Mission & Objectives

The Willard Parent Teacher Group (PTG) exists to promote the education and welfare of the Willard School children and to promote Willard community and school spirit. The PTG works with parents, teachers, staff, school administrators and community members to meet its objectives.

In support of our mission, we focus on three goals each year:

Communication

  • Each week during the school year, the PTG sends out a newsletter to make sure parents and guardians are kept up-to-date regarding upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, district and community information and of course, updates from the PTG Board and Principal’s office.

  • We also publish a Willard PTG Directory every year which includes important contact information for staff, PTG board members and individual classes as well as the PTG, school/district calendar.

  • In addition, we host this website full of information on everything we do.
