CWES PTA Informational Programs and
Membership Meetings
The Canterbury Woods PTA sponsors evening programs throughout the school year on topics and issues of interest to parents and teachers. Contact us if you have questions about a planned topic, or ideas for future programs.
Our General Membership Meetings, similarly, focus on a theme or main topic relating to the operations of the PTA; all PTA members and prospective members are invited. PTA members are also welcome to attend Organizational Meetings of PTA officers and committee chairs.
All meetings are held in the Canterbury Woods cafeteria unless otherwise indicated.
