Welcome to the Parent Teacher Association
If this is your first year at Oakland Scotland School, I would like to extend a very warm welcome to each of you. If you are a "seasoned" OSS family, I know that you are as excited as we are about starting the new school year.
As the new PTA Chair, I am looking forward to continuing the working partnership we have established with our amazing teachers and our invaluable staff, providing an excellent learning experience for our children.
I encourage each and every one of you to become a part of our team. The number one reason to volunteer with the PTA is to benefit the children. In doing so, you also help us. But there are many more advantages:
- The PTA is a forum for exchanging ideas, attend the PTA Association meetings throughout the year to make suggestions, and provide your input.
- By getting involved, you’ll be part of the solution, helping to make positive change.
- PTA functions provide opportunities to meet other parents and teachers.
- By becoming a PTA member, you’ll be demonstrating to your child the importance you place on education.
- By volunteering with your PTA, you gain valuable experiences and personal confidence. It’s an opportunity to put your skills and hobbies to good use, for a good cause.
