Jane Addams Middle School PTSA is a registered 501c3 non-profit organization. Our members and our Board provide direction, decision-making, and oversight.
The JAMS PTSA Board is committed to reflecting the diversity represented in our school community. (See our diversity statement) We value the representation of our BIPOC, English language learners, and LGBTQIA+ community members. As a PTSA, we are committed to inclusivity and making accommodations, so that it is easier for families to make this commitment. As such, we offer remote participation options, interpreters, translated materials, and onsite childcare. We support structuring positions as co-chairs, if desired.
