WELCOME TO RHS

Welcome! The Randolph Heights PTA is a local PTA unit organized under the authority of the Minnesota Congress of Parents, Teachers, and Students (MNPTSA), and the National Congress of Parents and Teachers – the National PTA. It is a separate nonprofit entity from the school or the Saint Paul Public Schools.

The Randolph Heights PTA is dedicated to serving the students, families, teachers, and staff of Randolph Heights School. To this end, the three main priorities of the Randolph Heights PTA are:

• To build our school community in many ways — through volunteering, special events, fundraising, and ongoing projects, teams, and committees ranging from gardening to wellness.
• To provide information and facilitate communication between and among parents, the school, and the district.
• To raise money to support learning opportunities in and out of the classroom, and to help our students and teachers with special initiatives.

In recent years, the PTA has funded the Northern Clay residency, developed the enhanced music curriculum, replaced the playground equipment, created a library quasi-endowment, and provided significant financial support for ongoing activities, such as teacher appreciation, field trip and Eagle Bluff support, Accelerated Reader fees, and school-wide events, recognitions, and celebrations.

If you are a parent or caregiver of a child at Randolph Heights, welcome! We want EVERYONE to be able to be involved, and so every member of our community is automatically a member of the PTA. We hope to see you in so many ways — at a meeting or event, volunteering in the classroom or on a field trip, as part of a committee, or at a fundraiser. Your involvement is invaluable — it shows the children how much you value their education and that you support our school in providing it.
