Lucille M. Nixon PTA

blue line


The PTA is a volunteer based organization which supports our schools by helping our children, our teachers, and the school staff. It advocates protecting our children on local, state and national levels. It raises funds to bridge the gap between what our kids need and what the school budget can provide. All families are encouraged and welcome to support our membership by volunteering their time, resources, and ideas.

The Nixon PTA provides funds for special non-staff-related school programs such as library and classroom instructional material, computer technology and program enhancements, playground equipment, school spirit activities, student assemblies, family events, and school site facility and improvement needs. The PTA also funds support for all of the school/home communication formats and the School Handbook. These funds are raised throughout the year with special fundraising events.

Volunteer hours donated by parents like you allow the PTA to help provide these school activities and programs.

The Nixon PTA also works closely with PiE and other community organizations whose programs and funds support the PAUSD.

The PTA elects an Executive Board every year with 2 year term positions. There are a number of Committee Chairs available every year which serve to support in-classroom teacher directed activities and all the out-of-classroom events.

The first PTA meeting is scheduled for September 5, 2008.  Combined General and Board Meetings are held on the first Friday of each month, and all meetings are open to the public.

Attendance Area Advisory Group

Because the PAUSD must expand overall classroom capacity in the coming years, the Superintendent has formed the Attendance Area Advisory Group (AAAG) to consider plans for boundary adjustments, opening a new elementary school, increasing capacity at the existing elementary schools, and the location of a potential new choice program. The Nixon PTA is actively involved in the AAAG. There are several potential changes impacting Nixon, including:

- addition of modular classrooms,
- increases in capacity,
- increases in class size,
- changes in the Nixon boundaries, and
- changes in the middle and high school boundaries.

For more information, please refer to this AAAG update.  Please note that all of these changes are, as yet, only options, and the AAAG is seeking public comment and feedback.  Regular updates on these deliberations can be found in the Nixon News and minutes of meetings are available here.   Question or comments may be addressed to Ellen Waxman, the AAAG representative for the Nixon PTA.
