About the TISA PTA
The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a group of parents, guardians, teachers and support staff who work together to aid TISA’s mission to engageempower, and inspire the students and greater TISA community.
The PTA works closely with TISA to build a partnership between our families and our school. We believe that together we can help our children and the TISA community be successful.
The PTA helps to:
  • Support TISA students and families
  • Host student and family events throughout the year.
  • Raise much needed funds for local charitable initiatives through the Parent Action Network (PAN).
  • Arrange teacher and staff appreciation 
Whether you are new to the school or you have been here for a while, the PTA is so glad to have you as part of our wonderful TISA Community.
