Overview

Mission

The Cougar Valley Parent-Teacher Association (CVPTA) is a helpful group that supports Cougar Valley Elementary School in Silverdale, WA. As a volunteer organization, CVPTA aims to improve the education of students by teaming up with school staff and administrators. Our goal is to provide resources, funding, and volunteers to enhance school activities, after-school programs, and special projects that benefit both students and the community. We work hard to build strong connections with families, create fun events, and offer extra help that goes beyond what the school district and government provide. By focusing on the specific needs of our teachers and students, we help create a caring and effective learning environment.
