Carrolltowne Elementary School

PTA

Welcome to Carrolltowne Elementary School, home of the Cardinals! Carrolltowne is a wonderful school whose students are among the finest in the state. We have a superb facility that works together with parents, volunteers, and the community to ensure the best education for our children. Carrolltowne is a community of learners and we encourage parents to become involved in our community. We welcome you as your brin with you an untapped reservoir of ideas. Please join the PTA, volunteer in any way you can, and you will find that your interest and enthusiasm are contagious.

Our PTA meets monthly throughout the school year. Our meetings are normally held on the first Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Media Center. Snacks are available and the meetings rarely go past 8:00 p.m. You are always welcome at our monthly meetings. If there is an item you wish to have brought up at the meeting but can not make it, you may contact any board member or Mrs. Martin (4th Grade), the teacher representative. Additionally, our newsletter, The Crier, will come home every other month, which contains PTA and school information.

If we can assist you in anyway, please feel free to contact us at any time. We have a mailbox in the office for notes or send us an email.
