About the Kaiser Elementary PTA

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 6:30 p.m., on the first Wednesday of any 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 Renee Sanchez. Minutes from the board meetings are kept in the office.
