Welcome to the Van Sciver Elementary School PTA Website
Our school community truly needs the PTA's support now more than ever. The PTA aims to enhance our children's educational journey at Van Sciver, but we can't achieve this without help. We are looking for volunteers to help us run events and fund important resources like the library, class trips, dances, recess carts, playground improvements, and more. If you're interested in lending your time or skills, please check the list below and contact Stephanie Jennetta at stephaniejennetta@gmail.com or Jackie Reeves at jackiereeves12@gmail.com.

What does the PTA do?
Our PTA supports Van Sciver Elementary School by fundraising, advocating for children, and promoting family engagement. We organize activities, raise funds for capital improvement projects, and volunteer within the school community to enrich students' lives and enhance the overall school environment.
