Uniform Policy
PTA Corner
Our goal this year is to have 100% of our families and staff join our PTA. We will have grade level competitions with prizes for the students! Joining PTA benefits our school in so many ways. With membership dues and funds raised, PTA sponsors class field trips, purchases learning materials for classrooms, purchases shirts for clubs and for field day, provides treats and gifts for our hard-working staff, and supplies classrooms with learning materials.
There are levels of memberships that included tiers of benefits. Click here to learn more: https://alburrusspta.memberhub.com/store
PTA Presidents: Cris Hunt and Victoria Brown
PTA Vice Presidents: Bernard Jarroush, Stormy Webster, and Britney Wilson
PTA Secretary: Daysha Mayfield
PTA Treasurer: Scott Durham
