Pennridge Parent-Teacher
Groups |

Parent-Teacher Groups
in the Pennridge School District provide an important
source of support for students and teachers through their
volunteer efforts in the classroom, at fund-raising events,
as special activities coordinators and as a communication
network within each school and among all the schools
in the district.
Although their goals are similar as they all work to make their school a better
place for students and staff the titles of each school's group vary- |
Parent-Teacher Association (PTA)
Parent-Teacher Group (PTG)
Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO)
Parents and Teachers United (PTU)
Home and School Association (HSA)

What
Do Fund-Raisers Pay For? |
Fund-raising
activities play a major role in helping to finance many
non-budgeted educational and enrichment activities such
as: |
School
Assemblies
Field trips
Individual classroom activities, books and materials
Computer equipment and software
Library books and materials
Playground equipment and improvements
Campus beautification
School-wide special activities-Field Day, Career Day, School Theme |
|
|
Volunteer
Opportunities |
The day-to-day
activities of the school depend heavily on the willing
volunteers who spend time in the cafeteria, the school
office, the library, on the playground, and in the classrooms
assisting teachers and staff members with the daily work
load. |
|
Family
Activities |
Many
groups also sponsor after-school family activities including: |
Craft
nights
Square dancing
Bingo nights
Special reading, science or math activities
Game nights |
|
The parent-teacher
groups also play a part in keeping in touch with the
needs of the community, often providing assistance and
relief for families and individuals in need through special
donations and contributions. Many schools sponsor Holiday
Gift Shops which allow students to purchase family gifts
and the proceeds are donated to a worthwhile cause.
To become involved
in your school's parent-teacher group, check these
pages of the district calendar
for a list of officers at each school and look
for meeting
dates in the calendar grids. Contact your school parent-teacher officers
for more information. |
