Welcome to the NEST+m PTA!

Every parent or guardian of a NEST+m student as well as every teacher at NEST+m is automatically a member of the NEST+m PTA. We are one PTA for the entire school (K–12). Our goal is to create and maintain a welcoming and supportive community for all NEST+m families and faculty and to support the administration and faculty in their efforts to provide outstanding curricular and enrichment programs to all NEST+m students.

The school day is 8:30am - 2:50pm.

You Can Make A Difference

Each and every one of us can make a difference. Our collective participation enables the dynamic NEST+m community to continue to thrive. Every dollar we donate goes toward enriching our children’s education, and every hour we volunteer our time or services at an event, in the PTA office, or behind the scenes, ensures that our kids experience the excellent programs, resources, and enrichment for which NEST+m is recognized. Donations to the General Fund campaign continue to be the best way to directly benefit students at NEST+m.

Thank you for your support,

The NEST+m PTA
