PTA Membership: 
• Our meetings are held on the 2nd Thursday of each month at 7 pm in the school library.
• Become a member of your school PTA! A membership is an easy way to support your school. It gives you access to an online directory of students, provides another way of communication and, most of all, helps to provide more for your student.  Nothing is required but your  membership fee and a few pieces of information. We love  volunteers, but it's not required once you are a member.  
• You can easily use our online site, rvespta.ptboard.com, to register. Please also check out  PTBoard for additional information about PTA activities.
