Salisbury Elementary School and Salisbury PTA Recognized Nationally as a School of Excellence
Salisbury, MA (August 2019)— National PTA has recognized Salisbury Elementary School (SES) and Salisbury Elementary School PTA (SES PTA) as a 2019-2021 School of Excellence for their accomplishments in building a strong, effective family-school partnership that is enriching the educational experience and overall well-being for all students.
“When families and schools work together, students do better in school and schools improve,” said Leslie Boggs, president of National PTA. “SES and SES PTA have worked hard to strengthen their family-school partnership and their efforts are making a positive impact on student success and school improvement. We are pleased to recognize them as a 2019-2021 School of Excellence.”
National PTA’s School of Excellence program supports and celebrates schools and PTAs that make a year-long commitment to improving family-school partnerships. Throughout the year, the schools and PTAs collect feedback from their school communities and create and implement plans of action to make a difference for every child. Through the School of Excellence program, PTAs and families become key partners in decision-making and school improvement efforts.
SES and SES PTA is the only recognition in Massachusetts and are one of only 279 PTAs and schools nationwide to be designated a 2019-2021 School of Excellence.
Salisbury Elementary School PTA (SES PTA) recognizes that it’s not so much that it takes a village to raise a child, rather than the tremendous strength, growth, and benefits that come from engaging the “village.” SES PTA, the oldest continuously operating PTA (1910), has continuously worked with Salisbury Elementary School (SES) to strengthen ties amongst family and the community. As part of the certification process, SES PTA administered assessments and applied for certification of excellence.
