Role and Goals of the PTA

The PTA is a liaison between the school and the parents.  The PTA's goals are to assist with fund raisers, support family events and improve the community as a whole.  The PTA works together with the school, but does not make policies.

Contact the PTA

The PTA has a couple email addresses for you to be aware of.

• Use porterpto@hotmail.com for parents with questions, concerns or interest in getting involved with the PTA. Just send an email and one of the officers will get back to you soon!

• Use  lewandpo@pwcs.edu  regarding volunteer opportunities (see below for more information on volunteering).
