Getting Involved

What opportunities are available for volunteers? We need help doing whatever you are good at and whatever you have time for. We'd love to see you at PTA meetings if you're available. If you're willing to take "point" on one event or fundraiser in a school year, that is extremely helpful. If you are willing to sign up for a one or two hour shift during a longer event, that's great too. If you've got connections with a business that could make a donation for the Harvest Festival Raffle & Silent Auction, then we'd love to hear from you.

What if I'm not a member of the PTA? There is no need to be an official member to be an active part of this organization. As the caregiver to a child at this school, you are welcome to join any of our meetings, bring your kids to any events, volunteer your time, volunteer your skills, or volunteer your money. Attendance is always free for any PTA-sponsored event. We are an official PTA only for tax and legal purposes. We need 25 members to be considered an active PTA. You can join the PTA officially: $5 if paid in cash or check (bring this form to a PTA meeting) or $5.68 if paid online.

How do I get involved? You can come to any of our monthly meetings, follow us on facebook, or email us. We also send out periodic requests via flyer (check your child's backpack), email (we use the School Messenger system that the school system uses), remind, and with the Announcements on this site.

How can I learn more? In addition to everything already listed above on this page, we also send home (approximately, during the school year) monthly flyers and announcements are often posted on the digital display in front of the school. We regularly send email communication through school messenger & remind. If you don't get emails from the school, you can find more information to do that here: albanyschools.org/communications/school-messenger-community. To subscribe to the PTA's remind account, you can text: @h7dbk4 to 81010 or visit: https://www.remind.com/join/h7dbk4).
