Rachel Carson MS PTA Mission Statement

Our mission is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering our school families and communities to advocate for all children.


We need you to Join PTA Today!

Would you like to be a part of the RCMS PTA Family? Members and volunteers are needed. The Carson PTA is sponsoring school events in support and gratitude for our educators and families with 2 major fundraisers to support our mission statement in support of our students. Parents, please join the PTA fun and participate in our "Name that Tune" contest. Congratulations to parent winners, Leah and Joanna for winning a $15 and $10 gift card, respectively, to Starbucks! 


As we plan for some exciting family events, we ask that you tell a friend and ask them to please join at https://rcmspta.memberhub.com/store.  Our ultimate goal is to get 100% participation from our RCMS families.  We are currently at 9.2% participation. Our last push is in November in the month of gratitude as we continue to grow our community in support of the school and our students.


Next General RCMS PTA meeting: November 17, 6:30pm-7:30pm in the RCMS Library or virtual. Join us in person and meet other families.

For Parents: EduAvenues Neil Kothari, an RCMS Alum as well as TJHSST Alum, will be our guest at our general body PTA meeting (Nov 17). He will go over EduAvenues (TJTestPrep, tutoring, college admissions coaching, essay reviews, SAT/ACT, and Pre-MedPrep) and answer any questions. Don't miss it! More information can be found at our website www.rcmspta.com on our What's Happening page.
