About Us

What is the PMS Parent Faculty Association (PFA)?

The PMS PFA is a non-profit, volunteer association established to benefit students at Pleasanton Middle School. Any parent, guardian or faculty at PMS can join the PMS PFA by filling out the form and paying the membership fee.

The PMS PFA is committed to enhancing the learning environment of our students. This goal is achieved by:

-Working closely with the PMS administration, staff, teachers and students

-Communicating information directly to all parents, staff and teachers via a weekly newsletter

-Fundraising to help meet school needs that are otherwise unfunded

-Allocating monies to classrooms, departments, technology upgrades, the school library, student groups, clubs and sports teams

How else can I help?

Why join the PFA?

Money raised by both the membership fees and the generous donations of families helps the PFA budget for items, events and many necessary things that would otherwise go unfunded. Only members of the PFA receive a directory, invaluable when you are trying to contact your students’ classmates for missing assignments. PFA members have voting privileges that allow them to help determine the budget for the school year.  All families receive a weekly newsletter updating them on PMS and school district information.

 

What about meetings?

Anyone can attend a PFA General Meeting.  As a PFA member you are eligible to vote on PFA decisions. We meet every other month, on the second Thursday of the month at 7:00 PM in the PMS Library.  These meetings allow members to allocate the money we raise,to determine community building programs/events and to provide another avenue of communication between parents and PMS administration and faculty.  General information is provided about upcoming school and district events and concerns and questions can be addressed.   We welcome and encourage PFA members to attend these meetings.  Notification of these meetings will be given on the website, in the weekly newsletter and signage in the parking lot.
