About Us

The Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) at Arcola Elementary School is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, volunteer organization whose goal is to promote the welfare of our children at school and in the community. We facilitate educational and enrichment programs, coordinate and sponsor community-building events, and provide financial and organizational support to our school administration and staff. We are also an advocacy group and work together with parents, administrators, staff, and community leaders to provide the safest and healthiest educational environment on behalf of our children.

The PTA at Arcola aims to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to promote the welfare and education of all children.
