Board and Committees


PTA Meetings
The TSES PTA Meetings are held monthly and anyone is welcome and encouraged to attend - Parents, adult family members, grandparents and neighbors. Come see how PTA business is done, bring your ideas and questions, and meet other TSES parents and community members.
At TSES PTA Meetings, the Board Members, Principal, Staff Representatives and Committee Chairs give reports about what they’ve been working on and they share their plans, ideas, and questions or concerns that have come up. When applicable, votes are held on various issues. Current PTA Members are eligible to vote.
TSES PTA Meetings are typically held on the third Thursday of every month at 7 pm in the TSES Media Center (or virtually via Zoom). Check out our calendar of events here for exact dates.
Afraid to attend because you don't have childcare? Don't let that be a barrier! Children of attendees can play quietly together nearby.
Interested in what is happening but still unable to attend? Check out our meeting minutes here to stay informed.
