Our annual Dolphin Drive gives our school much needed resources, and helps make our community special! We are asking our community to support the PTA and all it has to offer Arleta by making a donation through our Square site or via check or cash which can be submitted to the front office.

What is the Dolphin Drive?

The Dolphin Drive is the PTA largest fundraiser and we have a goal to raise $8,000. The funds support all our fun free events, special student experiences, teacher grants, student yearbooks, and so much more!

Have your kiddos decorate the dolphin in the Dolphin Drive Letter that came home (or, click here to access it now) and turn into their teacher or the front office. Feel free to decorate as many as you like! Dolphins will be displayed on the waves in the windows outside the office to show our progress towards our $8,000 Dolphin Drive GOAL!

Arleta's Girls on the Run team has been working hard and their practice 5K is coming up soon!  We invite and encourage you to come and cheer them on.  

The non-competitive event will be held on Wednesday October 23rd at Arleta.  The event will start at approximately 3:00pm and will continue until all participants are finished.  This does fall on an early release day and it will be held rain or shine.  

We would love extra help with keeping athletes on course, passing out lap counters, and holding the finish line.  Here is a volunteer sign up:  Practice 5K volunteer (this could be a fun volunteer role for friends!)

Let's come together and show our support for the amazing Arleta athletes!  Whether you sign up or show up, they will be pumped to see you.  

 It's time for another community dine in/out! Dick's Primal Burger on Woodstock is supporting Arleta by donating a portion of sales when you dine in/out on October 17th. Take the night off from cooking and enjoy dinner out or pick up some take out (3rd party apps won't count). 

We need Bake Sale donations for our Fall Festival!

Sign up here 

to donate some yummy treats to be sold at the Fall Festival. Cookies, breads, brownies, rice krispy treats or any favorite treat is welcome!  Items will be priced based on size/qty, but estimated $1-$2 per item.  If you are able to individually package them, that would be helpful, but we will take them in any form.  Please drop items at the office on Friday 10/25 by 4pm.  

Thank you!

Welcome and Welcome Back Arleta Families!

Please check out this Back-to-School Checklist to help you navigate the school year, from Arleta's social media and school web pages, school supply lists, volunteering, contacting the office, enrolling in the school's main communication platform, and more.

Arleta thrives on the collaboration of parents, guardians, students, and staff to make all the great things and events happen at Arleta. This includes you. We'd love to incorporate your voice, suggestions, ideas, participation, and/or leadership to make things happen, both old and new.

 Above shows a snapshot of what the PTA stands for, what the PTA hosts/supports, and Committees within it. The flyer also highlights school-facilitated programs unique to Arleta separate from the PTA, as well as PTA partners. 

To dissolve the mystery, the PTA is nothing more than a bunch of parent volunteers who want to work together to help enrich the experiences of all our kids and provide opportunities for us to build relationships with one another. By doing this under the umbrella of a non-profit PTA, Arleta is able to tap into assistance, resources, grants, fundraising opportunities, and legal protections that would otherwise be unavailable to us. 

Want to learn more? We'd love to talk with you!

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!

We're excited to resume our Neurodivergent Family Gatherings welcoming students, parents, and guardians. This casual group offers a safe space to talk, connect, and play. Pizza dinner and kid activities will be provided.  Please email arletaschoolpta@gmail.com if you would like a translator.
