Seattle Council PTSA represents over 80 PTAs and PTSAs in Seattle Public Schools. Centering the voices of those furthest from educational justice, we support, inform, and advocate for and with school communities all over Seattle.
Our first general meeting with Seattle’s Superintendent Denise Juneau, June 2018
Our Board
The volunteer SCPTSA board is composed of parent leaders from every part of the city. Our executive board is elected by general membership every year and the board of directors is filled out by appointment of the President and confirmation of the board. The board meets once a month for SCPTSA business, and once a month with the Superintendent of Seattle Public Schools, in addition to offering support at local unit meetings and advocating on behalf of SPS students with school district, city, and state officials.
PTA's mission is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.
Programs & Focus Areas
Advocacy is at the heart of PTA. Seattle Council PTSA organizes and empowers local leaders to come together for our students.
Our work is grounded in Diversity, Equity & Inclusion—we believe diversity is our strength, equity drives our mission, and collaboration must be inclusive.
SCPTSA centers Family & Community Engagement utilizing the National Standards for Family-School Partnerships—when schools, families, and community groups work together to support student learning, children and teens tend to do better, stay in school longer, and like school more.
Seattle Council PTSA provides Grant Funding to local PTAs for leadership development, family engagement, and the arts.
SCPTSA participates in PTA’s Reflections program, which provides an opportunity for students to use their creative talents by expressing themselves through their own original artwork in a city, state, and nation-wide art competition.
PTA’s School of Excellence program supports and celebrates partnerships between PTAs & schools to enrich the educational experience and overall well-being for all students.
