    Welcome to Cross Bayou Elementary PTA
     
    PTA MISSION:
    • A powerful voice for all children;
    • A relevant source for families and communities, and
    • A strong advocate for the education and well-being of every child.

    PTA MEMBERSHIP NEWS
    In an effort to encourage parents to play a more active role in our PTA, we are moving our PTA/SAC meetings to night time and/or right after the school day ends.  We will have free child care available and would love to see you participate in this organization that is vital to our school.  Please check the master calendar on our page to find the times and place of our next PTA meeting.
     
    Our PTA does so much to support our students and we need volunteers to pitch in so this support continues.

     

    Below is the 2024/2025 PTA Board.

    This is my 26th year teaching at Cross Bayou.  I have had the opportunity to teach in both first and third grade.  I attended school in Pinellas County myself and had the opportunity for my own 2 children to attend Cross Bayou from 3 years old until 5th grade and then both graduate from my high school.  While at Cross Bayou, I have been actively involved with PTA during all of my Bayou years and get super excited to see parents get involved with PTA to better our school community for all stakeholders.

She brings her organizational skills to the team and is one of the friendly faces that will more than likely welcome you when you come to the office.
