PTA Directory Coming Soon!

The Deer Park PTA is preparing the 2023-2024 Student Parent directory. This directory provides a listing of all enrolled students, Preschool to 6th grade. It includes the student name, parent name and parent email (no phone numbers). It will be distributed to PTA members.

If you DO NOT want your information included in the directory, you must opt-out by Friday, January 19th by emailing our Registrar, Laura Zirzow.

Directory opt-out information was provided at the start of the school year, but we respect your privacy and want to make sure you've had another opportunity to opt-out of the directory if you so choose.
