How successfully is your PTA achieving the National Standards for Family-School Partnerships? Share your success story by applying for the Phoebe Apperson Hearst Family-School Partnership Awards!

The National Standards provide a roadmap to help PTAs, schools, and communities work together to more effectively connect family and community engagement to student success. All local PTAs that submit a complete award application demonstrating achievement in one or more of the National Standards will receive a Family-School Partnership Award of Merit. For representing the best in one of the six National Standards, six PTAs will receive an Award of Excellence, with a $500 monetary award. One PTA will receive the Outstanding Family-School Partnership Award, with a $2,000 monetary award, for demonstrating significant achievement in all six standards.

Over the last 24 hours we have been asked about any effort(s) to help students, families and schools in Haiti. For now we would encourage our members to support relief agencies, like the Red Cross.

Since 1948 the Colorado PTA has managed a Scholarship Fund for graduating seniors who have attended PTA/PTSA affiliated high schools.  During this time we have been able to provide over 300 scholarships to deserving students who have met the criteria outlined here.
