Our Mission

Our mission is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. We support our school and staff, and work to spread their message of Social Justice.

Partnership:

We work with Vestal’s leadership and staff to support students and families with our ideas and efforts. We work with community partners to identify and implement additional methods to support the community.

Equity and Support:

We dedicate our resources to helping every student. We understand that individual and systemic issues affect students’ learning. We actively support Vestal’s social justice efforts in identity, diversity, local action, social justice, and academic engagement.

Adaptive Learning:

Learning requires being open, humble, and ready for new ideas. Our community’s needs and resources are always changing. The Vestal PTA is committed to being flexible and working with Vestal and the Montavilla community to meet these changes.
