456 PTA OVERVIEW

WHO WE ARE
Parents

Every BE parent* is automatically a member of the PTA - while everyone is welcome and encouraged to actively participate, there's no sign-up, no dues, and no mandatory commitments. 

*We use the term "parents" to refer to parents, step-parents, legally appointed guardians, foster parents, and individuals in parental relation to a student at BE.



WHAT WE DO
The PTA plays an active role in shaping the life of our school. We collaborate with school leadership, teachers and our parents to plan community-building and fundraising activities. We create meaningful opportunities for all families to help shape PTA-led programs by providing parents with clear and timely communications. We also develop and manage a PTA operating budget that directly benefits our students by supporting these initiatives and more:

  • Science and Sustainability
  • Creative Arts
  • Social-Emotional Learning
