved where you can!

Our PTA Values

Collaboration

We work in partnership with a wide array of individuals and organizations to accomplish our agreed-upon goals.

Commitment

We are dedicated to promoting childrens' health, well-being and educational success through strong parent, family and community involvement.

Accountability

We acknowledge our obligations.  We deliver on our promises.

Respect

We value our colleagues and ourselves. We expect the same high quality of effort and thought from ourselves as we do from others.

Inclusivity

We invite the stranger and welcome the newcomer.  We value and seek input from as wide a spectrum of viewpoints and experiences as possible.

Integrity

We act consistently with our beliefs. When we err, we acknowledge the mistake and seek to make amends.
