Building Representative Responsibilities

1. Serve as the liaison between PTA and your respective building.
2. Communicate with principal, teachers, staff, and parents of your building to keep them up-to-date on PTA happenings and to answer any questions they might have.
3. Attend monthly PTA meetings and provide brief verbal summaries of the activities going on in your building.
4. Find out the events being planned by your building and talk with planners of those events to see if they would like PTA to help them out somehow. Present the event and what part PTA would need to play in the event during the next PTA meeting. Budget consideration and possible vote will occur.
5. Assist with fundraising efforts occurring in your building whenever necessary.
6. Ask principal/teachers in your building if they would like to do any sort of presentation at/after a PTA meeting, e.g. if Ms. Tummons would like to have any children perform a musical number or if Ms. Brown would like to talk with the PTA members about her literacy program. Let one of the officers know your plans so they can be added to.
