PTA School of Excellence: The Whiteley PTA has applied to be a School of Excellence. We will be identifying and implementing an action plan based on the National PTA Standards for family-school partnership. We would appreciate your participation in a brief survey to help us identify where to focus our goals this school year. The survey is anonymous. Thank you for your time. https://forms.gle/DcaqPnKXuRvi3tMP7
