Iron Horse Middle School

Dear Iron Horse Families,

 

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! Whether you're returning or joining our Iron Horse community for the first time, we are so glad you're here. The start of a new school year brings a sense of energy, possibility, and connection—and the Iron Horse PTA is excited to be a part of it all.

Our PTA is already hard at work planning a variety of fun events and meaningful programs for students, families, and staff. From Family Fun Night and Movie Night to Jaguar Camp, Career Day, and the always-anticipated 8th Grade Party, there are so many ways for everyone to get involved and celebrate our wonderful school community.

We encourage every parent, guardian, and caregiver to join the PTA. Membership is one of the easiest ways to stay informed, build connections, and make a direct impact on our school. While there's no obligation to attend meetings or volunteer, your membership alone helps us provide valuable programs, support teachers and staff, and create memorable experiences for our students.

Here’s just a glimpse of what your PTA helps support throughout the year:

Community Events & Programs
• Family Fun Night ~ Movie Night ~ Jaguar Camp ~ 8th Grade Party ~ Career Day
• Reflections Art Program ~ Spirit Wear ~ Student of the Month ~ Sister School Program

Staff Appreciation & Support
• Holiday Luncheon ~ Teacher Appreciation Week ~ Monthly Treats ~ Classroom Start-Up Supplies

Health & Wellness Initiatives
• Red Ribbon Week ~ Words Matter Week

Communication & Collaboration
• Weekly Newsletters ~ Social Media Updates ~ Partnership with school leadership, EdFund, District & State PTA

Plus, PTA members enjoy exclusive perks and discounts through the California State PTA and National PTA. You can learn more about those here.

Let’s work together to make this school year one to remember—for our students, our families, and our incredible staff. We look forward to seeing you at a school event or even a PTA meeting.

 

Thank you for your support, and Go Jaguars!

Warmly,
Amanda McCoy
President
Iron Horse Middle School PTA
