PTA Mission

To make every child's potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.

This site has been created with our families and teachers in mind as a place to keep information about PTA activities, school activities, and link you to resources around the broader APS community. 

The Claremont PTA Executive Committee looks forward to working with Claremont families and school staff to support and sustain the school community in the coming year. 

 
We hope all of our school staff, families and community members continue to stay safe and healthy throughout this unprecedented time.

Claremont School Directory 

If you are looking for a class list and contact information for other students in your students' class, you can consult our Online Directory.

In 2018, Virginia passed a law prohibiting the ability of schools to share any information about students unless they express opt-in to share yearly. You can opt-in via APS ParentVue, but the quickest way to bring the online directory up-to-date is by updating your information on the PTA website and/or renewing/joining the PTA.
