The Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) is a self-governing unit that plans its programs and activities to meet the needs of children and youth in the community.  Each PTA has its own characteristics, but the underlying purposes of promoting the welfare of children and youth unites all PTAs and gives continuity and nationwide significance to their work.  TES PTA meetings will be held on the first Wednesday of the month. Check the calendar page for times and locations.

The TES PTA is affiliated with Temecula Elementary School and the Temecula Valley Council of PTAs.
