PTF/Volunteers
Parent Teacher Fellowship
Welcome to your SouthLake Christian Academy Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF), a cross-divisional parent and faculty collaborative that serves to foster a strong sense of community throughout our school. Every current parent and guardian is a valued member of the PTF. We are guided by the SouthLake Christian values of respect, integrity, joy and kindness.
The PTF deeply appreciates the time, energy, and joy our volunteers bring to all that they do for the school. Your creativity, passion, and generosity will help make this year a wonderful one for our students. We look forward to working with each of you in celebrating our beloved SouthLake Christian Academy.
If you have any questions about PTF, please contact our PTF Leadership team, Mrs. Tracy Helms or Mrs. Mallory Clay.
All SouthLake Christian parents are a part of the Parent Teacher Fellowship and are encouraged to be involved in an area of interest. The PTF Board of Directors is comprised of SouthLake Christian parents who have previously served in PTF volunteer opportunities. The first step to becoming a PTF board member is to serve through PTF. Each year, nominations are submitted for active volunteers who would like to become PTF board members. If you are interested in becoming a board member, please email Tracy Helms for more information on the process and timeline.
