A warm welcome to all parents from the Lockwood Parent Teacher Association.  We look forward to spending time with you and your children in this 2006-2007 school year.

What is PTA?
The Lockwood PTA is a group of parents, teachers, school staff and community members who have one mission in mind, to support or speak on behalf of children and youth in the schools. We believe in making a bridge between school and parents for open communication and that all children need to be safe. We speak for them in the schools, communities, on a state level and on a national level as well.

When does PTA meet?
The Lockwood PTA meets the first Tuesday of the month from 7-8pm in the school cafeteria to support the children of Lockwood. There is a guest speaker at each meeting and child care is provided at no charge, refreshments are served, and door prizes are available for members and children.

Listed below are the projects you can volunteer for or donate to. Feel free to list what you would like to do below each one and turn this form back in to your school secretary.
