MeetingsThe PTA holds a monthly meeting (General PTA Meeting - see schedule) where all are invited. The meetings have a report from Principal Nancy, a financial report of the PTA, and address current issues concerning the school & PTA. Attendance is encouraged to stay in the know about happenings at the school and to meet with other Spruce parents.
GovernanceThe PTA is governed by the Spruce PTA by-laws, written/updated by the PTA Executive Board (EB) and filed with the Department of Education (DOE) of the State of New York. The PTA EB are volunteer parents elected to perform the roles needed to run the PTA, a Delaware 501(c)3 Nonprofit.

FundingThe PTA spends hundreds of thousands of dollars every year on programs and events for every child in every grade. Many of the activities and programs would not be possible without the funding from the PTA. There is no obligation on the part of parents to donate to the PTA, however, the PTA can only exist with your support.
InvolvementGet involved. Volunteer your time. Come to meetings. Read the minutes. Fill out an SLT card giving your thoughts. Jump in and help. Ask questions. Donate when you're able. The PTA makes wonderful investments in our children and our community.
