Oak Grove PTA Board of Directors Annual Goals
2008 - 2009 School Year
Support our students’ success by:
Supporting the teachers and staffing in whatever means possible as mutually agreed to with the principal. Determine needs in regularly scheduled meetings between principal and PTA Co-Presidents.
Speaking up for every child. Advocate at least once during the 2008/2009 school year at both the state and local levels for legislation, funding, and/or policies to improve our students’ education.
Fundraising to supplement public funding and to enrich the academic curriculum.
Planning musical and artistic enrichment; cultural, athletic, and family events; field days; and other activities to enrich Oak Grove families’ experiences.
Partnering with at least one organization to promote our families’ community outreach thereby assisting our children in their efforts to support people in need.
Leveraging technology to increase the PTA’s effective communication with parents and teachers. By the end of the 2008/2009 have more than 90% of Oak Grove families receiving The Oak Tree electronically. Use DeKalb County’s “Pilot Voicemail” system to distribute mass meeting-reminder voicemails to parents.
Expanding PTA General Meetings to include informational, education and/or parenting presentations.
