The Skyline High School PTSA is affiliated with the California State PTA, a branch of the national PTA, the nation’s oldest, largest and highest profile volunteer organization working on behalf of public schools, children and families.
At Skyline, the PTSA provides a forum for parents, guardians, teachers, students, staff and community members to share ideas and concerns for the betterment of Skyline. PTSA volunteers work to improve the education, health and welfare of all students.
Last year the Skyline PTSA used its funds from membership, the eScrip and S.H.A.R.E.S. programs, and other gifts to pay for the following:
$8946 (54% of the budget) was given directly back to students via grants for teachers, the Every 15 Minutes program and funding for Student Leadership programs.
$3084 (18% of budget) was used on production and mailing costs for the Skyline Parent Handbook and The Skyliner, a near-monthly newsletter sent directly to the homes of every Skyline student.
A small portion was the required contribution for California State PTA dues.
The remainder of the budget covered expenses associated with PTSA sponsored events such as Beautification Days, Student Awards Luncheons, Friday Parent/Staff Breakfasts and much more.
This year, membership in the Skyline PTSA is suggested at $35 for families, $25 for individuals, and $2 for students. Of course, any contribution is appreciated.
Skyline PTSA Meetings are held on the 3rd Tuesday of nearly every month in the Library at 7 p.m. They typically consist of a Principal’s Report, a Student Leadership Report, updates from various committees, and a presentation about special programs at the school. These meetings are a great way to learn what about is going on at your child’s school.
