PS/IS 48
About The PTA
The PTA is a committee of Parents and Teachers of PS/IS 48. The “PTA” stands for Parent-Teacher Association. We support the school with fundraising and plan social events for the students. We always incorporate parental input & try to increase communication. Every parent and staff member is an automatic member of the PTA. The amount of time that you give is completely voluntary.
Joining the PTA is a great way to become more active in your child’s education. It has been stated when parents assume an active role in their children's education, their children are more successful in school. The PTA’s main focus is to raise money to assist the school with programs and events for the students and to provide viewpoints to support the school environment. Some of our functions include organizing and promoting school-wide fundraisers to help financially support our schools needs. We are also involved in planning social events and celebrations for the entire school community. We try to bring together parents and educators to discuss how they can work together to continually improve our school.
The elected parent members (Officers) are to serve on the Executive Board for 1 year. Attendance at the monthly PTA meetings and Executive Board meetings is also required. We hope some of you will give it a try!
We look forward to working with you this year!
