Partnerships

The CCPTA Partnerships Committee encourages and facilitates collaboration between Arlington schools and PTAs/PTSAs. The primary goal of the CCPTA Partnerships Committee is to help Arlington schools and PTAs/PTSAs work together to share resources and support one another.

Partnership efforts may include:

• Lasting and meaningful relationships between individual schools

• Joint efforts between schools and PTAs/PTSAs to support initiatives that benefit multiple communities

• CCPTA facilitated programs across Arlington schools and PTAs/PTSAs to support Arlington families and schools

• Food/Book/Clothing drives

• Peer leadership support

• Partnerships in community events (park meetups, group efforts such as chalking central library for reading, cleaning up parks for Earth Day, etc.)

Through partnerships and collaborations, the CCPTA Partnerships Committee endeavors to provide mutual benefits through shared experiences, increased opportunities for students, the fostering of extended communities, and creating opportunities for students and families from different schools to come together. CCPTA believes that a larger sense of community can ease transitions during boundary changes; that bringing PTA/PTSA leadership teams together will help both new and existing leaders develop strengths; and that school communities working as a team will enrich the social and academic experiences of students at each school beyond the ability of a single PTA/PTSA working within its individual APS-designated community.

CCPTA Partnerships: School and PTA/PTSA Questionnaire: In order to keep the CCPTA Partnerships Committee up to date on your latest school and PTA/PTSA community support efforts, please take a few minutes to provide your updated status and any needs we can help out with. Thank you for all your support for Arlington families!

As a reminder, please exercise caution and restraint when it comes to how PTA/PTSA funds are spent, and comply with Virginia PTA guidance.

• • PTAs/PTSAs are not permitted to raise money for other organizations or individuals.

  • PTAs/PTSAs can publicize efforts that are being undertaken to raise money for other organizations or individuals, but no money can go through the PTA’s/PTSA's account in this scenario. For example, PTAs/PTSAs may not purchase gift cards to be given to individuals or families.

  • PTAs/PTSAs may share funds with other PTAs/PTSAs. You can do this by adding a line-item for "community efforts" to your yearly budget.
