Support Rogers PTA … Where Everybody Belongs
Join now!
Welcome back Mustangs! Looking for a great way to be informed and to advocate for your child? Join Rogers’ PTA! It’s a great way for you to stay connected with your child’s school. Joining does not obligate you to attend meetings or volunteer. If you would like to attend, though, the meetings offer an opportunity to meet other parents and staff. Many of Rogers’ teachers attend the PTA meetings. PTA sponsors guest speakers on a quarterly basis which may coincide with the general PTA meetings. This year, we will be hosting four General PTA Meetings on a quarterly basis as shown:
Tuesday, September 25 at 7:45pm – Rogers Back To School Night: Introduction the PTA & Welcome to the 2018-19 School Year
Tuesday, November 13 at 9:15am – Fundraising Discussion, the Mustang Drive and How You Can Help!
Tuesday, January 15 at 7pm – Nominating Discussion, Preparing for Next Year’s PTA
Tuesday, March 19 at 9:15am – Election Meeting and End of Year Summary
What Does the Rogers PTA Do?
PTA provides funding for classroom/school enhancements that LBUSD no longer provides. Over the past few years, we’ve purchased Chromebooks for the classrooms, overhead projectors for every classroom, new PE equipment, and this year we are funding our WEB program. Computer resources, grade level field trips, and activity days for the students are also supported through PTA. We are your resource for PE clothing and Mustang spirit wear as well. Our goal for the 2018-19 school year is to continue to support our teachers and students with programs that improve our Culture and Climate.

How are the dues allocated?

You can also make a gift donation of which 100% remains entirely with the Rogers PTA and goes directly to supporting the school.
Look for our weekly email blast to come to you through school loop. You may also visit www.RogersMiddleSchoolPTA.com for officer contact information, our event calendar, and opportunities to participate or donate.
