FERNBANK PTA

what we do

Our job as the PTA is to advocate on behalf of our students, and to make their experience and our teachers’ jobs more enjoyable, enriching, and rewarding. We also encourage a sense of community amoung our Fernbank families.

Getting involved with PTA gives parents an opportunity to engage with one another while ensuring that Fernbank is an outstanding school!

getting involved

We are involved in so many things at Fernbank so we are always looking for parental support! We have created a volunteer survey to give you an idea of the kind of help we are looking for. We have also created a volunteer page so you can browse all the parent groups and committees we have at Fernbank. There is a place for you!
