Our PTA
The mission of the ACCESS PTA is to support a vibrant and positive learning environment through fundraising and coordination of volunteer opportunities that support teachers and staff, generate school spirit, and help provide the support for students to excel.
The ACCESS PTA is made up of a 6-person volunteer executive board PLUS a vast and vibrant group of parent and teacher volunteers who pool their talents to provide practical support, and are integral to making a myriad of things happen.
Many hands make for light work and so we welcome all who are able to volunteer in a variety of different ways. There are opportunities to help that range from 1-2 hours a year to 1-2 hours weekly, and everything in between. Those listed below volunteered to provide leadership this year. Get to know their names and faces, and feel free to ask them if you have questions. Interested in volunteering with the PTA? Contact us at access-academy-pta@googlegroups.com!
