Hello
Rose Hill Community. My name is Kara Jenkins, and I am your PTA
President. I get a lot of questions asking what the PTA is and why should
people join. Please read below for some good information about who we are
and why you want to be part of our group.
What is the PTA?
The Rose Hill Parent Teacher
Association (PTA) is a group of parents, families, teachers, and staff that
work together for the benefit of our school. By simply joining the Rose
Hill PTA you are advocating on behalf of all children (including your
own). No additional commitment is required and there is no pressure to
volunteer. We do send out general volunteer requests, but it is okay to
say “no”.
Why should I join the PTA?
1. It’s good for your child.
Research shows that children whose parents are involved in their school
make better grades and have fewer disciplinary problems at school. When
parents get plugged in at school, their children do better.
2. You’ll get connected.
There’s no better way to know what’s going on in the school than to be on the
school’s parent teacher group. You’ll be first to hear about important
decisions and changes the school is thinking about making, and you will get to
know teachers and administrators on a familiar basis.
3. You’ll be part of a network.
Every parent group function is an opportunity to meet other parents in the same
situation as you. You will be connected with a group of parents who share
a common goal of improving the school for the children.
4. It’s important to the school.
Schools are becoming more and more dependent on parent groups. The parent
groups are responsible for the majority of the school’s fundraising revenue.
They provide support to teachers and administrators, and they create a caring
and supportive atmosphere in the school.
5. It’s fun!
You’ll connect with a group of people who are all concerned with creating a
better environment for their children. You will help plan fun events,
socials, and get-togethers that the whole family can attend.
Interested in joining?
Paper membership forms were included in your child’s back to school packet and
another copy will be sent home this week. Feel free to fill one out and
send back in your child’s Parent-Teacher Communicator Folder.
Alternatively, sign up from the comfort of your home by visiting our website at
https://rosehillelementaryschool.ptboard.com/formvw/store?store=709
Please come to our first PTA
meeting on September 11 at 6:00 for a chance to see what we are all about and
an opportunity to meet our new principal.
I look forward to seeing you
soon!
Kara J
