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 to enrich the experiences for all of 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!
Konstella is a new communication tool built for school groups that the Arleta PTA will start using for our school, 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. Learn more at konstella.com.
Download the Konstella app today! The app is available for iOS (iphones) and Android. Once downloaded, click Register, enter the invitation code FH3W5B, then tap Join in the email you get. There isn't much content available yet, but once we fully roll it out in the Fall you'll already be signed up!
Help beautify Arleta grounds on Saturday, August 17th from 9 am to 12 pm by helping to remove invasive species, add in new plantings and mulch, and clean up our outdoor spaces before students return to school. Gloves and tools provided. We'll have beverages and light snacks. Children and adults welcome!
A HUGE thank you to the community members who stepped up to keep Arleta's PTA alive next year! We still have a few spots where we could use some help. If you were overwhelmed by the thought of being PTA president but looking for ways to lend a hand, now's the time!
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!
Thanks to donations from our school community, the PTA was able to approve nearly $4,000 for staff grants this year. This is one of the great ways the PTA is able to support our school community! Each year the PTA ask staff to submit grant requests for supplies, materials and activities that enrich our students' school experience.
We are looking for 2-3 volunteers each day from 10:45am to 12:30pm to help monitor the playground and assist in the lunch room. This is a fun way to get to know the students and staff!
Volunteers need to have passed a PPS background check and be fully vaccinated for COVID-19. Visit the PPS website to start your application and screening process. (Once approved, your application is good for three years).

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.
