PTN stands for Parent Teacher Network. It is comprised of the parents & teachers of the children attending our school.
|
|
|
|
The purpose of the group is to provide a community of parent volunteers who support the work of teachers and staff in the following areas: educational programs, enrichment activities, and fund-raising to support enrichment programs for the school community. The Parent Teacher Groups also support teachers & administrators in their efforts to provide the best services possible for our children.

The EDUPRIZE program is run by committees. Volunteers for positions on committees are recruited via newsletter requests as well as by a yearly Family Registration Form. Communication is done by weekly newsletter & regular e-mails by the PTN President who also helps to facilitate the EDUPRIZE Parent Group Programs.

A yearly survey is conducted to determine where the teachers and parents would like to see the funds dispersed. Large items for improvement of the campus are prioritized on a Wish List and purchased when funding allows.

The best way to support the PTN is to take advantage of the many volunteer opportunities that we have to offer. While it is extremely important to volunteer in the classroom, we also need volunteers on our school-wide committees for our group to be successful. Look for volunteer opportunities to be published in the newsletter.
