Who is the PTSG?

The Delaware Trail Elementary School Parent Teacher Support Group (PTSG) is about men and women working together toward a common goal. That goal is creating a better school and a better educational experience for our children. We strive to create an atmosphere where teachers and administrators can do their best work—and so can our children.

The PTSG is made up of parents, community members, teachers, principal and staff who share the goal of making Delaware Trail an excellent school. All parents of Delaware Trail students are members …. PTSG is you!

We welcome everyone’s participation. There are many ways to be involved with the PTSG and we are always seeking volunteers. We hope you join us this year to make this school year amazing!
