President's Welcome

Greetings Sea Kings, and welcome to the start of a school year like no other! I hope by now everyone is starting to settle into new routines and meet the challenges we are all being faced with each new day, whether physical, emotional, technical, or other. PTSA is striving to find new ways to help parents, teachers, and students face these challenges. We have been able to join forces with Booster Club to offer teachers triple the amount of classroom start up supply funds typically offered in past years. This helps to offset the cost of setting up a virtual classroom. We are also looking at better ways to communicate so that we can stay connected even though we can’t connect in person. Check out our socials here, and be sure to share your school pics with us! Last, we have surveyed our membership to find out when you’d like to meet, and based on those results, we’ll be offering some evening meetings with speakers who’ll address what’s on your mind right now.

Tiffney Townley
PTSA President

Our Funding Pledge

Bring Out The Best at PVIS! Palos Verdes Intermediate School is a leader in education and educational programming. The PVIS PTSA is committed to providing top-notch programs for our students. The current state funding model does not provide our district with enough funding to maintain the type of education you've come to expect for your child.  The PTSA strives to make up for that funding discrepancy. The PVIS PTSA has pledged to raise $60,000* to pay for programs and supplemental education for the 2020-2021 school year. The PTSA asks for a suggested donation of $150* per student so that we may continue funding the following worthwhile programs and investing in educational tools for our Sea King community. Donations of any amount are appreciated.
