PTA

South Central has a very active Parent Teacher Association. We urge you to get involved with your child's school (while they still want you to!) 

Did you know, research shows children who have parents involved in their schooling make better grades and have fewer discipline issues? In addition, you will meet local families, know what is going on in the school, have a voice in some decisions with programs and fundraisers, and help to build a stronger community for our students. Some Activities that the PTA sponsors are:

  • Homeroom Parties
  • Academic Programs
  • Book Fairs
  • Family Nights
  • Fitness Day
  • Grade Level Field Trips

* Meetings are on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 6:00 pm. JOIN US!
