California State PTA
California State PTA connects families, schools and communities. We are part of the foundation of our public-education system and a trusted messenger to millions of members, parents, families, educators and allied agencies throughout the state. PTA is the nation’s largest volunteer-led child-advocacy association working to drive improvements in the education, health and well-being of all children and families.
We believe every adult has a responsibility to ensure that all children develop to their full potential. We believe parents are children’s first teachers and that parent involvement is essential throughout a child’s educational experience. We believe that family is the basic unit of society responsible for the support and nurturing of all children, and we recognize that “the family” may be defined in many ways. We believe our responsibility includes advocating for the safety and welfare of all children and the opportunity for a quality public education for each child.
We’re also part of National PTA – the largest child advocacy association in America.
California Unified Council PTSA
Capistrano Unified Council of PTSA (CUCPTSA) represents more than 15,000 members from 52 schools’ PTA/PTSA units in Capistrano Unified School District. Our primary goal is to empower unit PTAs to advocate on behalf of our students through Legislative, Community Advisory Committee (CAC) and Art Advocacy programs. These programs provide parents with resources, information about district programs, and advocacy updates that benefit our children and school communities.
The main purpose of CUCPTSA is to provide support, guidance and resources to our school unit PTAs to assist them in providing programs that will enhance the educational experience of our students and strengthen the home-school connection. We also look to acknowledge the amazing work of our students, teachers, and staff district- wide through our Reflections Program, Special Education Sunshine Awards and College Fair.
