PTAC

Parent, Teacher, Administration Committee

PTAC is the school-wide parent-teacher organization, providing resources and support for the school. Its mission is to develop a positive and welcoming environment for all parents, and to work closely with the school in meeting its current needs. PTAC also nominates parents to serve on the School’s Board.

All parents are automatically members of PTAC. The leadership of PTAC, which includes the clerk of PTAC, head of school, advancement director, one faculty representative, and each class parent, holds monthly meetings during the school year to discuss volunteer needs, special events and activities, and any issues that may arise.

The committee organizes and hosts school-wide meetings in the middle of each academic term (3 per year). At these meetings discussions may include, but are not limited to, upcoming school events, fundraisers, and other items brought to the attention of the committee by the parents, administration and faculty.

The parent organization has as its goals to:

• Promote quality education and a true partnership between home and school
• Encourage community involvement through the various volunteer opportunities at BFS
• Expand extracurricular activities for our children
• Support the faculty and administration

PTAC is also responsible for organizing special fundraising efforts and programs, including but not limited to:

• Back-to-School Night
