PTA Overview

We are parents, faculty, neighbors, and businesses that support the students and Caraway Elementary. We are part of Texas PTA and National PTA.

  The mission of PTA is three-fold:

·        to support and speak on behalf of children and youth in the schools, in the community and before governmental agencies and other organizations that make decisions affecting children;

·        to assist parents in developing skills they need to raise and protect their children; and

·        to encourage parent and public involvement in the public schools of this nation

 The objectives of the PTA are:

·        To promote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, community, and place of worship.

·        To raise the standards of home life.

·        To secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children and youth.

·        To bring a closer relationship between the home and school, that parents and teachers may cooperate intelligently in the education of children and youth.

·        To develop between educators and the public such united efforts that will secure for all children and youth the highest advantage in physical, mental, social, and spiritual education.
