Parent-Teacher Fellowship

The Parent-Teacher Fellowship (PTF) is a volunteer service organization of Atlantic Christian School. Anyone can be involved in the PTF — parents, guardians, host families, grandparents, alumni parents, and teachers. The PTF actively promotes Christian fellowship among the faculty, staff, parents, and friends of Atlantic Christian School through a variety of school events. The PTF also seeks to be an encourager to teachers and students, sponsors fund-raising activities to help meet the material needs of the school, and sponsors essay contests to provide year-end scholarships to 8th and 12th grade students.

The PTF Executive Board and Program Directors, elected each year in May, are responsible for planning and overseeing the various PTF activities. A member of the school’s administration is a liaison to the PTF Board.

The PTF Board meets monthly on the third Thursday of each month immediately following the monthly teachers’ luncheon. PTF meeting attendance is not required to serve as a volunteer at school events or fundraisers.

ShopRite gift cards are available in denominations of $50. You get what you pay for, i.e. $100 of ShopRite scrip = $100 to spend at ShopRite. ACS earns 5% of scrip card sales.
