Join the Paden PTA today!
The PTA works to create meaningful opportunities for your child, and for every child at our school.
It connects you with important resources and information to support academic, social and emotional well-being for you and your child(ren).
You get a voice (and importantly, a vote) in decisions that affect you, your child and the community.
The PTA amplifies your voice through the power of collective impact.
Joining the PTA strengthens our community both in and outside of school, providing you with opportunities to help our school while meeting people and have fun with neighbors who have kids around the same age.
Paden Elementary is home to over 400 students from a wide range of cultural and economic backgrounds. As a Title 1 school, we rely on the generosity of our community to provide the well‑rounded educational experience our students deserve.
