The Rosedale PTA's primary goals are to support staff, support families and connect to the broader disability community. The Rosedale PTA desperately needs members and, despite the name of Parent Teacher Association, anyone can join - you do not even have to be affiliated with the school! We would love to have more parents and caregivers join our PTA and join our PTA meetings (when possible). We can arrange to have Spanish interpreters and translation through Zoom.
The PTA also
- supports with campus events and activities
- has dedicated time for resource sharing during our meetings
- hosts speakers at meetings to provide more information and resources to families
- shares knowledge between families
- works closely with campus staff and administrators to help benefit the campus
The PTA members then organize, volunteer and coordinate the follow through of each event. Most importantly, our PTA meets monthly with staff/admin to make sure we are up to date on the inner workings of the campus and evaluate areas in which the PTA can help. The PTA also has dedicated time for resource sharing during our meetings. We have speakers come to our PTA meetings from various disability organizations to discuss their services (previous resources include TTAP, HHSC to discuss Medicaid Waiver Programs, McBeth Rec Center, Greenleaf Neurodiversity Center...) PTA members/parents also hold great institutional knowledge that we often share with one another. The PTA desperately (yes! desperately!) needs members and despite the name of Parent Teacher Association- anyone can join, you do not even have to be affiliated with the school! We would love to have more parents and caregivers join our PTA and join our PTA meetings (when possible). We can arrange to have Spanish interpreters and translation through zoom. Please pass the word on to families and encourage them to join the PTA, not only to give back to the school, but to connect and learn from other families.
We also have a Rosedale WhatsApp group: https://chat.whatsapp.

Rosedale School PTA’s Mission
To support financially and emotionally the staff, students, and community that make up the Rosedale School, AISD’s only school dedicated for students with multiple disabilities.
What does Rosedale PTA help with?
- All PTA’s funds raised directly benefit classrooms and students. Rosedale students range from 3 to 21 years old.
- We give a stipend to each teacher, including special area teachers.
- We sponsor a prom in the spring. Each student is able to attend with their families at no charge.
- We sponsor several appreciation breakfasts and luncheons throughout the year to continuously thank the staff for their dedication.
- We sponsor school wide events such as Fun Fridays, where musicians share their gift of music to our students.
The list goes on of the exciting activities PTA sponsors for our students & staff. We meet monthly to network and support each other in our celebrations and struggles in raising our students with special needs.
Thank you for loving Rosedale School!
