ABOUT PTA
Red Rocks PTA is an organization that supports teachers, parents, and students through various activities and educational opportunities. Parental involvement is extremely important to the academic success of a child and we are very fortunate to have so many parents that are willing to volunteer within and outside the classroom.
Red Rocks PTA organizes many activities throughout the school year. These activities include such favorites as: Reflections, Pumpkin carving contest, Donuts With Dad, Muffins With Mom, Carnival. Stay tuned for changes in the 2020-2021 school year events regarding gatherings.
PTA also supports Red Rocks teachers by giving financial assistance for classroom needs and showing our appreciation through special breakfasts and dinners. Red Rocks PTA communicates to parents and teachers via the weekly Red Rocks Raccoon newsletter, our website, Friday folders, and Facebook. The Red Rocks Elementary PTA Facebook group is a closed group to ensure that all members are part of our community. Request to join today!
Red Rocks parents and teachers are exceptionally welcoming and are always open to new ideas on how to improve our children’s education and extracurricular activities. Please join us in these endeavors in making our children’s school the best it can be.
