The Dillard Drive Center for Global Studies and Spanish Immersion Magnet Elementary School PTA is a vibrant community of parents, guardians, teachers, and local supporters. We’re dedicated to enhancing the educational experience for our students through various fundraising initiatives and school projects.

 

Our efforts help provide cutting-edge technology, enrich the media center, supply teachers with essential tools, and make meaningful improvements to our school campus—just to name a few! Beyond resources, we also organize exciting events for the students and keep parents in the loop with the latest school news and district updates through newsletters, our MemberHub, social media channels, and our website.
