While volunteering is NOT a requirement for PTA members, we're always looking for help! 

We often seek volunteers for in-school events, evening PTA events, chairs for events, and board members for our PTA. Opportunities will be posted in our weekly newsletters, on this website, in our Facebook group, and through the school's communications.

Calling all families and teachers! We are looking for volunteers to join our National PTA School of Excellence Committee as Division Street School works to renew its recognition as a National PTA School of Excellence. This recognition celebrates schools that build strong partnerships between families, teachers, and school leaders to support student success.

Working alongside Principal Grant and our PTA Co-Presidents, the committee will gather feedback from our school community, identify opportunities for improvement, and develop a plan to make a positive impact.

How can you help? Committee volunteers will:

• Help share a school survey with families and teachers.

• Encourage participation so all voices are heard.

• Review survey results to identify areas for improvement.

• Work together to select one area of focus and create an action plan.

• Help put the plan into action and track our progress.

We need voices from across our school community! Whether you are a parent, caregiver, or teacher, your ideas and experiences are valuable. No special skills or previous PTA experience are needed.

Together, we can build on what makes Division Street School special and make it even better for our students, families, and staff—interested in joining the committee? Please contact president@divisionschoolschoolpta.com to learn more or volunteer. Your voice matters. Help us make a difference!

Get involved with your student's experience at Division Street and form relationships with Division Street faculty/staff and other families!

The cost to join is $6 per adult and $5 per student. Special benefits available to PTA members for events. Memberships must be renewed yearly!

No, no, no and no. When joining the PTA, there is no obligation to participate. However, if you do want to participate with us, please do! Many hands make light work - and your voice matters in our community!
