PTA Positions for 2023-2024
What Does the PTA Board Do?
The PTA Board is responsible for engaging with the school community, planning activities, creating educational environment opportunities for students, families, and teachers, and fundraise to provide support for our school.
What is the Time Commitment?
The PTA Board meets once a month and participation is strongly encouraged. Volunteer time for the different roles and activities vary and is completely dependent on individual’s availabilities. Some commitments are concentrated while some are spread out throughout the year.
Is Experience Necessary?
No experience is necessary at all! You will be in contact with past and/or current board members who can and will provide as much support and insight for each role as needed. There is also free training and support from the Fremont Council PTA, Peralta District PTA, and California PTA. There is a lot of knowledge and experience on the to draw from.
What if I Don't See Any Positions that Speaks to My Talent/Interest[s]?
There is always room to grow! Chair positions are not set in stone so if you have a different interest or talent you would like to share with the school community, but it's not listed below, please reach out to the Parliamentarian or President and let them know how you can help in your own unique way!
