The Greenwich PTA Council has committees where parent representatives meet to discuss the latest news and issues in different aspects of school life and work with district administrators to educate parents, advocate for change and help implement new initiatives. Each committee has meetings a few times a year and reps are asked to attend committee meetings (mostly held over zoom) and report back to the PTAC Coordinator.
