Join the PTA!
Claremont Middle School is rising on the efforts of its Parent-Teacher Association. By offering ways for families connect to their children’s school experiences, the PTA is helping to build the kind of family-school partnerships that lead to student and school success.
• By producing Claremont’s the weekly email Knightline, as well as the Claremont web site, the PTA makes sure all families know what’s going on at school and have a chance to participate.
• The PTA coordinates volunteer help for newsletter and report card mailings, garden and school beautification efforts, art media lab and music events, library support, the media lab, staff appreciation efforts, fundraising events, and community outreach. PTA volunteers also operate a salad bar for the students during lunch.
