We are excited to announce the launch of the new Tashua Tigers website!

On this site, you will be able to get information on school news, teacher information, PTA & Father’s Club events, and so much more!

Please visit the PTA page for weekly reminders and updates as we will be instituting some changes this year that we hope will be more useful to our parents.  We will no longer have a weekly newsletter but instead will post information on the website.

Remember to become a PTA member! Forms will be available at Orientation and Back-to-School Night. As a PTA member, you will receive an E-blast mail once a week with upcoming events and reminders and be part of the school, directory.

Please visit our site and check our the PTA message board to keep up to date on news about our community.

We look forward to the upcoming school year and all the exciting things we have planned to make our kids’ experiences at Tashua School the best it could be.

Please contact us if you have any questions or comments.

WHAT DOES THE TASHUA PTA DO?

The Tashua School Parent Teacher Association (PTA) works with the Principal, teacher representatives, and the parent members to ensure the delivery of high-quality programs that enhance each child’s education. It is solely responsible for funding the following activities, events, and teams.

WHERE DO THE PTA FUNDS COME FROM?

To deliver the budget that our programs require, our Fundraising Team oversees one principal fundraiser, where we ask each family to donate $30 or more.  We also raise funds by participating in  General Mills’ ”Box Tops for Education” programs, Stop and Shop A+ Bonus Bucks Program, Big Y Education Express Program, Labels for Education  and other GiveBack Programs.  (See Give back oppurtunities under Give Back Programs in the Committee drop down menu to get signed up.)

WHY SHOULD I BECOME A MEMBER OF THE PTA?

PTA Membership:

· Benefits your child and the school. Research has proven that kids do better in school when parents are involved.  Grades are higher, test scores improve, and attendance increases.

· Connects you to a network. The PTA and its functions are opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, build rapport, and discuss ideas.

· Means more informed parents. Parents involved in the PTA understand the challenges schools face and become part of the solution.  They support improving education – both locally and legislatively – and as a result, schools develop a positive reputation in the community.

· Boosts children’s well-being. PTAs focus on what students need inn order to be successful in school, including the benefits of good nutrition and health, physical fitness, school safety – even starting the day with a nutritious breakfast.

· Gets you connected and gives you a voice. There’s no better way to know what’s happening in your school than by being part of the PTA.  Because the PTA is a forum for exchanging ideas, you are encouraged to make suggestions, and in this way, more effectively create change at your school.

· Improves your skills. By volunteering with the PTA, you gain valuable experiences.  It’s an opportunity to put your skills and hobbies to good use for a great cause!

· Results in school improvement. PTAs play an important role in fundraising, which provides building improvements, curriculum-based programs, and social events – all vital to a school’s success.

· Makes you a good role model. By becoming a PTA member, you’ll be demonstrating to your child(ren) the importance you place on education.
