Did you know you can join more than one PTA, even in our own district? Check out SEPTSA (Shoreline Special Education PTSA) , our Shoreline PTA Council 6.12's own special education group!

Please join us at the Shoreline SEPTSA and find community with other families with students with IEPs and 504 accommodations. Students, educators, and staff are encouraged to join.

Did you know the PTA stocks the snack shack in the staff lounge? We like to keep our teachers and staff fed and hydrated. 😁 Please consider donating snacks and drinks! Don't worry if you don't have time to shop or the means to drop off items. Just Venmo -Huang (comment 'snack shack') and the PTA will take care of it for you! 🍩🍎☕

To spread the love (and reminders), we are asking for donations by grade level starting in October with 4th and 5th grade families. But don't fret, you can donate at any time during the school year!

Thanks for helping us support our Echo Lake staff! 💕

Myth: You must have a child at the school in order to join PTA.
Truth: PTA is for anyone who cares about our kids! Whether you're a parent or family member of a current student, alumni, or community member who wants to show your support - PTA is for all of us!

PTA membership is open to anyone who believes in and supports the mission, purposes, and principles of PTA. 💙

📣 MYTH BUSTED!

The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) just passed out of the Senate Commerce Committee and is headed to the full Senate floor. This bill would put stronger safety protections in place for kids and teens online, and it's a top priority for PTA nationwide.

Take one minute to send a message to your members of Congress urging them to pass KOSA:

Thanks for taking action for Shoreline kids.

Myth: PTA is for moms only.
Truth: PTA is for everyone who cares about kids!

Echo Lake PTA is very special - we have 3 dads on our Executive Board, and many others who are very active in the PTA. Plus grandparents, family friends, and more! We also have community members (many are a part of Echo Lake Neighborhood Association) whose children were Eagles many years ago - but they still show up for our school and our PTA! We love our Echo Lake community! Show your support by joining Echo Lake PTA today!
