PTSA Meetings — Tuesday, June 11
June 11’s PTSA meetings will be in person at the Garfield Library, and include a discussion about safety issues and a membership vote on the 2024-25 PTSA budget.
All are welcome.
UPDATE: We will also make a Zoom feed available, although online participation may be limited as people on site may not be able to see/hear the feed. If you are a member of the Garfield community and have not received the link, please email communications@garfieldptsa.org. (Note: We respectfully ask that the news media respect that this meeting is for the Garfield community.)
Come at 6 pm for refreshments and a chance to speak with others, including PTSA Board members. There will be two consecutive meetings open to all in the Garfield community: the General Membership Meeting (at 6:30), and a Board Meeting (to start at about 8 pm). See agenda below.
Read here the difference between a General (Membership) Meeting and a Board Meeting.
While we encourage parents and caregivers to join the PTSA, none of our events or meetings require membership.
