PTA GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETINGS
Meetings are held monthly on Thursdays from 6:30 - 8pm, either in person or on Zoom (not hybrid). Please refer to calendar above.
Open to all HSMSE parents and guardians, the PTA General Membership meetings include updates from our Principal or Assistant Principals and the PTA Executive Board. Most meetings also include a themed presentation, guest speaker and discussion to help parents engage with their children’s education and prepare for college.
PTA BUDGET
Each spring, the PTA Executive Board reviews the expenses of the previous school year, to determine anticipated expenses for the upcoming school year. Once approved by the Executive Board, the budget is presented to the General Membership at the last PTA meeting of the school year for approval. Approval of the budget means our parent body has committed to raising the funds, whether by personal donations or fundraising initiatives.
At the May 2024 meeting, the General Membership of the HSMSE PTA approved a $342,000 operating budget for the 2024-25 academic year.
