Dove PTA

As Dove is consolidated into other schools, make sure you take a moment to connect with your new PTA. Here are a few of the primary places our students are headed, but if your family ends up somewhere else, please take a moment to get connected and get involved. Our children's futures are dependent on it.

Joining a National PTA or local PTA/PTO can benefit children academically, socially, and emotionally because it increases family engagement in school life. Decades of education research consistently show that when families are involved in schools, students perform better, including:
1. Higher Academic Achievement
2. Better Graduation Rates
3. Improved Attendance and Behavior
4. Stronger Social and Emotional Development
5. Increased Student Confidence and Advocacy Skills
6. Benefits Extend Across Income Levels and Backgrounds
7. PTA Participation Helps Schools Offer More Opportunities

MAY 2026 - VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH
by Dove PTA President, Patty Thompson

Picking just one person to be volunteer of the month feels wrong, so I’m not doing it. Instead, I’m sharing things I appreciate about every one of our Dove PTA volunteers. Y’all are amazing and each deserve a shout-out before we reach the end of this road. I wish we could all have more years to serve our school together, but I’ll cherish the time we have had.
