What is PTB?

PTB stands for Parents and Teachers of Bartlett, an organization that is an important part of Bartlett Elementary School. Your opinions, ideas, and help are always welcome.

Mission Statement
The objectives of the PTB shall be to improve our children's lives through intelligent cooperation between parents and teachers and to bring together the home and the school.

Membership and Dues

If you want your opinion to count, hear what other parents think, hear what the teachers want, or what the principal has to say, then please join the PTB. Your $5 family membership fee goes directly to the students and gives you the right to vote at our monthly meetings. If you haven't joined yet, but would like to, you can send in your check payable to the PTB, with your family name on a piece of paper, and designate it for PTB Membership.

Volunteer today!

You can be a greater part of your child's life by making your opinions heard and by participating in what he/she does. If you want your child to know that their school is important to you, please consider volunteering. Just 3 hours a school year for each family gives us 1,800 volunteer hours.

We can use help from you at home if you can not come to school by cutting and sorting box tops and labels or by making phone calls for materials and donations for our events. We could use your help at Family Events, as well as in school for activities like Picture Day, Vision/Hearing screening day, library helper and much more.
