Join Our School PTA

Let’s grow our school community! The Cayuga Heights Elementary School (CHES) PTA creates connections, supports our children, and amplifies your voice. We encourage all members of the CHES school community - parents, guardians, teachers, staff, and grandparents - to find ways to get connected and contribute to the success of our students.

This year, all memberships are free. Sign-up using our online membership form. All new and returning members must (re)register, since we need to update our roster each year. Thank you!
