Our Values
We have adopted the Wake County PTA values and believe
they help us to support the Abbotts Creek Elementary PBIS.
Collaboration
We work in partnership with a wide array of individuals
and organizations to accomplish our agreed-upon
goals.
Commitment
We are dedicated to promoting children’s health,
well-being and educational success through strong
parent, family, and community involvement.
Accountability
We acknowledge our obligations. We deliver on
our promises. We abide by NCPTA Uniform Bylaws.
Respect
We value our colleagues and ourselves. We expect
the same high quality of effort and thought from
ourselves as we do from others.
Inclusivity
We invite the stranger and welcome the newcomer.
We value and seek input from as wide a spectrum of
viewpoints and experiences as possible.
Integrity
We act consistently with our beliefs. When we err,
we acknowledge the mistake and seek to make
amends.
Our Mission
The Abbotts Creek Elementary School PTA
believes in making every child’s potential a reality
by engaging and empowering families and
communities to advocate for all children. Our
mission is to support the academic, cultural, social
and emotional needs of all ACES students through
volunteer engagement, fundraising and relevant
programing. We strive to be a powerful voice for
all children, a relevant resource for families and
communities and a strong advocate for the
education and well-being of every child.
