What is the PTA? Simple answer is, YOU ARE! The Arleta Parent Teacher Association is for anyone and everyone - parents, grandparents, neighbors, friends - who have an interest in supporting our school. We are dedicated to supporting the students, teachers and community at Arleta School through volunteerism, outreach, fundraising, and advocacy. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate. The PTA invites the many different skills, creative talents and brave ideas you can bring to enhance Arleta. The following are just some of the ways we are involved at Arleta:
