PTA

The El Monte PTA is an organization of parents, caregivers, and teachers who support our students, teachers, and staff throughout the school year. 

The PTA holds free events for our school community, including the October carnival Fall Fest, the glow-in-the-dark Glow Dance, and the festive Spring Picnic. The PTA also supports our school through fundraisers, such as the Otis Spunkmeyer fundraiser, the Scholastic Book Fair, and the Apex Fun Run. These fundraisers enable the PTA to provide funds for every classroom teacher and grade level, to support the Drama Club, to support Outdoor Education for our 5th graders, to fill the book vending machine with books, to celebrate our teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week and at the holidays, and to make needed purchases for our students, such as sports equipment for the playground and cooling fans for the cafeteria.

All caregivers are welcome and encouraged to join the PTA! Joining the PTA is a great way to get more involved in the school, stay up-to-date with school updates, and create community with other El Monte families. The PTA meets once a month on the third Tuesday of the month from 6:30–7:30 pm. Meetings are held in the school library, but members and visitors can also join via Zoom. (Please email PTA for the Zoom link.) Even if you aren't able to attend these monthly meetings, there are lots of ways to support our school community virtually and in person by being part of the PTA. 

You can join the PTA by filling out our online membership form or a paper membership form, which is available in the school's front office. Membership is $15 per member per school year. 

If you have questions about the PTA, please email us or look for our table at school events!
