What is PFA?
Parent Faculty Association. Traditionally, school associations served as a conduit of communication between parents, teachers and the school administration. These associations also encouraged and enabled parent involvement in the functioning of the school, providing an avenue of input on class curricula, and school activities.
The PFA of Sumac L-STEM Elementary, which includes parents of Sumac students, as well as all members of the faculty, continues to serve this function as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. However, the severity of the California budget crisis and the inability of the state to properly support public education have significantly altered the mission of the PFA. Key aspects of your child’s elementary education would have been eliminated if it were not for the PFA financing provided to our school.
The PFA Council meets on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 6:30pm in the Teacher’s Lounge and is open to all parents and faculty. As a parent/guardian of a Sumac student, you are invited and encouraged to attend the meetings. PFA representatives welcome questions and are in a position to assist parents and teachers.
