At each general PTSA meeting, we discuss recent and upcoming school initiatives, events, and activities, share our PTSA budget, and provide updates from our school admin. We do NOT record meetings, so please attend them and read slide decks to stay in the loop.

We are stronger together ~ the more of us who participate, the bigger the impact we have within our school community. Let’s do this, Jaguars!
