The Bird Rock Foundation is organized for the purpose of supporting the education of children at Bird Rock Elementary by fostering relationships among the school, parents, and teachers. We empower communities to work together for children and families through education, leadership, communication and advocacy. We also strive to advance and encourage partnerships and teamwork between parents and teachers through parental education, classroom support and joint undertakings.
The Bird Rock Foundation is our school’s version of a PTA or PTO. The Foundation operates as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. This means we can operate with greater discretion over monies raised and are not subject to state-mandated processes. We, as parents, in collaboration with the school administration can create the kind of learning environment we want for our children. We make this happen by providing financial support for initiatives such as reducing district-prescribed student to teacher ratios, and providing programming that the state and federal government no longer support such as art, P.E., technology and music.
