Parent Teacher Student Association

The Parent Teacher Student Association, almost always abbreviated to PTSA or incorrectly to PTA, is IPoly's volunteer association.

Purpose
PTSA's official general purpose is to help pay for items or services such as school supplies. PTSA often holds fundraisers to help with this task.

Structure
While PTSA is meant to be an active group of all parents, teachers, and students in the school, it is not. Very few students become members and even fewer come to PTSA meetings.

Executive Board
The Executive Board is a council of six PTSA parents that have been elected to certain positions on the council. These positions are President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Membership Coordinator, Communications, Hospitality, Fundraising, and SIC Liaison. Before the 2017-2018 school year, the Executive Board only had a President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer. At the beginning of every school year, school-wide elections are held. However, students rarely have a real vote as most parents run unopposed. After elections are counted, a list of winners is sent to the principal for approval.

Student Involvement Committee
The Student Involvement Committee is a sub-committee that would aid PTSA in getting the student body to engage with PTSA. The committee is not officially disbanded, but no official meetings have been held since the start of the 2018-2019 school year.
