About Walden PTSA
Our Mission and Goals
The Walden PTSA's mission is to foster collaboration among parents, teachers, and students to create the best academic and learning environment for our children. Our goals are to build parent involvement to aid our mission, and to establish good communication between the home and school.
Meetings
The Walden PTSA meets on the third Tuesday of each month (see the calendar for exact dates) at 6:30 p.m. in the teachers' lounge in the west wing, room 216. From the breezeway entrance on the north side of the school, go right, up a flight of stairs, and into the first door on the right.
A staff person often attends the meetings and this can be an effective way to communicate questions or concerns.
