Hotchkiss PTA 

The Hotchkiss PTA is a nonprofit, volunteer-led organization made up of parents, caregivers, teachers, staff, and community members who work together to support every student at L.L. Hotchkiss Elementary School.

Our purpose is to make every student’s school experience better by supporting students, teachers, families, and school leadership. We accomplish this through volunteerism, advocacy, fundraising, family engagement, teacher support, and responsible stewardship of PTA resources.

Everyone is welcome in the Hotchkiss PTA. Whether you have several hours to volunteer, a helpful idea to share, a community connection, or simply want to become a member, there is a place for you.

Our Mission: To make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. 

Our Priorities for 2026–2027

Grow Membership and Community Engagement

Welcome more families, teachers, staff, and community partners into the PTA and create meaningful ways for everyone to participate.

Build a Sustainable PTA

Establish clear roles, consistent processes, and shared responsibilities so our PTA can remain strong for years to come.

Listen, Learn, and Partner

Build a culture of listening to teachers and families so their needs and ideas guide how the PTA partners with and supports our school.
