If you have not already done so, please have your PTA president email the LWPTSA Council secretary at secretary@lwptsa.net and SEG chairs Kaity Mason & Huma Zarif at specialeducation@lwptsa.net to let us know you have been appointed to this role.

Calling all local PTA membership VPs and chairs: Join us for an online roundtable discussion on all topics related to membership. We plan to have separate breakout sessions for elementary and secondary leaders so you can connect with others who may be experiencing similar membership issues.
The LWPTSA Sustainability Committee meets monthly and focuses on raising awareness around sustainable initiatives district-wide, sharing resources, and connecting with one another. Community members are always welcome.
The Sustainability Committee is made up of local chairs at schools across the district. The committee has worked on a range of issues, including food recovery, waste reduction, composting, green cleaning, no-idle zones, herbicide-free schools, and engaging and supporting students in their efforts to combat climate change and create a livable planet.
All local PTA leaders are invited to attend our monthly membership meetings held the first Thursday of the month during the school year. Each year three meetings are held in the evening. This year they are November, January and April.

The emphasis will be on 5th and 8th grade students, but suitable for any parent who wants to learn more about the various levels of school and what to expect. This session may also be of interest to parents who didn’t attend school in the United States, or those who transferred here from another school system or state. Bring your lunch and learn with us!
