CARPENTER PTA
The Carpenter PTA is the “Community” in Carpenter Community Charter. The PTA focuses on bringing parents, teachers and families together to help foster community within our school. We host community events, such as the Halloween Carnival and Movie Night. We support Diversity and Inclusion through our dedicated committees, Unity Fair and student assemblies. We support parents with parent education and teachers through teacher appreciation. Come help build community with us.
PTA Meetings
Our association meetings are generally held the third Tuesday of every month at 8:15 AM in Café West. Please refer to the school calendar for the exact dates. All are welcome and we hope to see you there!
Get Involved and Volunteer with Us!
The PTA exists only because of amazing volunteers like you! Every bit of time you give—whether it’s just one hour or one hundred—helps create a stronger, more supportive community for our students.
