The PTA is a great place to make new friends, share fun and rewarding experiences with old friends and stay in touch with what's happening at ISD! 

 

It does not matter whether you have a lot of time to give or just a little, we want you to be involved in ISD and feel like you can contribute to making our school great!

 

Among the many PTA committee roles, there are:

  • big awesome jobs
  • small but mighty jobs
  • jobs that let you help out in the school
  • jobs where you work with the kids
  • jobs that can be done completely from home or office
  • jobs that can be done on the weekend
  • jobs that let you be a part of the school day
  • jobs that let you represent ISD in our town
  • jobs you can do on your own
  • jobs where you can be a part of a team

 

We encourage every parent to explore all of the committees and roles available below to see where they can find a good fit to use use their skills to contribute to our PTA and take part in enriching the lives of our ISD students and families.

Look for the   icon to see the roles that are available for next year.

Look for this icon  to view roles that can easily be done from work/office. These might be roles that you do on your own or roles where you can easily attend a few meetings via zoom to complete. Many committees do not need you to step foot at school at all and others only on the day of the event. Don't be afraid to explore the opportunities even if you are a working parent or have young ones at home!

OUR PTA

 

The ISD PTA is comprised of dedicated parents, teachers and staff who volunteer their time and give generous donations to provide practical support for our school. That practical support comes in many shapes and sizes and requires a lot of volunteers. These volunteers all work in concert to further the mission of the ISD PTA.

 

The Mission of the PTA:

 

To enrich and augment the GPS and ISD IB Primary Years Curriculum. Curriculum Enrichment is a cornerstone of our mission and provides staff and children the opportunity touch, see, feel and experiment in and out of the classroom while providing a spectrum of fun, educational and exciting experiences.

 

To enhance the school through beautification, staff support, technology, teaching tools and capital improvements.

 

To encourage a sense of community and belonging. ISD is much like big extended family and that is in large part due to our many outreach programs, family events and activities. We are not your average neighborhood school; roughly 45% of our students are admitted via lottery and the other 55% are from the ISD district, so we strive to reach out to all of our families and create a sense of unity and belonging.

 

To provide a voice for our community and children to advocate for a higher level of engagement and communication within our school and district.
