Konstella is a new communication tool built for school groups that the Arleta PTA will start using for our school this year, which should make it easier to keep families informed and communicate directly with each other.
Konstella can do all of this in the language of your choice: join social and parent groups, sign up to volunteer, see newsletters and announcements, join committees, get event reminders and classroom communications, file and photo sharing, see calendar of events, send private and group messages, access the parent and teacher directory, view information on your cell phone or computer.

A HUGE thank you to the community members who stepped up to keep Arleta's PTA alive this year!
We still have a few spots where we could use some help.
We need a leader for our Green Team, and could definitely use additional co-chair assistance for Fundraising, Events, Inclusion, Advocacy, Family Engagement or really anywhere your interests lie.
Don't want to lead, just want to be an occasional volunteer? We'd love to know that too! Email arletaschoolpta@gmail.com to get involved
and
THANK YOU!

Reviews can play an important part when deciding to try a new restaurant or making an online purchase. The same goes for choosing a school for our kids. Parents and caregivers who are researching where to send their child to school pay attention to what others say about their experience.
You can help shine a positive light on Arleta by writing a review on the Great Schools website.
