Welcome back, Mountain Lions!

And welcome to our newest Mountain Lions!

 

We are so excited to welcome all of our families—both new and returning—to another great year! The PTA is here to help support our students, staff, and school community through events, enrichment programs, and volunteer efforts. 

 

Whether it’s organizing assemblies, hosting family nights, or helping out in the classroom, there’s a place for everyone to get involved.  

 

We’d love for you to join us! Together, we can make this year a fantastic one for all our kids!

 

Please look through the checklist below to get the school year started with your PTA!
