About Us
All parents and caregivers of Lapham-Marquette students are members of the Lapham-Marquette Parent-Teacher Group (PTG). Welcome to our wonderful school community!
Lapham-Marquette PTG promotes educational, enriching events and activities for Lapham and Marquette students; offers parents a forum to learn about and discuss education and school-related matters; promotes community building activities; and provides support to Lapham and Marquette teachers, staff and families.
Why participate in the PTG?
-
Inform yourself about what’s going on at school
-
Voice your opinion about our children’s education
-
Improve and expand our children’s educational opportunities
-
Connect with other parents and staff
-
Build a stronger, healthier community!
The easiest and best way to stay connected is to join our PTG Email List and/or PTG Facebook Group. Facebook is especially good for quick questions. Try attending a PTG Meeting too! It's a great way to meet engaged families, teachers, principals, and staff.
We welcome you all to our community!
