Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
Eton School’s Parent Association (PTA) provides the perfect setting for parents and school to walk hand-in-hand, as a team, down the path that will lead to the best education for our children and teenagers.
The PTA helps both parents and the School—fundamental pillars of our students’ education—collaborate in day-to-day and special tasks to help our students become sensitive and intellectually capable beings.
To achieve this goal, the PTA has a Board of Directors, integrated as follows:
- Chairperson
- Treasurer
- Secretary
- Pre-School Vice-Chairperson
- Elementary Vice-Chairperson
- Jr./Sr. High School Vice-Chairperson
Class representatives and group Room-Mothers help the Board of Directors gain the involvement of all parents in the activities proposed by the PTA, which take place throughout the school year in benefit of our entire community.
