Welcome to Spicewood PTA!

Welcome!

Welcome to the Spicewood Elementary PTA! Our PTA is a group of parents, caregivers, teachers, school staff, and community members who have joined together with the shared goals of advocacy, family engagement, programming for kids, and support for our school.

 

The Spicewood PTA was formed:

  • To promote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, and throughout the community;
  • To raise the standards of home life;
  • To advocate for laws that further the education, physical and mental health, welfare, and safety of children and youth;
  • To promote the collaboration and engagement of families and educators in the education of children and youth;
  • To engage the public in united efforts to secure the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social well-being of all children and youth; and
  • To advocate for fiscal responsibility regarding public tax dollars in public education funding

We value collaboration, commitment, diversity, respect, and accountability. However, we cannot do this alone.  The Spicewood Community needs involvement from all families in order to best support our children.  Whether you choose to volunteer in a classroom, assist with an event, become a Panther Partner, or simply join as a member, you are doing your part to make Spicewood Elementary the BEST environment for growth.

2026 Art in the Classroom

Stay tuned for more details on the Art in the Classroom coming up in March 2026!

MARCH 2025 art in the classroom

 

The goal of Art in the Classroom is to enhance the art literacy of Spicewood students by exposing them to famous artists, their styles and masterworks, and the elements of fine art.  We will integrate aspects of the Learner Profile and Attitudes of the IB Primary Years Program into our discussions and analysis with students.

 

Artists are chosen based on a number of factors: 

  1. Recommendation from the art teachers, who try to correlate the artists to classroom study  
  2. Diversity in style, medium, and culture
  3. What the PTA and Spicewood already own, or can purchase reasonably

Your Job as an Art in the Classroom volunteer is to create a two-way conversation by briefly presenting information on an artist and then engaging students in analysis and synthesis of what they see.   This dialogue helps to enable students to express visual concepts with words.  In the end, you are equipping kids to use their critical thinking skills whenever they encounter a piece of art while having fun in the process!  

 

This program is special because it allows parents to work directly in a “teaching” role with students.

 
How can I sign up or find out more?
If you’re interested in joining our team, please contact our VP of Programs at outreach@spicewoodpta.org.
 
NOTE:  You MUST complete the RRISD volunteer application, which includes a background check, before your first date in the classroom.  This must be done every year.
