Special Education Committee

Takoma Park Middle School (TPMS) and the TPMS Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) are excited to announce the formation of a Special Education Committee within the PTSA. This committee aims to create a welcoming environment and foster engagement among parents, caregivers, families, and educators of TPMS students receiving special education services and accommodations (e.g., students with IEPs or 504 Plans). It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect with one another, share resources, organize parent-led activities outside of TPMS for our children, and ensure inclusivity at TPMS events.

If you’re interested in receiving communications, please fill out the form. And join us on April 8, for a meetup (this will only happen if there are a sufficient number of interested participants).

[DRAFT] PTSA Bylaws

The PTSA Board presented the proposed updates to the PTSA Bylaws during the March PTSA Meeting. The main updates are to the PTSA Officer positions – the proposal is to decrease the number of Secretaries from 2 (Correspondence and Recording) to one, and to add 3 Vice President positions:
– Executive Vice President (VP) to provide back-up to the President and fill in duties of any vacant VP positions
– VP of Events to oversee the many events the PTSA runs
– VP of Communication to focus on best use of the many modalities of communication to reach our diverse community

PTSA members have until the next meeting in May to review the DRAFT PTSA Bylaws and a vote is requested during the May meeting.

The DRAFT Bylaws can be reviewed at: DRAFT Bylaws

Highlighted in yellow are the areas of the template that the school PTSA is able to edit.
