PTA
Our Mission
The Rancho Romero PTA aims to positively impact the lives of ALL children and families in the Rancho school community.We organize ways for parents/caregivers to engage in the school community, whether that means volunteering in classrooms, leading and engaging in events and initiatives, or providing perspective, feedback, advocacy, and collaboration with the school and teachers/staff. Our Rancho PTA ensures that the community and social/emotional experience for families and children is a positive one.
Our mission is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.
PTA Values
Collaboration
We will work in partnership with a wide array of individuals and organizations to broaden and enhance our ability to serve and advocate for all children and families.
Commitment
We are dedicated to children’s educational success, health, and well-being through strong family and community engagement, while remaining accountable to the principles upon which our association was founded.
Diversity
We acknowledge the potential of everyone without regard, including but not limited to: age, culture, economic status, educational background, ethnicity, gender, geographic location, legal status, marital status, mental ability, national origin, organizational position, parental status, physical ability, political philosophy, race, religion, sexual orientation, and work experience.
Respect
We value the individual contributions of members, employees, volunteers, and partners as we work collaboratively to achieve our association’s goals.
Accountability
All members, employees, volunteers, and partners have a shared responsibility to align their efforts toward the achievement of our association’s strategic initiatives.
The Big Picture
Rancho's PTA is just one unit within the San Ramon Valley Council of PTAs (the group of all of the PTAs in the SRVUSD school district). This is part of a larger PTA group for the County called the 32nd District PTA, the state of California PTA called "CAPTA", and the National PTA.
PTA Membership
When you purchase a PTA Family Membership, you spend $40 for the entire year. This supports the events, initiatives, and advocacy work being done at the school, within the SRVUSD district through the SRV Council of PTAs, and beyond. With your membership, you enjoy FREE admission to many of our PTA-sponsored events including family fun nights, socials, the multicultural festival, and more!
At the close of fall registration, we will have a list of all families who purchased a "family membership" and are considered our Rancho PTA Association members.

Funding
We like to focus our efforts on enhancing the experience of the school community and organizing the participation of parents and families instead of being seen as a large fundraising entity. The Rancho PTA hosts many events throughout the year that are free to families.
Some of the ways we raise funds to cover our costs include:
- Family Memberships
- Yearbooks
- Dine Out For Rancho Events
- Run for Education
To view our detailed budget, please come to one of our PTA Association meetings!
Any questions about the budget, money, and PTA should be directed to our PTA President at: president@ranchoromero.org
The Rancho PTA is an affiliate under CA PTA’s Letter of Determination and 501(c)3 registration. As an SRVCPTA unit, we have 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status under CAPTA’s group exemption. The group exemption number 0646 (needed for the 990 filing).
How is the PTA Different From Ed Fund and SSC?
The RREF (Rancho Romero Education Fund) raises money, and the SSC (School Site Council) makes recommendations for how funds are spent. The PTA partners with RREF and SSC to enhance the sense of community at Rancho.
