Aldridge PTA Board Interest Forms Are Open!

As the Aldridge PTA President next year, I am excited to begin building a strong team to support our school community!

Our PTA thrives on meaningful partnerships between families, teachers, and staff — and we’re looking for great Ocelots to help lead the way next year!

If you’re interested in getting more involved, building community, and supporting the programs and experiences that make our school special, we’d love to hear from you. No prior PTA experience needed — just a heart for Aldridge and a willingness to work as part of a team.

https://forms.gle/QSkxsnm64b5fEKaq7


Have questions or want to learn more about the different roles? I’m happy to help — feel free to reach out anytime.
