Our PTA
The primary role of a parent-teacher association is to build healthy relationships between parents, teachers, and school administrators so they can provide the best possible support for students.
Those listed below have volunteered to provide leadership this year. If you are interested in any of the open positions or have any questions, please email info@argonautpta.org.
Visit the job descriptions page for details on time commitment and responsibilities. We would like each program and event to have two committee chairs to share the volunteering responsibilities, from different grades where possible, for easier transitions.
Want to reach us for questions or suggestions? Email us at info@argonautpta.org.
