 Meeting Dates and Times

To provide opportunities for parents, teachers, and the community to work together to enhance the health, education, and welfare of our children that attend Wheeler Elementary.

Goals

• To encourage and facilitate greater involvement in the decisions and activities of the PT A by the general membership, by challenging the parents to attend the school at least two times a year (besides conferences) to show their support to the school and their children.
• To creatively provide financial support to identified educational needs at Wheeler, which improve our children's learning environment.
• To inform the membership of association, local, state and national events and programs impacting education and learning at Wheeler.
• To promote an ongoing identification of safety and wellness issues at Wheeler to reduce potential risks to our children.

To continue existing programs and introduce new programs to support education and encourage learning at Wheeler through family involvement and participation. Achieving this through involving each family through social events, communicating the activities and issues through a monthly newsletter, and giving each family the opportunity to become involved at the school at many different levels we have to offer.
