CRAGMONT PTA
The Cragmont PTA is a school-based, non-profit organization that supports our school and children in a variety of ways. We fund enrichment programs, specialized support for some students, supplies for all teachers, and we also organize a series of community-building events each year. Finally, we sponsor a rich array of after school enrichment classes. We have a lot of fun making our school the best it can possibly be!

MONTHLY MEETINGS
Typically, PTA meetings are held on weekday evenings via Zoom. Pre-COVID, PTA meetings were held the third Thursday of each month in the school’s library. Dinner and childcare were historically provided for your convenience for in-person meetings. Check the calendar on the homepage for the most up to date PTA meeting information.
We would love to have everyone attend. We need your ideas, organizing, and general help! There are so many ways to be involved here at Cragmont that fit all levels of availability.
