Join the Peacemakers PTA!

Maplewood’s Peacemakers PTA is a membership organization, meaning we need community members to sign up for annual memberships to retain our good standing as a tax-exempt entity. We’d love to have you join us with an annual membership at JoinPTA.org! Annual Memberships are $6.50 per person and anyone (parent, student, grandparent, guardian, neighbors!) can be a member.

Membership scholarships are also available for families and students — email president@maplewoodelementary.com for more information.

What does the Maplewood Parent Teacher Association do?

Maplewood’s PTA Mission is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. We do this by supporting the students, families, and staff of Maplewood Elementary through academic enhancement initiatives, community building, increasing communication, and fundraising for the school.

If you are interested in serving on the board or joining a committee email president@maplewoodelementary.com.

The PTA supports the following initiatives (among others):

  • Diversity & Equity at Maplewood Elementary
  • Fostering Community Connections
  • Support for Faculty & Staff
  • Community Support
    • Technology Assistance
    • Resource Assistance
    • Basic Need Assistance
    • Family & Student Advocacy

Help us maintain this same level of support for our campus for this academic school year!

What is Konstella?

Konstella is the opt-in platform for the Maplewood community to access an online directory, communicate with other families, and get involved with the Maplewood PTA. Please sign up for Konstella if you have an existing student at Maplewood.
