Why Be Involved with Your PTSA?
Research has shown that parental involvement is a leading predictor of student success. It results in better grades, better social skills, and a positive attitude towards school.
The Woodridge Elementary PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association) is a membership based, all-volunteer, nonprofit 501(c)-3 organization. To reach of goals of community, fundraising, and volunteerism, we need parents to be involved. Together, we bring to the school community specials events such as game night, movie nights, the variety show, the science fair, the carnival -- and of prime importance, financial resources to bridge funding gaps.
The PTSA can help you get involved at Woodridge. By volunteering with us, you will get to know teachers, staff members, other families better, and understand more about what is happening at the school. When you are involved at school you show your child that education is important to you.
Ways to get involved:
