PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION

 

2008/2009 Board Roster (PDF)

The Kaiser PTA is a local unit of the Oakland Council, Peralta District of The California Congress of Parents, Teachers, and Students, Inc. At Kaiser our goal is 100% participation among of our families. Membership is obtained through paying District PTA dues.

PTA membership will provide full voting privileges, access to National and State PTA resources and discounts, a Kaiser School Directory, and most importantly, strengthen the PTA voice so that policy makers in all areas will hear a strong, unified message on behalf of our children.

PTA Association meetings are generally held at 7:00 p.m., on the first Wednesday of many month of the school year, unless otherwise changed by the Executive Board.

PTA Board meetings are held the last Wednesday of each month in the library. If there is an item an association member would like to have put on the agenda, they may contact PTA president Janice Murphy. Minutes from the board meetings are kept in the office.

The PTA funds a number of important programs for the school, including:

  • Computer maintenance
  • Our library
  • Health & Safety Instruction
  • Orf Music Program
  • Arts enrichment
  • Teachers assistants and supplies
  • Emergency supplies
  • Parent education workshops

Some of the notable recent accomplishments of the PTA have been the purchase of playground equipment and matting for the school yards.

The work of the PTA is carried out through its Executive Board and through numerous program committees including the following:

  • Arts Enrichment Programs
  • Walk-A-Thon
  • Scholastic Book Fair
  • Fall Auction
  • eScrip Membership
  • Health and Safety
  • Library Committee
  • Gardening and Beautification
  • Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week
  • 5th Grade Graduation Party
  • New Family Welcome Potluck
  • Latino Heritage Potluck
  • Asian New Year Celebration
  • Black History Celebration and Oratorical Fest
  • Family Math Night
  • Family Reading Night

Please notify Principal Stenger or any member of the PTA Board if you would be willing to help out on one of these committees.


The PTA raises funds through a variety of sources, including donations, eScript and memberships. The two annual events that are our largest fund-raisers are the Fall Auction and Spring Walk-A-Thon. Watch for details about these two important events.
