Purpose of the PTA

  • To promote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, community, and place of worship.

  • To develop between educators and the general public such united efforts as will secure for all children and youth the highest advantages in physical, mental, social, and spiritual education.
  • The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is committed to increasing parental involvement in support of Fox Elementary faculty, staff, and students. Research indicates parent support helps to provide the best learning environment possible for students to be academically successful. And we think that's important.

Meetings

PTA meetings are held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Child care is provided for ages 3 years and up. Children must be potty trained.
