ABOUT THE BURNING TREE PTA
The Burning Tree Elementary School PTA represents an effective partnership between school, home and the community. PTA volunteers, programs, and funds support BT staff and families, and enhance the MCPS curriculum. The PTA also advocates for issues that impact our children to the Board of Education and Montgomery County Council through our Whitman Cluster Group.
The Principal, teacher representatives, and PTA officers comprise the Executive Board. The duties of the PTA Executive Board include planning the PTA calendar, creating standing and special committees, and supervising the various committees which provide programs and events to the BT community.
PTA meetings are typically held in the Media Center at Burning Tree on the first Tuesday of the month. Please refer to the school calendar for exact dates and times. Free, on-site childcare is provided for children 4 years old and older. Generally, a program of interest to the parent community is offered at every PTA meeting. The principal, members of the executive board as well as committee chairs report on school news and events. The community is welcome, and parents are encouraged to participate in these discussions. Please note that only PTA members may vote on school-related issues. By contacting an executive board member, any PTA member may request that an item be included for discussion on any PTA meeting agenda. Questions or concerns may also be raised as New Business during any PTA meeting.
