Frequently Asked Questions about the Parent Teacher Association
1) What is the Parent Teacher Association?
The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is an organization comprised of the parents, teachers and staff within the school. The purpose of the PTA is to advocate for students and families and help keep families aware of things going on within the school. The PTA supports the school and the parents in a number of ways including fundraising, volunteering, holding monthly meetings, and planning events and/or workshops.
2) Who can join the PTA?
Great news - if you are a parent or guardian of a child at P.S. 24, then you are already a member of our PTA. BUT, the PTA is only effective if it has active members so come to one of our general meetings to learn how you can play a part, big or small. While you're there, introduce yourself to anyone on the board!
3) What has the PTA accomplished?
The PTA has funded a number of enrichment programs at PS 24, including field trips and assemblies. The PTA also supports the volunteering program. Volunteers make our events possible (Boo Bash, Spring Fest), help create the yearbook, maintain the garden, and assisted with scanning materials for the new media center. Additionally, the PTA has hosted informative workshops for parents on topics such as curriculum, advice regarding screen time, etc.

There are many ways that you can get involved with the PTA:
- Join the PTA email list to stay informed about what's happening at the school
