Why Join Tesla STEM PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association)?
While Tesla STEM (as a public school) is free to attend, parental involvement helps maintain the level of excellent education that our students receive. PTSA is the platform to provide this support!
To supplement the school budget provided by the school district, it is common practice for school PTSAs to raise funds for programs and grants that complement the school’s curriculum. While we are fortunate to have high-quality educators at Tesla STEM, it's essential to understand that access to state-of-the-art equipment and resources helps our children reach their full potential. However, achieving this comes with a significant price tag.
The school district ensures equitable treatment among all high schools within its jurisdiction. As a PTSA, we provide additional support to help all Tesla students receive a world-class education. Tesla STEM's high rating (currently ranked #3 nationally in US News and World Report) is in part a result of the exceptional support the community offers, both in terms of time and financial contributions.
PTSA donations provide grants that further enhance the curriculum. PTSA funds are also used for staff appreciation events, fund student scholarships, host a variety of speakers to discuss relevant topics, subsidize Senior Celebration, hold community building events, etc.
The grants are made possible by generous donations received from our families.
Watch how your contributions enhance the educational experiences of our students!
There is no right or wrong way to be involved - anything you can give, whether time or money will support your child's potential.
