By enrolling in this program, your PTA and school administrators are making a year-long commitment in identifying and implementing an action plan for school improvement based on  PTA's National Standards for Family-School Partnerships .

As part of the process, National PTA requests feedback from families at two points in the school year, the beginning and the end. Your feedback is essential and will help National PTA generate a customized Roadmap to Excellence, providing specific recommendations for improving our family-school partnership and achieving excellence.
