PTA

·  Purpose:

The Weller Road PTA serves to act as a link between parents, students, and staff. Weller Road PTA promotes and sponsors a wide range of programs, activities, and events, such as: Cultural Arts Programs, Book Fair, Field Trips and other curriculum enhancing activities.

Our students and staff benefit from the support of an active and enthusiastic PTA. The key to success of Weller Road PTA depends on the generosity of our parents to volunteer their time and talents in supporting activities that help our children experience a creative, enjoyable and challenging environment. This is important to encourage our children to learn, grow and excel academically.
