About the PTA
The Gardner Bullis School PTA is a parent-led volunteer organization that works to build strong relationships among parents, teachers and the school administration in support of students. It acts as a voice between the teachers, administration and parents. We provide volunteer and financial support to enrich the curriculum and programs provided by the Los Altos School District. Whether you are new to our school or you’ve been part of the Gardner community for many years, we hope you will take advantage of the many wonderful opportunities Gardner has to offer and help us enhance our children’s educational experience at school. Please contact any member of the PTA Executive Board with questions or to learn more.

Get Involved
Gardner parents contribute over 8,000 volunteer hours each school year! Volunteering enriches the students’ school experience and offers parents a great way to make friends and build a sense of community. Our goal is 100% volunteer participation each year from our Gardner families; any amount of time (even just one hour once during the school year) is greatly appreciated. Please review our list of PTA Programs and email a committee lead if you have any questions or are interested in helping out. We look forward to working with you!
