    The PTA: We create community, enhance learning and organize volunteers.

    Your PTA needs you! Find out how you can get involved, support our community and keep the ACCESS tradition of service strong. Our goal is participation – find your role and contribute however and whenever you can to help ACCESS serve our kids. There are a lot of ways to get involved:

    Supporting our Teachers

    Each year, ACCESS PTA provides each full-time teacher and counselor with funds to enhance student learning. They use the funds for such things as:

    • Field trips that support and deepen classroom curriculum
    • Art, craft, science, special project, and office supplies and equipment
    • PE equipment and library books
    • Classroom library books and periodicals
    • Classroom party supplies and room decor

    Building our Community

    Events throughout the year give ACCESS students, families and staff special opportunities to get to know one another.  Join fellow parents and the PTA in planning, hosting and enjoying these events, which in the past have included:

    • Harvest Festival — Sunday in October
    • Book Fair — December
    • Game Nights, Movie Nights, Dine Outs and other social events
    • Middle School Socials  
    • ACCESS Auction (to support the ACCESS Foundation)
