Important Information about PTA membership and the Directory

Each year, the PTA produces a student directory with information about the children in each class, teacher information, and family contact information. This directory is distributed free of charge to all PTA members. It will not be distributed or sold to organizations or non-members.

NEW THIS YEAR! CESPTA will be producing the directory from data you enter when you go complete your Family File (Emergency Cards) for the school. Please make sure to check to ALLOW the information to be included in the PTA Directory! We hope to have a much more complete directory this year since EVERYONE must complete the Family File.

Access the family file here

This is the best way for other parents in your child’s class to get in touch with you! You do not have to join the PTA to be included in the directory. However, joining the PTA is the ONLY way to get this information on your child’s classmates!

Chairpersons Needed for Upcoming School Year

Our PTA sponsors several fun events as well as educational programs at our school every year.  In order to keep these events and programs going, we need volunteer help.

We are looking for people to chair the events/programs listed below, as well as fill Committee Head positions for certain events.

Please take a moment to look at what is listed here and consider becoming a Chairperson or Committee Head for one (or more), of these events/programs.  We have very detailed notes and instructions for you to follow if you choose to chair an event/program, and Event Coordinator who will work with you, so it is really quite easy to put together one of these programs/events!

Volunteers Needed

  • Spring Fling– Do not be intimidated by this. We will make it so that several people will be in charge of a sub-section of work.
  • Fundraising
  • International Night

Jump in and take your spot on the planning committees! Use our contact form below and let us know what you are interested in.
