From the PTA President

Dear Parents,

 Welcome to Kilmer Middle School and to the Kilmer Parent Teacher Association (PTA)! We strive for 100% of our parents joining the PTA - and every year, the vast majority do!

 Almost 100% of the PTA projected revenue comes from donations and memberships.  The PTA supports KMS students in the following manner:

  • Field trip transportation for all field trips (including the 8th grade trip to King’s Dominion).
  • Activities such as Geography Bee, Word Masters, and Band Concert Registration fees.
  • After School Clubs such as Cougars’ Den, Math Counts, Science Olympiad, Odyssey of the Mind, and Robotics. 
  • Landscaping and light bulbs for Smart Boards – these are costs the county used to pay but now must come out of the Kilmer budget.
  • The Paw Print – the Kilmer Newspaper – written, edited, and published by KMS students.

 Other great reasons to join the PTA?

 ► To be involved – The PTA is the primary source of volunteers to help the school. We provide hundreds of hours of service every year in a wide variety of roles. Review the PTA volunteer form to see just a few of the areas where we provide assistance.

► To meet people – When you attend PTA meetings and volunteer, you meet your child’s friends, teachers, other involved parents, and the school staff and administration.

► To be “in the know” – The KMS Principal, Mr. Douglas Tyson, attends PTA meetings and reports on current events at the school. Our PTA meetings also feature special speakers on important topics for teens, such as bullying prevention, Internet safety, drug prevention and intervention services, TJ Admissions, as well as information on the AP, IB, and Academy programs offered by Fairfax County high schools.  Also, we hear each month from a KMS faculty representative on a variety of topics. 

► For a voice -Membership in the PTA offers you the opportunity to participate in the local, state and national PTA organizations on issues directly affecting your child’s education, such as class size, school boundaries, and standardized testing.

►To receive a copy of the student directory – All PTA members will receive a complimentary copy of the student directory.  Extra copies and copies for non-members are $15.

 Thank you – and please join the PTA today! Our first meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 21st at 10 a.m. in the Group Instruction Room.  Hope to see you there!
