Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

The SSIS Parent Teacher Association (PTA) would like to welcome you all to the 2009-2010 school year. When you join our PTA, you join a community that encourages student achievement and enriches our children’s learning environment. We believe that building a bridge between our families and our school is key to our children’s academic success.  We advocate for all children, but the best voice your child can have is yours. Getting involved shows them you care about their education and well-being. Plus, there is no better way to find out what is happening at SSIS than joining the PTA. I strongly urge all members to attend the association meetings and participate in making decisions that affect your child.
