Laurelhurst School

The goal of the PTA (Parent Teacher Association) is to promote the welfare of children in school, home and community. There is a local (our Laurelhurst PTA), state, and national PTA. There is also a Seattle Special Education PTSA, formed in 2006.

The Laurelhurst PTA

The Laurelhurst PTA is an association of parents and teachers dedicated to ensuring that our children receive a quality education. The PTA is governed by an elected Board of Directors made up of parent volunteers and staff representatives. The PTA Board works closely with the school principal and staff to ensure that the needs of our school community are being met.

bulletBoard Meetings. The PTA Board generally meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. in the staff lounge. Meetings are open to all parents, guardians and staff.
bullet All-School Meetings. Three All-School PTA meetings are also held during the year. These meetings are designed to inform and unite our parent base. Please make a point to attend the All-School PTA Meetings.

Nominations for PTA board positions are made in April through a Nominating Committee. The new board is approved at the All-School PTA Meeting in May.
