About the Parent-Teacher association (PTA)

The mission of the Special Music School PTA is to create a warm and welcoming community for all students and families while providing essential support for the school and its faculty. We accomplish these goals through a roster of engaging events, monthly meetings, and fundraising initiatives. All parents and guardians of SMS students and all SMS teachers are automatically members of the PTA.

The objectives of the Special Music School PTA are:

• to provide support and resources to the school for the benefit and educational growth of the students;
• to promote and help develop a cooperative working relationship between the parents and guardians, teachers, and staff of our school;
• to develop parent and guardian community leadership and build capacity for greater family involvement;
• to foster and encourage community engagement on all levels; and
• to provide opportunities and training for parents and guardians to participate in school governance and decision-making.

The Executive Board is a small group of SMS PTA members who are elected each year to lead the PTA in meeting the above objectives. The Executive Board works together and with the general membership, and coordinates with class/advisory representatives, with school faculty and staff, and with Kaufman Music Center staff. Executive Board members attend periodic Executive Board meetings and General PTA meetings.
