The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) at Williams very actively supports the educational process for all students. In accordance with the National and California State PTA, its objectives are:
Among the activities and programs the PTA has helped to sponsor recently are: room representative program and classroom parties, school spirit days, school yearbooks, two annual book fairs, enrichment assemblies and programs for students, field trips, equipping classes with emergency supplies for disaster preparedness and various fundraising activities.
Administrative and procedural decisions concerning PTA are handled by an executive board, elected by the general membership of the Association. The Board consists of president, first vice-president/assemblies chair, second vice-president/membership, third vice-president/ways and means, secretary, historian, treasurer, parliamentarian, auditor, and chairs of standing committees. Budget approval and major policy decisions are made by a vote of the general membership.
Membership in Williams School PTA is open to any adult and requires the annual payment of a small membership fee. Joining the PTA does not obligate you to attend meetings, work in classrooms, serve on committees, or hold an office. It does enable you to support the objectives and programs of PTA, to become more involved in your child's school, and to meet other parents who are also interested in supporting the educational process for all students at Williams School. For parents who are interested in active involvement in PTA, a variety of volunteer opportunities are available. PTA needs room representatives, parents to help with sales at various fund-raising activities, and those to serve as representatives to district programs such as Glendorans for Drug Free Youth and Disaster/Emergency Awareness Program (DEAP). Assistance is also needed in planning new activities such as after-school enrichment classes for students. If you have ideas or time to contribute, please contact the PTA President by calling the school office and asking for her telephone number.
Parents are encouraged to volunteer in classrooms at Williams School. Teachers appreciate parental support in a variety of areas, such as listening to a child or small group read, writing young children's dictated stories, artistic pursuits such as helping with bulletin boards and special projects, etc. Your help, periodically or on a regular basis, is greatly appreciated and enriches the educational experiences of the students.
