What do we do? The PTIA provides volunteers and financial support for all kinds of events for our students and teachers, including student clubs and teacher appreciation lunches, student social activities, as well as educational materials. How do we do all of this? With your support and membership dues ($35 Annually/Family)! Please help us help your student, teachers and the school. Click on the Membership link to the left to receive notifications about guest speakers, news, fundraising events and opportunities to volunteer. Mark your calendar & join us via Zoom links sent by Principal Brinks the weekend prior to the meetings and the day of the meeting. PTIA meetings - normally the third Tuesdays of the Month @ 7pm. In our past months during prior school year we had informative updates, attendee ice breakers, Q&A session for Freshman families, learned about graduation plans for seniors, gained insight into report cards at IA, shared feedback on how things are going for students, learned about programs the school has that support students with wellness workshops and tutoring and so much more. We also passed the budget, an addendum and voted on continuing the popular Senior Blanket Gifts and Essay Scholarship programs. All families interested in IA are invited to join in these Zoom calls to meet other IA families and staff to learn what's going on at the school and how to support your students as they progress through IA East. Mr Brinks does a monthly school update at the start of each meeting for families. The Next PTIA Meetings: Schedule will be posted by 8/31 after first mtg on 8/24 During a typical "Non-Virtual/Hybrid" school year, below is a sampling of some of the events we help organize, support or volunteer at for IA EAST.
