about the pta
Niles Elementary has an active Parent Teacher Association (PTA) that is well supported by the Niles community. The PTA sponsors a variety of activities including parent education, fifth grade promotion and much more.
Throughout the year the PTA organizes and coordinates events and activities that help enrich the students academic experiences. Volunteers can participate in a variety of these events and activities including room parent, site committees, Reflections, and more.
Niles PTA invites you to join us in making a difference in the education and quality of life for all our children. PTA meetings are normally held the first Tuesday of each month at 7:00 P.M. virtually on Zoom (for now until we can return to the Library - P6). All are invited and encouraged to attend! You are also encouraged to join the Niles PTA e-group to stay informed with the latest Niles PTA related communications.
Donations always welcome.
Please consider becoming a PTA member
We are looking forward to a year full of new experiences and would appreciate having your support.
