PTA Coordinators

What will I do as my PTA FLES Coordinator?

Each year the PTA identifies a volunteer parent to fill the PTA committee position of FLES Coordinator. As the parent who understands the value of learning a foreign language at an early age, you play a necessary and vital role in our program! Volunteering as a PTA FLES Coordinator, you will be in charge of registration at your school and serve as the liaison between your school, the FLES administrative office and the FLES teacher(s) throughout the school year. You will receive a discount for own child’s tuition!
