Romona PTA
The ROMONA PTA is excited to welcome you back to the 2022-2023 school year!
Throughout the school year, ROMONA PTA sponsors numerous events and activities for all our students & staff. Your support through dues, donations, time, talent, and energy helps us to continue building the Romona Elementary community to provide an enriching and nurturing learning environment and outstanding Preschool-4th experience for all our children.
There is a role for every parent at Romona Elementary and we encourage you to participate at the level that best suits you and your family.
