Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA)

In both schools and communities PTA volunteers are recognized as leaders and advocates. PTA includes an ever-changing set of volunteers, and developing leadership skills is an important step toward creating successful activities and programs and managing the business needs of the PTA.
For officers, chairmen, and program coordinators, the PTA provides opportunities for both students and adults to become effective leaders. Within this section, you will find tools designed to train new PTA leaders to serve effectively as officers and chairmen.

Dear El Camino Families,
Welcome! We hope all had a healthy and restful summer.The PTSA is excited and ready to work with you. PTSA stands for Parent Teacher Student Association. PTSA is a volunteer association where parents, educators, students, and other citizens can be active in their school and community.
This year the PTSA will focus on parent education and advocating for our El Camino families. We will hold monthly PTSA meetings over Zoom where we will hear from the principal and the student leaders from ASB. Everyone is welcome to join. It is the best way for parents to learn about what is happening at school.
The El Camino PTSA does not fundraise all year like other PTA’s. Our only source of revenue is through membership. Membership is especially important! Please join as a show of support even if you do not have time to participate or volunteer. Joining the PTSA is easy, students and parents can all join through Totem. Here is the link https://jointotem.com/ca/south-san-francisco/el-camino-high-school-ptsa/join
Membership fees ($15 per person) and any additional PTA donation are fully tax deductible. See “Payments” in Totem for your donation receipt for tax purposes. All money raised by the PTSA goes back to the school.
We are having a PTSA membership contest! At the September PTSA meeting we will conduct a random drawing for 4 lucky members to win a $25 Starbucks gift card. For student memberships: the class with the most student members will get $200 added to their graduation class account.
Meetings are held at 7:00 PM on the fourth Tuesday of each month via Zoom. Our first meeting is scheduled for September 26 at 7:00pm. A zoom link will be emailed through Infinite Campus.
We look forward to a great year!
Best Wishes,
El Camino PTSA
