Escondido PTA

Escondido Council of PTA's brings together all of the PTA's from the Escondido schools.  We come together to learn and share, to support, encourage and assist. 

 The Purpose of the PTA:

To promote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, community, and place of worship.

To raise the standards of home life.

To secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children and youth.

To bring into closer relation the home and the school, that parents and teachers may cooperate intelligently in the education of children and youth.

To develop between educators and the general public such united efforts as will secure for all children and youth the highest advantages in physical, mental, social, and spiritual education

We believe:

• Every adult has a responsibility to ensure that all children have the opportunity to develop to their full potential
• Parents/guardians are children's first teachers
• Family involvement is essential throughout a child's educational experience
• Family is the basic unit of society responsible for the support and nurturing of all children
• Family may be defined in many ways
• Our collective responsibility includes advocating for the safety, welfare and the opportunity for quality public education for all children
