What is the PTA?

The Banyan Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a volunteer group of parents,  teachers, staff members, and friends who have the same mission: to partner together to support a thriving academic environment, provide programs that enrich their educational experience, including physical education, art, music and more. It serves four primary roles:

  • Volunteer coordination

  • Social/Community-building

  • Fostering communication within the Banyan community

  • Fundraising (to support our mission and goals)

Our goals are to:

  • build a healthy and nurturing school community;

  • cultivate a collaborative environment through effective communication;

  • enhance academic and enrichment programs; and

  • support classrooms through room parents and volunteers.
