PTA Back-to-School Checklist: 2024-2025 Edition

This is a busy time of year for PTA Leaders with so many things to get done to run your PTA, plan programming for students, and provide support to your school community.

Here at Council we want to help you make sure that a few key "to-do" items don't get overlooked, so we've created the checklist below.

We've included links and resources for these items, but remember, Council is always here to help and support our local Northshore PTA Leaders! Visit our Contact Page to connect with a Council officer.
