Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cost to join the PTA?
The current price is $12 per person. This is an annual dues to support our PTA. A small portion of your dues goes to the California PTA and we get to keep the rest.
What do PTA funds get used for?
Funds are used to provide as many free family events, teacher grants, and on campus student events as we can each year. PTA funds are also used for staff appreciation week, 5th grade promotion, and various other needs such as the recent replacement of our broken marquee.
How can I donate?
The best way is to donate via check, cash, or PayPal. This will ensure the greatest percentage of your donation goes straight back to students. Our PayPal link is accessible on our home page or on our "Donations" page in our "Fundraising" section of the website. Checks can be mailed to our mailing address in our "Contact Us" section. For cash donations, please email [email protected].
How can I volunteer?
Please visit our "volunteering" section of our website for detailed descriptions of the various ways you can volunteer. There are 3 main ways... become an executive board member (run the PTA year-round), become a chair member (run a specific event), or be a member at large (volunteer to support specific events). Email [email protected] to volunteer!
Do I need experience to volunteer?
No! We will train you in the areas where you would like to volunteer. The BH PTA is made up of parents/guardians and staff from Breeze Hill. Many parents/guardians have regular careers and volunteer in their spare time to help make their child's elementary journey memorable. Other family or friends are also welcome to volunteer as well!
If I volunteer, will I be stuck in a commitment?
That depends on you! There are many ways to volunteer. Some roles require a year-long commitment (executive board members), some require about a month-long commitment (chair members), and some only require a one-day commitment (at large members). The choice is up to you. We are happy to respect your boundaries if you express them!
When are the PTA Meetings?
Members at Large and the general public are invited to attend our 3 association meetings (fall/winter/spring). Chair members and board members are invited to attend our monthly executive board meetings. The best way to get in the know is to join as a chair or board member so you can attend monthly meetings and stay ahead of the events. See the "Meeting Schedule" section of our website for dates.
When are the PTA elections?
We hold our elections in the Spring for the following school year. If positions are still available we may hold a secondary election in the Fall. Each year ALL positions are up for election. Members may only hold the same position if they are re-elected each year. Per PTA rules, some positions have a maximum number of years you may consecutively serve in that particular position. As long as positions are still available, you may join as a board member or a chair member at any time even if you miss the elections.
What is the best way to contact the Breeze Hill PTA?
Email is best! Please email [email protected]. Please remember we are working parents/guardians who volunteer in our spare time. It may take a day or two for a response. Thank you for understanding!
