Organizations

PTA

All parents are invited and encouraged to join and attend all PTA meetings. This is your organization, be a part of it! Importantly, student involvement in PTA fund-raisers is limited. Under no circumstances are elementary students allowed to be involved in door-todoor solicitations.

PTA Membership Dues: $3.00

Safety Patrols

All fifth graders are eligible to be selected to be safety patrols. Two criteria must be met to become a patrol: being at school by 7:45 a.m. each morning and setting a good example for all to see.

SCA

The South Salem SCA belongs to the Virginia Student Council Association. A board of officers, elected and teacher approved, consists of fourth and fifth grade students serving as president, vice-president, secretary, assistant secretary, treasurer, assistant treasurer, committee chairpersons, and homeroom representatives for one-year terms.

Students in third grade also serve as homeroom representatives in the SCA. This group and its faculty advisor meet during the school year to plan worthwhile school and community service projects.
