Do you know what online sites, chat rooms and social forums your child is visiting? Marcus High School (MHS) Parent Education Program is presenting a session to share up-to-date information with parents about social networking and online activities that students may be participating in these days. Come hear MHS students share their stories, and ask honest questions and get straight answers. These sessions are open to all parents of MHS students and any MHS feeder school student.
Free child care will be available during the session.
Marcus High School has a parent education session every first Wednesday of the month. Check the Marcus HS Event Calendar for details.
Update: Flower Mound HS & Marcus HS collected more than 90 coats for kids. Great job everyone!
The Marcus PTSA is an organization whose purpose is to make our students experience better. Sharon Goldblatt, former Texas PTA President, had a great way to think about what the PTA represents: “A booster club for all kids.”
Our mission –
To make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.
Marcus PTSA is a unique organization in that students can join the PTSA and lend their voice to the other members in an effort to help create a stronger educational system locally and throughout Texas. Closer to home, the students can go further and join the PTSA Board and help shape the direction at Marcus!
1. Review this PTSA Student Application – 2013 – it asks a few questions and lets you know your obligations.
Interested?
2. Fill it out send it to our PTSA President and Secretary. At an upcoming board meeting, the applications will be reviewed students will be appointed to the board.
The PTSA will hold a general meeting on Monday, September 23, 2013 @ 6:30pm in the Marcus Auditorium. Open House will follow at 7:00pm.
