The PTA addresses issues that are important to parents, the school, and the children. We fight for the same thing—full funding, quality teachers, capabilities for schools to thrive. Membership is open to everyone, Shiloh Charter School PTA encourages you to join. Some of the benefits that PTA brings are:
Communication. Frequently, one of a PTA’s responsibilities is coordinating production of a school newsletter and information fliers, keeping the entire Shiloh Charter School community informed of current events, issues, and accomplishments. In addition, regularly scheduled meetings are an opportunity for you to share information with members..
Financial Support. Shiloh Charter School PTA is self-funding. By inviting the entire school’s parent community to join, we generate membership fees to pay for programs. Shiloh Charter School PTA often organizes fundraising events. Proceeds support school-based programs, building maintenance and improvements, and educational and social events.
Children’s Well-Being. Shiloh Charter School PTA focuses on what students need to be successful in their learning, including nutrition, health, and well-being. Whether the issue is school safety, physical fitness, or healthy breakfasts, Shiloh Charter School PTA works with school administrators to ensure that children are prepared to succeed.
Informed Parents. Perhaps one of the most important benefits is that involved parents understand the challenges schools face and become part of the solution. They support improving education, both locally and legislatively. By developing a closer relationship with parents, student achievement improves, and the school develops a positive reputation in the community.
