The PTA is an organization for our community run by our community. As an organization, PTA activities are coordinated largely by PS 8 parents who decide to help PS 8 by volunteering their time to serve on the PTA Executive Board.
Executive Board positions are the only PTA roles that involve elections. Parents who would like to volunteer in this way nominate themselves when the elections come along.
While the PTA is run by the Executive Board, every parent is welcome to attend and participate fully in virtually all Executive Board meetings, and nearly every action by the PTA Executive Board involves consultation and information sharing with parents and guardians at the PTA General Meetings. We want to make sure there are ample ways for every parent to discuss things with the board members and help collaborate on big decisions. To that end, although there don’t need to be more than four General Meetings per year in public schools, we hold them every month at PS 8.
