WHat is the purpose of ptu?

The purpose of the PTU is to:

Foster a close relationship between the parents/guardians and teachers
Preserve the care, cooperation, and spirituality that is such an important part of the Catholic school community
Increase parental involvement in our school through various activities and fundraisers, which ultimately benefit the students of St. Mary of the Assumption School
Raise funds in order to carry out activities that enrich, promote and support the education of the students.

what are the goals of ptu?

Fundraising – The PTU will run various fundraising activities and events to provide funding for the school for needs not covered by the school’s budget. The PTU will vote as to how the funds are spent.
Support – The PTU will support the school, faculty and staff, classrooms, and students. The PTU organizes volunteers for all PTU activities and events.
Community Building – The PTU may sponsor activities that have the sole purpose of building community within our school. These activities may not result in any profit. Any income brought in by the activities may only cover the cost of the activity. The purpose is to provide fun activities for the families and children.
Education – The PTU provides support to the school by providing funding for enrichment programs and technology enhancements. The PTU may also provide support to the school by sponsoring education programs for parents and students.

Caring ANgels

The goal of the St. Mary's PTU Caring Angels is to bring comfort and support to families in extreme circumstances such as student injury / surgery, severe illness, hospitalization, death of a loved one / immediate family member, or families in need of prayers. Families in need of support should notify their homeroom teacher of an issue occurring in the family or contact Caring Angels Chairperson. Our biggest concern is that someone is missed. Some families may not notify the homeroom teachers, but they may share it with you, so please help us out!

Volunteers

We are asking each family donate their time to at least 1 PTU sponsored event this school year. Contact a PTU member for details or click the link above to sign up!
