What is the PMS Parent Faculty Association (PFA)?

The PMS PFA is a non-profit, volunteer association established to benefit students at Pleasanton Middle School. Any parent or faculty at PMS can join the PMS PFA by filling out the form and paying the membership fee. The PFA brings the staff and parents together to try and improve children’s school experience anyway we can.

The PMS PFA is committed to enhancing the learning environment of our students. This goal is achieved by:

 • Volunteering our time for school events and projects
 • Hosting school spirit functions
 • Fostering communication between parents, staff and the district
 • Fundraising to help meet school needs that are otherwise unfunded

Why join the PFA?

Money raised by membership helps keep the PFA running. It helps fund the school newsletter, which is your primary source of information on school related events. Every membership gets an electronic copy of the student directory.

What about Meetings?

As a PFA member you have the right to attend PFA meetings and vote on PFA decisions. We meet every other month, on the second Thursday of the month at 7:00 PM in the PMS Library. In 2011/2012 the meetings are 9/1, 11/3, 1/19, 2/8 and 5/10. We have meetings to decide how to spend the money we raise, whether to support proposed events and to increase communications among parents and staff. We welcome and encourage PFA members to attend the meetings, but it is not required.
