About the PTA
What is the PTA?
The Glenview Elementary PTA works to connect families to school needs—and to each other! We’re an active volunteer organization committed to supporting students and teachers in the school community.
Our PTA is governed by the rules and protocols set by the PTA of California, as outlined in the Glenview PTA bylaws. We actively pursue diversity, equity, and inclusion in all of our work, including budgeting and use of funds, community-building events, and the recruitment of PTA Board members.
What does the PTA do?
A major function of our PTA is funding staff and programs not covered by our school district. Public schools aren’t allowed to raise money so the PTA is a non-profit designed to fill this need.
The funds we raise go to support a variety of academic programs and bringing our school community together. The PTA budget (and lots of volunteer time!) is how we make a range of programs possible:
- Literacy and reading interventions
- PE coach
- Support staff and mentors
- Classroom supplies
- Field trips
- Music programming
- School library
- School site and safety improvements
- Parent education
- Community events like Science Fair, Fall Carnival, Family Potluck, and 5th Grade Graduation
How do I participate in the PTA?
Everyone is welcome at all PTA-sponsored activities, including community events and school functions! We also encourage all families to join the PTA. PTA membership dues are just $10 per family per year, and give you voting rights on what programs the PTA funds.
