Your 2021 – 2022 elected board is HERE to help advocate for parent, children, and staff needs and provide a framework for community interaction.

All Buckman community members are invited to participate in PTA events, including the bi-monthly evening PTA meetings focused on school and community related discussions and coffee chats with the principal. We also host the annual Art Show and Sell, with local professional artists (and our own students) selling art and wares, visiting author events and other fundraising efforts.

The PTA engages the parent community to help in the classroom, support community projects, improve the school campus, organize donations for families in need, and fund raise for school supplies and events. It takes a village to make it happen, please reach out to us, and we’ll get you plugged in!

Membership makes a difference. Annual Buckman PTA dues are $9.50 per individual. Dues support the Oregon PTA, which advocates for better education at state and federal levels and provides support to our local community thru special education support and clothing centers. Join here. Payment to the ‘Buckman PTA’ may also be left in the office PTA mailbox or mailed to the school.

Thank you to parents that have contributed funds directly to the PTA, and thru Scrip, Smile.Amazon, Fred Meyer Rewards, the Nike Benevity Match, Bottle Drop, Art Show/Sell, Equity Talks, Charlston Wrap, and Green fundraising events.

And big thank yous to the friends and families of Buckman Elementary for making the playground green space a reality.
