PTA Board Opportunities for 2025-2026

It's hard to believe we're already looking ahead to the 2025-2026 school year!  Dedicated parent volunteers power our PTA, and we're starting our search for next year's leadership team.  Everyone's busy, especially our working parents who already give so much.  That's why we're reaching out early with a gentle nudge –  many hands make light work, and we need your help to continue making a difference at Glen Oaks.

Consider joining our PTA Board!  We have various roles, from Board Officers and Standing Committee Chairs (requiring monthly school-day meetings) to Sub-Committee positions (no meeting attendance required). All roles are encouraged to attend PTA events.  No prior experience is necessary – just a passion for supporting our school.  It's a fantastic way to get involved and make a real impact.

We know it can be easy to think someone else will step up, but often, all it takes is a direct ask.  If you've ever considered volunteering, now's the time! The PTA would especially love to welcome more of our new Kindergarten parents.  More information about specific roles will be shared soon.  In the meantime, feel free to reach out to me directly with any questions.
