The NJPTA Diversity and Inclusion Committee has been hard at work trying to tailor programs to meet the diversity and inclusion needs of our families and local units. To this end, we have designed a survey to give us an idea of where we stand from the perspective of local families.
Please share this survey in your community through your social media, newsletter, etc, and help us engage and empower families and local units.
Our teachers and students are mostly back in the school building this year-albeit masked up and socially distant. And while health and safety are top of mind, National PTA wants to help make sure you have the tools you need to rock this school year!
It is time to sign up for the 2021-2022 Local Leader Kit and newsletters under your National PTA Profile to gain access to a comprehensive digital guide designed to help you learn the basics of running your PTA unit. Don't miss out on access to just about everything you need as a local PTA leader, including guidance to help you:
build a strong board
Formulate your PTA calendar of programs and events
Navigating the unique challenges of being a 501(c)(3)
Increasing your PTA membership
choose and organize a PTA fundraiser
Communicate with your school community
and more!
These tools and templates, online resources and training courses will inform your work as you establish your PTA and volunteer roles and, throughout the year, ensure that your PTA stays on track to achieve the PTA mission: to make every child's potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.
The National PTA's National Standards for Family-School Partnerships have transformed family engagement at all levels of the educational system. PTA leaders like you were an integral part of the adoption of the standards and now we invite you to engage in this work again. Since the last revision of the standards, we have seen changes that call upon PTA to invest in their relevance and impact - and we're inviting you to be a part of this legacy!
How have you used the standards to enhance family engagement in your community? What do you want the future of family engagement to look like? Join us for a 60-minute focus group to share your thoughts and opinions about family engagement, as well as your experience using the National Standards for Family School Partnerships.
