Let’s clear up one of the biggest PTA myths: joining does not require you to volunteer, attend meetings, or take on a role.

By joining, you support Seawell students and strengthen our school community. Each member adds a unique voice and helps us better reflect our community. Membership gives you a say in PTA decisions, including how we allocate our funds and who we elect as officers.

Help us ensure that our priorities reflect your hopes for your family’s experience at Seawell.

🍀 4-H is coming to Seawell!

Seawell PTA is excited to partner with Orange County 4-H as we work to build a new 4-H club centered around our Learning Garden and Critter Corner.

This partnership will bring new resources, hands-on learning opportunities, and ways for students and families to help care for two very special parts of our campus.

We’re looking for families and community members who are interested in helping us get it started, whether you’re ready to jump in or just want to learn more.
