The Oakland Technical High School Parent-Teacher-Student Association (PTSA) provides a forum for parents, guardians, teachers, students, staff and community members to share ideas and concerns for the betterment of Oakland Tech. Meetings are usually held the 2nd Monday of the month in the Library at 7 p.m. (unless it falls on a holiday or staff development day), and are a great way to learn about your child’s school.
Membership in the PTSA is $10 per person ($5 for students and staff), and various fundraising activites such as the Silent and Live Auction in the Spring provides additional income to the PTSA. Funds raised by the PTSA are returned to the school in the form of mini-grants and support for major projects.
The PTSA produces a periodic school newsletter, Bulldog Bytes, that is mailed or emailed to parents’ homes, and a weekly email newsletter, Bullhorn. More information about PTSA communications can be found here.
The PTSA forms standing and ad hoc subcommittees, such as hospitality, fundraising, technology, mentoring, community outreach, health services and student clubs. Parent Patrol provides additional adult presence in the halls and the grounds. More information about the Committees may be found here.
