About the PTA
The Rosa Parks PTA would like to welcome you to Rosa Parks School . We are a private, non-profit organization of parents, teachers, students, and community members who are concerned with the education, health, and welfare of children. We are associated with the Berkeley PTA, California state PTA and the national PTA.
The mission of the PTA is :
• to support and speak on behalf of children and youth in the schools, in the community, and before governmental bodies and other organizations that make decisions affecting children;
• to assist parents in developing the skills they need to raise and protect their children;
• to encourage parental and public involvement in the public schools.
Last year, the Rosa Parks PTA helped plan, organize & fundraise for family nights, including parent education workshops. We sponsored the Winter Fair, the book fair, and the Ice Cream Social. The PTA also provided grants to teachers for classroom materials and trips, scholarships for students, after-school classes, a school directory, newsletters, and financial assistance for many other programs.
In addition, the PTA goals for this year are:
• to strengthen the home/school/PTA relationship through increased communication and education;
• to welcome participation of all families;
• to provide some of the funding for KidsVillage Afterschool Program and for the Playground Activities Coordinator .
Please join the PTA and be a valuable resource for our children. Dues are $10.00 per person and are voluntary. The dues go to Rosa Parks PTA, Berkeley PTA Council, and State and National PTA for services and resources. The PTA needs volunteers to help organize and participate in the many events and programs we sponsor for the Rosa Parks Community. If you are looking for a way to become involved in this community, please come to a PTA meeting, or call 333-5491.
Thank you!
