The 26/27 PTA needs YOU!

The Seth Boyden PTA depends on dedicated volunteers to help it uphold its mission to support the enrichment of our students and teachers. We are looking for people to support the committees that help keep things running next year. Our goal is to invite a strong parent/caregiver body that truly represents our diverse student community.

You can learn more about these roles, and other non-elected roles, at this page on the Seth Boyden PTA website. If you have any questions or are interested in joining us next year, please fill out this form or reach out to this year’s Nominating Committee volunteers at nominations@sethboyden.com. Thank you!
