Palomar Council PTA

Palomar Council PTA serves 28 local PTA Units in the Poway Unified School District (PUSD). Our goal is to inform and inspire our local units so they can achieve their goals. We provide ongoing training and support of unit officers, and encourage their advocacy and legislative efforts. Palomar Council is the liaison between the units and PUSD, PUSD School Board and the Poway Federation of Teachers Union. We also assist district PTA leaders in the organizing of new PTA units. Our programs include Adopt-a-Family (helping families in need during the holidays), Reflections (a state-side art competition), an Awards & Grants program, and an annual High School College Fair. Council General Meetings are held the 1st Tuesday of September, November, January, March and May. Please see the Calendar tab for more information. All Unit Presidents or your unit representative are encouraged to attend. We look forward to seeing you!

The PTA is an important connection between school and families. Here are a few things you can do to stay connected and add value to your members:

★ Contact your school’s principal. Ask what the PTA/PTSA can do to help the school. Ask the principal to partner with you to reach families in the school’s emails/callouts to parents.

★ Start a PTA Facebook account or other social media if you haven’t already. Share important information to promote your PTA. Post helpful information to generate interest.

★ Consider upgrading your Zoom account or other teleconferencing software to connect with parents virtually. PTA can continue virtual board and association meetings until the end of 2021 without updating our bylaws.
