About the THoreau PTG & mission

The Thoreau PTG (Parent Teacher Group) consists of all parent/guardians of enrolled students, faculty, and staff at the Thoreau Elementary School. Our meetings and events are open to the entire Thoreau School community. We encourage everyone to become as engaged as possible.  The Thoreau PTG works with parents, teachers, staff, school administrators, and community members to achieve the many facets of its Mission Statement.  

• Instill the positive message of the “Thoreau C.A.R.E.S.” school spirit.
• Enhance educational, cultural, and social opportunities of the Thoreau School students.
• Provide an open forum for parents, faculty, staff, and administration of the Thoreau School to meet and to facilitate communication on matters affecting the school community.
• Sponsor and provide funds for specific programs and activities that benefit students, families and teachers.
• Serve as a liaison between the parent community and the school system administration.
• Build relations between the Thoreau School and the outside community.
• Educate the Thoreau community on policy or other matters that may affect the community.
• Serve as a resource for parents in the understanding of school policies and practices.
