Clayton PTA - General PTA Information

WHAT IS THE PTA?
"PTA" stands for Parent-Teacher Association, a non-profit organization made up of parents and teachers that exists on the school, local, state and national levels. The purpose of PTA is to partner educators and families together with the unified goal of raising socially and academically strong students. PTA is an arena to discuss school and student needs and then set out together with staff how to address those needs. A PTA's success is based on the strength and dedication of its volunteers and members.

WHAT ARE THE GOALS OF THE CLAYTON PTA?
The Clayton PTA operates under the general goals and purposes of the National PTA (see above). Specifically at Clayton though, we strive to provide our children with the best education possible. We can and do this in a number of ways: supplementing materials and equipment that the district does not provide (classroom, school-wide, property), informing and educating parents about legistative news and parenting issues, encouraging participation and involvement at school (family events, programs, meetings, volunteering). As a new school and a quickly growing school, Clayton has many needs and challenges. The PTA is here to support the school administration and implement Clayton PTA Membership's priorities. If you have a question regarding what the PTA does or is doing, please don't hesitate to contact Vicki Muras, the 09-10 PTA President, at president@claytoncardinals.org.
