Parent Teacher Connection
At Unity Classical Charter School, we believe that strong relationships between parents and teachers are the foundation of student success. The Parent Teacher Connection (PTC) is a partnership where parents can get involved in their child’s education through volunteering, participating in school events, and joining committees that support academic and extracurricular programs. This initiative helps foster a sense of community and keeps the lines of communication open between parents, teachers, and school administration. Join our PTC today and make a positive impact on your child’s school experience!
PTC Meetings are held every 1st Thursday of the month at 5 PM in Room 334.
There is a virtual option if you cannot join the meetings in person.
Be sure to join our private community Facebook group, Unity Community. It’s available to all parents and legal guardians of Unity Classical students. It is not designed to replace the school’s Facebook page; the primary goal of this group is to build community meetups for parents and students to connect outside the school.
Don’t hesitate to contact the PTC at ptc@unityclassical.org with any questions, concerns, or suggestions.
