Parent
Teacher Association The Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) is a
non-profit service organization devoted to the improvement and enhancement of
Key School. All Key School parents
are welcome to participate in the activities of the PTA and encouraged to
bring their talents and ideas to the PTA.
Dues comprise a critical part of the PTA budget. The suggested dues contribution is $100
per family plus $75 per child enrolled.
The PTA requires, however, a minimum dues contribution of $5 to be
a voting member. The PTA works actively to keep all parents
informed of school-related issues and to help parents raise their concerns to
school staff. Through membership dues, an annual spring auction and other
fundraising activities the PTA raises funds for a wide range of purposes
including the purchase of classroom supplies, improvements to school building
and grounds, and payment of salaries for supplemental staff. It also
organizes community-building extracurricular events for families and students
such as picnics, a harvest festival, science fair, World Family Day and book
fair. Key School PTA officers are elected for
two-year terms. The PTA Executive Board meetings, which are open to all
parents, are held monthly; the PTA general meetings are held four times a
year to give all parents a chance to participate in decision-making. Parents are encouraged to take advantage of Key's many volunteer
opportunities, including helping in classrooms and the library. Information
regarding the numerous PTA committees and volunteer opportunities is distributed
before the school year starts and continuously throughout the year. Any parent who has the time and
inclination can easily find a way to participate. PTA Check/Reimbursement Request Form Volunteer Opportunities and Volunteer Form |
