PTA Goals for 2008-2009

Art City Elementary PTA

Goals for 2008-2009

Based on the response of the Needs Assessment Survey we have determined the following 3 areas as our focus for the 2008-2009 school year:

Promote Respect for Authority and Good Behavior toward Others

Eagle Eye--We look forward to participating in a brand new program at Art City called Eagle Eye. This program will reward all students throughout the year for going the extra mile, being kind to others and showing gratitude. Our Student Council will be running the program.

The Nation's Largest Teacher Thank-You Card project. An effort to collect thousands of thank-you messages to teachers from individuals across the nation. Our message is simple: Thank a Teacher! This project was created in response to an NEA poll revealing that the gift nearly half of all teachers would most like to receive is a simple "thank you."

Still searching for a fun assembly with this focus.

Strengthen Parent/Family Involvement in School

Communicate more effectively-monthly emails along with flyers, announcements, newsletters to parents with reminders of upcoming events and activities.

Opportunities to be more involved in our children’s education. We are planning an upcoming Parent Volunteer Day. Possibly adopting the program Three 4 Me. See more at: http://www.three4me.com/about.htm

Monthly invitations to join and participate in our PTA board meetings. If not able to be there, meeting minutes will be available on the Art City Elementary PTA blog at http://artcitynews.blogspot.com/

Encourage and Promote Healthy Nutrition in the lives of our students

Participate with the Nebo School Districts Healthy Lifestyle Challenge

Sponsor a fun assembly, Mont Magic’s “Mission Nutrition”. This assembly teaches children the value of nutrition in a fun and exciting way. To learn more about this assembly and ways in which parents can become involved go to the following web sites: http://www.hypnomontmagic.com/MARS.html
