PTA Board Mission and Goals

PTA's mission is to make every child's potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for al children.

Local unit PTAs like the Cypress Elementary PTA, work within their own schools to enrich the educational experience for students, support families,

and build community. We raise funding for materials, after-school programs, field trips, assemblies and more, and organize dozens of volunteers every year to help make Cypress the great school it is. In addition, we are connected to the California State PTA and the National PTA, both of which provide powerful lobbying efforts on behalf of all children. For more than 100 years, PTA has been at the forefront of issues affecting children, parents and public schools. PTA is credited with lobbying for establishing Kindergarten in public schools, hot lunch programs, juvenile justice and child-labor laws, school bus safety and TV ratings efforts, to name a few. 

Enrich Student Learning:
Support students, parents, and teachers with programs and events that enhance the total learning environment, both academically and socially, by providing opportunities such as after-school activities, foreign languages, assemblies, grants, and funds for field trips and classroom support.

Promote Communication, Collaboration, and Advocacy:

• Collaborate with families, students, school staff and the community to promote the health, education, and safety of Cypress student
• Build community within Cypress through good communication, parenting support, and active parent participation at school.
• Inform our membership about legislative and other governmental issues affecting the care and education of children.
