Parents and Staff Organizations

Buckman Arts Focus Elementary School is supported by the following parent and staff organizations:

Buckman Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

The Buckman PTA works to enhance educational opportunities for students and families, supports staff and promotes family involvement in our school with emphasis on the arts and arts integration. Buckman PTA is a membership organization, but all families are welcome to participate. The PTA organizes many of the school's community building and fundraising events.

Buckman Site Council

The Buckman Site Council is a school leadership body legislated by Portland Public Schools. Elected representatives work with the school principal to develop plans to improve instructional programs, provide for staff development, deepen parent involvement and engagement as well as create and monitor a comprehensive school improvement plan.
