PTA Meetings
PTA meetings are open to all Bret Harte families, friends, neighbors, teachers, staff, and anyone else that wants to support our school. These meetings are a great way to stay informed about school programs, upcoming events, and ways to support our students and teachers.
We encourage parents and caregivers to attend, share ideas, and help shape the activities and programs supported by the Bret Harte PTA.
