Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA)
What is PTSA?
Parent Teacher Student Association was established in the 2005-2006 school year, with the help of Dr. Dwight Fowler, and the parents of School Without Walls. It is an organization made of parents, teachers, and students of the school that meets to discuss current events revolving around the school, and the Rochester City School District. Meetings are every second Thursday of the month and all are welcome.
