Central Elementary is recognized as one of the Peninsula's finest public elementary schools. Our involvement as a community of parents is a critical factor to ensure Central continues this standard of excellence. The Central PTA provides resources that benefit every Central student. Your volunteer time and financial donations directly impact your child's classroom and school - immediately enriching the quality of your child's education.
FUNDRAISING - WHY AND HOW TO DONATE
Parent donations to SchoolForce, our education foundation, fund PTA activities and events at Central Elementary School. Donations to SchoolForce also fund staff, curriculum and programs at Central, transforming what would be a basic education funded by state funds only, into a well-rounded educational experience for every Central student, every day.
Make your donation to support your Central student!
Thank you for supporting the Central PTA!
HOW TO VOLUNTEER
Volunteers are the heart of our Central PTA; it is through over 14,000 annual volunteer hours that we make our programs go! We ask that each Central family volunteer in some way, each year. Please visit the volunteer page to sign-up to be cleared to be a volunteer. Once you've signed up with the district please fill out our Volunteer Sign Up Form.
PTA MEETINGS
Our PTA General Association Meetings are a great opportunity to learn more about PTA at Central. At each meeting, our Principal shares important information about what is happening around school, and PTA Officers give budget and committee updates. PTA Members vote on important items including spending proposals and the annual board slate. Please join us and help do the work of PTA!
General Association Meetings are held the third Wednesday of the month, on alternating months, and usually last about an hour. Executive Board Meetings are held the first Wednesday of each month. Please contact the PTA President at president@belmontcentralpta.org for additional meeting information or to schedule an agenda item. Thank you!
