2017-18 Everett PTSA Council Mission and Goals 

This plan will help us provide our PTAs the best service possible, while also allowing us to focus on our strategic partnership with the Everett School District.  It helps us prioritize our limited resources (funds and volunteers) to maximize our results.
 In developing our Strategic Plan, the Everett PTSA Council looked at the Strategic Plans for the Everett School District and WSPTA.  To learn more about those Strategic Plans, please see the links below.
