GENERAL MEETINGS

PTA General Meetings are held monthly (except December); meetings are open to all and are an excellent way to keep up with what’s happening at school. While we strive to communicate all critical information through emails, flyers, and the pages of this website, there is no way for us to replicate the benefit of in-person participation at PTA meetings. In order to have an ongoing and productive dialogue with our members, we need your in-person participation at our general meetings. We have scheduled a combination of morning and evening meetings (babysitting is offered at some meetings), in order to accommodate as many schedules as possible. If a parent has a specific issue that he or she would like discussed at a General Meeting, please inform the PTA Co-Presidents or Secretary before the meeting so that the issue may be placed on the agenda.

PTA BUDGET

Each June, before the last PTA meeting of the academic year, the PTA Executive Board reviews the expenses of the previous school year, determines the anticipated expenses of the upcoming school year, and gets input from the Principal about upcoming expenses. The Principal asks the PTA to supplement costs that are not covered in the allotment given to the school by the Department of Education. Once approved by the Executive Board, the budget is presented to the general membership at the last general PTA meeting of the school year. A majority of those attending must approve the budget. Once the budget is approved, parents have made a commitment to raising the funds, whether by personal donations or fund-raising initiatives.
