Our mission is focused on effective family and community engagement: to make every child's potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. We lead EVES PTA using the following strategies:

• ​Strive to be Inclusive, Integrated, Individualized & Impactful in all of our projects.

• Welcome all community members in a way that values their unique strengths, abilities and interests. Create inclusive environments by embracing and valuing diverse perspectives and building intentional, authentic relationships.

• Communicate effectively by listening and deeply understanding the perspectives of our community members; by offering an individualized experience by communicating frequently and through a variety of methods, including personalized outreach; and by using feedback to create programs tailored to families interests and needs.

• Focus on student success by planning PTA programs that are integrated connected and aligned with the broader education system to support student achievement and well-being.

• Identify and advocate for specific school improvements. 

• ​Serve as a resource for parents, helping them navigate the school and community and speak up for our students' unique needs. Create a lasting impact by providing opportunities for families to develop knowledge and skills that will enhance their children's educational experiences.

• Work like a team by sharing power and growing the volunteer pool with different perspectives; resolving conflicts in a positive, productive way; and showing children by example how teamwork can make their world a better place.

• Collaborate with outside organizations or companies and provide a critical link between families, the school and the community. PTA leaders are the champions of school community and pride.
