    Board Members

    Parkside is lucky to have an active Parent Teacher Association. Our main role is to build strong working relationships between parents and teachers in support of our students. Last year, we raised a significant amount of money for Parkside through our Fall Festival, monthly bake sales, annual Parkside Stride 5K Fun Run, book fairs, and other fundraisers. We use these funds to support great projects, like this year’s school supply purchase and general teacher needs.

    We need you to be involved! All PTA meeting dates will be announced through school newsletters and on our Facebook parent group. The first meeting will be held on Thursday, August 26. We hope to have an in-person and zoom option to join the meeting. Find out how you can get involved, including joining one of our committees and becoming a room parent.

    PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION
     
    Every Atlanta Public School has a Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) whose goal is to bring together the interests of the parents and the school to support student achievement. PTAs normally meet once a month. Through PTA initiatives and activities, parents work with the faculty to enhance the school environment and improve student achievement.

    WHAT DOES THE PTA DO?
    • Supports and organizes schoolwide events 
    • Provides a forum to discuss issues of importance to parents and teachers
    • Provides the volunteers and the organization needed to support school projects
    • Conducts fundraising for school activities
    • Assists with special school projects development, landscaping, or community outreach


    HOW DO I JOIN THE PTA?

    The PTA membership drive begins a few weeks after the new school year starts. Sign up and purchase your PTA membership here. (Link to this - https://parkside.memberhub.com/store).
