PTA
The Tyler PTA is an active and involved organization comprised of parents, guardians, teachers, and community members working to create opportunities for Tyler students and families. The PTA strives to be a powerful voice for all children, a relevant resource for families and communities, and a strong advocate for the education and well being of every child.
It supports parent initiatives and administrative goals through advocacy, event planning and fundraising.
The PTA sponsors numerous projects throughout the year such as Box Tops, Alchemy of Great Taste, Laps Around Lincoln, Escrip, an Annual Meet and Greet before school starts, various other fundraising projects, and assistance hosting and planning activities and events for the school.
The PTA understands the problem of feeling inundated with one fundraiser after another. If this is the case, all we ask is that you review the description of events and choose one or two that you think you are able to give your greatest support. Please remember that the money raised is used for the benefit of Tyler students and the Tyler community. Computers, playground equipment, audio/visual equipment, and cultural enrichment programs are all examples of the use of such funds. Note: No door to door solicitation is permitted.
PTA executive committee and general membership meetings are always open to everyone. A parent or teacher does not have to be a member to attend, but only those who have paid membership dues may vote in elections, approve the budget, or approve a bylaws change. At executive board meetings, only members of the executive board may vote on issues.
Membership dues are $4 per person. You may pay your membership dues by cash, money order, check or on-line through WePay. If you are paying by money order or check, please make it payable to the Tyler PTA. Ready to join now?
We encourage you to join the PTA and let us hear your voice. If you are interested in volunteering and have not joined the PTA, please send an email to tylerpta@hotmail.com and let us know how you would like to be involved.
