Welcome!
As Kocurek parents, we want our kids to be successful. By joining the PTA, you can show your children school matters and that you are invested in their experience. It has been proven kids learn better when parents, teachers and community work together. Kocurek PTA hopes to bring these groups together to share ideas on how to create programs and activities that benefit our student body.
Some parents of Kocurek Koalas may not realize it, but the Kocurek Elementary PTA does a lot more than throw fun parties and awesome fundraisers.
Here are some of the things we do to support our teachers, enhance our students’ education, make Kocurek’s campus the best that it can be, and strengthen our community’s bonds between parents, teachers and students.
