Who Are We and What Do We Do?

What is a PTA?
The Brookside PTA (Parent, Teacher Association) supports our teachers, families and school through community-building events, classes, services and more. Our organization is part of the National PTA, Washington State PTA and the Shoreline PTA Council.

Keeping Families In The Know
We keep families informed of what’s going on at school through our monthly newsletter, Brookside and Beyond. This publication keeps families informed on PTA and Brookside events and lets families know what’s happening at school.  Weekly Brookside PTA emails are sent out to interested families.  Our PTA also sends home periodic flyers through kid mail/Boomerang that provides event specific information to all families...

About Brookside PTA

Local unit PTAs like Brookside work within their own schools to enrich the educational experience for students, support families, and build community. We raise monies for materials, after-school programs, field trips, assemblies and more, and organize hundreds of volunteers every year to help make Brookside the great school it is. In addition, we are connected to the Washington State PTA and the National PTA, both of which provide powerful lobbying efforts on behalf of all children. For more than 100 years, PTA has been at the forefront of issues affecting children, parents and public schools. PTA is credited with lobbying for establishing kindergarten in public schools, hot lunch programs, juvenile justice and child-labor laws, school bus safety and TV ratings efforts, to name a few.

If you have not yet joined the PTA or have not renewed your membership, please visit our Membership page. Please help us reach our goal of 100% membership!

Goals

Enrich Student Learning:
Support students, parents and teachers with programs and events that enhance the total learning environment, both academically and socially, by providing opportunities such as after school activities, foreign languages, assemblies, grants, and funds for field trips and classroom support.

Promote Communication, Collaboration and Advocacy:
Collaborate with families, students, school staff and the community to promote the health, education, and safety of Brookside students.

Build community within Brookside through good communication, parenting support, and active parent participation at school.

Inform our membership about legislative and other governmental issues affecting the care and education of children.
