P.T.A
ACA encourages parent involvement and strives to support a strong family-school partnership with activities guided by the National PTA principles and standards. Your time and talents are our #1 resource as it increases student achievement, enhances self-esteem, and improve behavior, and school attendance. The primary purpose of the ACA PTA (Parent-Teacher Association) is to promote the welfare of children at school and at home by focusing on education, social events, and sports. The PTA is a forum where parents can get involved in and support various school initiatives by hosting programs and events that enhance the relationship between home and school so that parents, administrators, and teachers may cooperate in the education of the students. When you join ACA PTA, you have the right to vote for the policies that are important decisions that directly affect our school and events.
