About CCPTA

What is the CCPTA?

The County Council of Parent-Teacher Association (CCPTA) is an umbrella organization whose members include the County Council officers and committee chairs; the principals, PTA president, and delegate from each school; and the Arlington Public Schools (APS) Superintendent.  Representatives from the School Board and other school and community organizations also actively participate in County Council meetings and programs.  All meetings are open to the public.

The CCPTA provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and information among local PTAs and with the APS administration.  The goals of the CCPTA are consistent with those of National, State and local PTAs.

Through a portion of each local PTA’s dues and partial proceeds from the APS Summer Activities Fair, the CCPTA sponsors various functions, such as Scholarships for high school seniors planning to pursue a career in educations, the PTA Reflections contest, the Summer Activities Fair, Neighborhood Day and a training session for the PTA officers.

Representatives from the CCPTA participate on the Advisory Council on Instruction the APS Calendar and Budget and Facilities Advisory Committees, and the Arlington County Neighborhood Day Planning Committee.

When and where does the CCPTA meet?

The CCPTA meets once a month to receive updates from the Superintendent and School Board, to share PTA information with each other, to hear from other school and community organizations, and to plan and organize CCPTA activities.  Meetings are held in Room 101 A/B at the Ed Center at 1426 N. Quincy Street at 7:00 pm
