PTA

Welcome to Hoffman-Boston!

Dear All Star Families,

On behalf of the Hoffman-Boston PTA, I welcome you to another fantastic school year. This is your formal invitation to become involved with the PTA

(Parent Teacher Association), a partnership between parents, teachers and staff.

This year we hope to:

· increase participation of parents, teachers and staff members

· offer a variety of family events to help build community between all members of the school

· raise funds through giving and fundraising to support activities offered by the school

· support parents by offering workshops designed to help with parenting skills and understanding your role in your child's education

· develop and implement in-school programs for students, teachers and staff to increase school spirit

· include more parents on committees so you feel more connected with the school community

· provide more meetings that focus on issues that concern you and your children (the 3rd Tuesday of each month)

· provide opportunities for parents/guardians to work closely with classroom teachers and specialists (as room parents, on field trips, as volunteers for

special programs and more)

· help students and parents become partners in learning

· open lines of communication between school and home so you feel comfortable coming into the school to raise concerns, ask questions, volunteer, offer

praise and express gratitude for a job well done

· work collaboratively to showcase the best that Hoffman-Boston has to offer

· increase our visibility in the community and across the County

We look forward to a productive year, and we need your help to be successful. Please formally join the PTA by completing the membership application and

submitting your dues. Remember that your participation is key and that we all have something very unique to offer. Hoffman-Boston and the Arlington View

neighborhood have a rich history. Let's embrace it, build onto it and share the "good news."
