Welcome to the Covina-Valley Council of PTAs' page!
The Covina-Valley Council of PTAs is aligned with the National PTA mission which is "Every Child. One Voice." and California State PTA's mission which is to positively impact the lives of all children and families.
We are thrilled to share with you that this year, we have chartered a new PTSA unit at our Fairvalley High School. Welcome, Fairvalley High School PTSA. Please, help us support our newest unit, and become a PTA member there!
All of our 16 PTA/PTSA units and council are very active and are strong advocates for all of our children throughout the district. Our amazing and dedicated volunteers work behind the scenes, hand in hand with their schools on a daily basis to find out the best possible ways to support and connect with our students and community.
The Covina-Valley Council of PTAs oversees these 16 individual PTAs/PTSAs in our district with approximately 150 volunteers serving on individual units. We are a part of the First District PTA which oversees councils and out-of-council units that span from Burbank to Pomona, with approximately 240 schools total.
As of January, we currently stand at 6,458 PTA members, which is 88% of our 7,300 membership goal for the 2024-2025 school year. Our membership theme is “Membership is the key.” We wholeheartedly appreciate the support of the whole Covina-Valley community. The support of our teachers, staff, and administration is truly phenomenal. We feel really blessed to be able to serve and support the needs of all of our students in our district.
If you have any questions or want to reach out to us, please email us at: covinavalleycouncilpta@gmail.com and a board member will be happy to connect with you.
