Interested in Being More Involved This Year?
Roosevelt has many wonderful programs that just would not run without the time, energy and resources of parents, guardians and other volunteers. We have several Board positions and Committee positions that we
need to fill now. Some of these are once/twice a month
commitments, others are a one-time, short-term commitment while still others are ongoing, monthly commitments.
Check the 2008 - 2009 PTSA Roster for open positions. The PTSA Job Descriptions document will provide you with more details on some of these positions. If you have more questions, please contact a current PTSA Board or Committee member listed on the PTSA page.
So what are the benefits? You get to be in the know early on about issues and events
at our school. You get to meet and know more of the staff and teachers. You get to
work with other parents you might never meet any other way. The work can be really
gratifying and when you volunteer for the PTSA, your efforts help every parent and
student in the school.
