SWANSFIELD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PTA

PTA AND VOLUNTEER WEBSITE

Swansfield Elementary School Parent-Teacher Association

Welcome to another great school year 2011-2012! Your PTA is here to build a bridge between home and school, integrating the efforts of parents with those of Principals and Teachers. When you get involved in PTA, the child who benefits the most is your own. You're also taking a major step toward improving our children's school, our community, our state, national education and health policies. Our PTA is an integral part of the Swansfield community and works with the administration and staff to offer many activities and programs to our families.  We have a strong involvement with our parent volunteers that make PTA sponsored activities possible. We look forward to hearing from you. Please email me at ptapresident@swansfieldpta.org


Our PTA membership costs are:  $6.00 per person. Membership is year-round.


Our Executive Board consists of officers, administrative representatives, standing committee chairpersons, and special committee chairpersons. The officers are nominated and elected each year in May.


Vote on SES PTA Bylaws – Friday June 1st at 7:00pm


The bylaws are the fundamental rules of our PTA. Bylaws are updated every 3 years. This year it is up for revision and is due back by June 4th. We have posted the proposed bylaws HERE, outlining the changes from the last revision, and we need your vote on June 1st. Please plan on attending this final PTA meeting for the year as we will approve our bylaws and wrap-up the school year as a PTA with end of year lessons learned and look forward to next year 2012-2013. We are looking forward to seeing you!
