• The Parent Teacher Student Association:

    The PTSA provides an avenue for parents to be involved in the education of their children. This is achieved by supporting the school community including teachers, staff, children and fellow parents.

    Membership of the Mile High Middle School PTSA includes all parents, guardians and teachers within the school community.

    The role of PTSA includes:

    • Supporting the school’s mission.
    • Facilitating social activities.
    • Arranging fundraising to provide additional funds for school and PTSA needs.
    • A forum for parents to voice issues or concerns they may have.
    • The Executive Board meets monthly to discuss how education within the school is operating and provide parent feedback on this. Also discussed are the operations of the PTSA and specific ways PTSA can further support the school.
    • The PTSA also organizes forums open to all to discuss specific topics and to raise any other topics for discussion.
    • Membership is open to anyone who believes in the Mission and Purposes of the National Parent Teacher Association. Every person who joins a local PTSA automatically becomes a member of both the state and National PTSAs.

    PTSA Purposes:

    • To promote the welfare of children and young people in homes, schools, communities, and places of worship.
    • To raise the standards of home life.
    • To secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children and young people.

    PTSAs serve as a type of forum where parents, teachers, administrators, and other concerned adults discuss ways to promote quality education, strive to expand the arts, encourage community involvement, and work for a healthy environment and safe neighborhoods. PTSA is focused on the future. To accomplish its mission, PTSA needs a vision for the future as well as clearly defined goals, guidelines, and initiatives.
