We are delighted to have so many new additions to the committee this year. Here is some information regarding what the PTA is and what to expect.
*Who are we? *
We are the parents/guardians of the pupils at Staplestown NS. All parents automatically become a member of the PTA which is led by the committee. We work with the principal, teachers and board of management to build an effective partnership of home and school.
*What is our purpose? *
- We can suggest and/or organise Extra Curricular Activities (after school activities). Please note that suggestions or feedback on activities done during school hours should be directed to the school.
- We fundraise through various activities throughout the school year e.g Christmas raffle, Easter raffle, bake sales. We apply for relevant grants when needed. When financially possible we subsidize buses, activities, class gifts and help support larger school needs e.g. library/sensory room
- We are a support for parents in the school. When possible we will help and if your query is not within our remit we will direct you to the appropriate contact. We are not a forum for complaint, particularly against an individual teacher or parent. The complaints procedure is the mechanism for this.
- We support the school in building effective parent relationships by assisting at various social events throughout the year e.g welcome morning for new parents, Christmas concert, grandparents day, communion/confirmation and graduation days.
- We can advise the principal and Board of Management on policy issues that may require a review of school policy, e.g. Bullying, Safety, Homework, Enrolment, Behaviour problems etc.
- We can invite speakers to address the parents on issues which are topical or relevant.
*How can you contact the PTA?*
ptastaplestown@gmail.com
*How can you get involved? *
- Attend PTA meetings.
- Share ideas and information with committee members.
- Help at the various social events.
- Join the committee.
