Information on Ohlone PTA

The Ohlone Parent Teacher Association ("PTA") is a group of volunteers working together to help make the Ohlone community as rich and fulfilling as possible, inside and outside the classroom. These dedicated parents organize, host, fund, and implement many programs that augment the Ohlone classroom experience and truly "bring home and school together".

Ohlone PTA projects include communications programs like the Ohlone Arrow, the school signboard, eNews, and this website; enrichment programs like the after school Foreign Language Program, Family Science Night, Family Math Night, Family Orchestra Night, Literacy Night, and onsite theatrical performances; community-building events like Ice Skating Night, Pancake Breakfast, Parent Coffees, and the Spring Fling picnic; and supplemental funding for classroom needs via checks to every teacher at the beginning of the school year and school-wide needs via grants to the principal.

In addition, as part of the largest parent advocacy group in the country, the Ohlone PTA supports and is supported by local, state, and national PTA organizations.  Part of the PTA mission is to influence and support education policies and legislative efforts that affect the well being of children.

We hope that every Ohlone parent and staff member will become a PTA member and participate in this organization that serves our school and improves the lives of our children.  Meetings are held several times each school year.  We look forward to seeing you there!

Bylaws
Our PTA is governed by bylaws, which must be reviewed and approved by the State PTA periodically.  The most recent proposed revisions have just been approved by the California PTA and are now posted for our members' review.  The revised bylaws will be presented for a vote by the membership at our January meeting.
