Attend our free, in-person training and lunch to get your year started off strong as a unit supporting your school community. RSVP HERE! We’re requesting that AT LEAST ONE OFFICER from each of our 59 active PTAs/PTSAs attend our training. We hope your unit will send a few officers to be trained in various roles! The information you will receive at this training event is crucial to running your unit successfully — officers who attend our training are more prepared for serving and being engaged with their school communities.
This is a great chance for our new officers to meet each other, learn and chat about running their units, and also for returning officers to connect and get updates. Our 2D PTA Officers will be at the event providing training and answering your questions. Bring your questions to the event, and let us know how we can support your PTA/PTSA unit this coming year.
Our SFUSD Superintendent, Dr. Maria Su, will be joining us for lunch; if you stay for lunch, it’s a great opportunity for you to share insights about how your school community is doing with Dr. Su. Be sure to let us know if you will stay for lunch on our RSVP form.
Please note that this event is only for adults and high school students in 12th grade serving as PTA/PTSA officers on their Board. This event is meant for our new/current officers, ages 18 and up, to learn from and chat with one another in the short four hours we have together in person. No kids/youth under age 18 are permitted. Please make your own childcare arrangements ahead of time. There will be no childcare provided at our onsite training event at Everett MS. We cannot accommodate requests for childcare; we do not have a license for childcare nor permission to have kids/youth onsite with our limited district permit to be at Everett MS for our PTA Training. Thanks for understanding.
