Join the Fields Road PTA Today!

The Fields Road PTA would like to welcome new and returning parents to our school community. Fields Road Elementary School has enjoyed a proud history of active parent involvement and we invite you to join us in making a difference in the education and quality of school life of our children.

Our PTA is active in four important areas: Enrichment, Communications, Fundraising, and Social. We publish a monthly newsletter with valuable information concerning Fields Road. Last, but not least, the PTA publishes an extremely helpful Parent Handbook and Directory which reviews school rules and regulations, and offers contact information for the staff, children and parents of the Fields Road community.

If you are new to our school, we hope you will take this opportunity to join the PTA. If you are a returning member, we look forward to your continued support. You can join the PTA by paying membership dues of $5.00 for a family membership. Send the dues and your name, address and phone number to the school to the attention of the PTA Membership Chairperson. Once you have joined, one Parent Handbook and Directory will be provided with the individual membership and two will be provided with the family membership. Payment can be made in the form of cash or check payable to Fields Road PTA. Please do not hesitate to contact Julianne Pasco if you should have any questions.

We need your support.  Consider joining the PTA Executive Board!!
