It Takes a Village
The Westlake Elementary School PTA is a 100% volunteer based non-profit organization. We love seeing new faces and meeting new families. New parents, guardians and caregivers are welcome and encouraged to get involved!
Consider teaming up with a friend and joining a committee or start something new! Together we make Westlake Elementary School a great school for our kids and a fun community of families.
