Welcome to the Queen's College PTA Webpage

We invite all parents and teachers to become actively involved with the PTA.  Your participation brings new talents, ideas, and enthusiasm to the activities we sponsor.  Children love to see their parents participate in school activities. 

Please visit our PTA Calendars page frequently to stay informed of upcoming activities and ways to help our school.

The PTA at Queens College is a very active part of the school family. Our goal is to help students, families, and staff members make our school the best it can be.  The PTA consists of parents and teachers who volunteer their time and talents to help organize various activities throughout the  school year. The PTA helps bring assemblies, equipment, field trips, and special programs to our children each year. 

Membership is open to all parents/guardians of students enrolled in school.

Please send comments and suggestions for the web site to                qcpta@qchenceforth.com

PTA Officers:

The officers have varying responsibilities but in general are charged with running the PTA; i.e., conducting meetings, preparing and tracking the PTA budget, helping resolve parent/teacher issues, etc.

PTA COMMITTEES

Our PTA has many opportunities throughout the year for you to assist our teachers and students. 

We are fortunate to have parents actively involved with the educational process of our children. We have many parents that volunteer their time and talents to the special events and services sponsored by the PTA.

Please browse our committee pages to see where you can make a contribution. 

You can make a difference!

The PTA is organized into numerous committees.  Parent volunteers are needed to chair each committee.

All committees have the option for two people to become co-chairpersons to reduce the workload.

Some of the committees require more time than others.  Some are ongoing throughout the year such as The Annual Steak-Out & Fair, and NEWLY FORMED BOYS CLUBS. 

Others are once a year events such as The Annual Walk-a-thon, Teacher’s Appreciation, Movie Night, School Production.

Please consider volunteering to help with a committee.  Many hands make the workload much lighter for all.

Volunteers are not limited to just "moms".  Dads, grandparents, aunts, uncles, neighbors, etc are all welcome to be a part of the committees.  The more volunteers we have the more the PTA will be able to accomplish for our children.  If you have been involved with the PTA in the past, we thank you for your participation and look forward to working with you again.

If you are new to the PTA, we wish to welcome you and thank you for your time and talents that will benefit our students. 

We would like to thank you in advance for volunteering to help the PTA reach its goals.
