PTF Mission Statement
The purpose of the PACS PTF is to foster fellowship among teachers and parents and to promote unity, increase parent involvement, be a source of encouragement to the PACS family, and honor God above all things.
Welcome to PACS PTF!
The Parent Teacher Fellowship is you…and everyone! It is the parents or legal guardians of students enrolled at PACS, faculty members, staff members, and administrators.
The PTF operates according to written bylaws and is led by appointed officers and committee chairmen as we work together on supporting our mission statement.
We look forward to you joining us as we build a strong relationship between parents, faculty, staff, and administration. Plus, we will have a great amount of fun!
*Please Note: Many of our favorite activities have been canceled for this school year due to Covid-19 restrictions. Watch for updates throughout the school year. We plan to return to a full and exciting schedule of activities when it is safe to do so. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The following Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF) grade representatives serve their respective grade level as an additional avenue for PACS parents to communicate with Administration on issues that affect that grade. It is an opportunity for parents to feel more connected with school events, as well as, other important school information. The PTF grade representatives will have quarterly meetings with the administration or as deemed necessary. At that time, the representatives will convey any suggestions or concerns that have been addressed by parents.
In Lower School (PreK-5th) and high school, each grade will have an appointed parent that will be each grade’s contact person. In middle school, there will be two parent contacts for each grade (one designated for male and one designated for female students).
This program was initiated to enhance communication, not to discourage families from contacting their respective administrator directly for student-specific issues. We want to strengthen the sense of unity throughout our Prince Avenue Christian School family!

Involvement of parents, teachers, staff, and students is essential for the success of PTF. We offer many opportunities for volunteers to use their God-given gifts to make an impact at Prince Avenue Christian School. We are partnering together to help the students of PACS in their walk with Jesus Christ. Partnering together will have the greatest impact on the life of Prince and its families. Please consider the strengths and talents you have been given to serve our school.
Coffee & Conversation
Each month, we will host Coffee & Conversation for all parents! It will begin at 8:00 am with a brief PTF update and a time of fellowship will follow. Fellowship may be a devotion and discussion, breakfast, or serving the faculty, staff or students.
Duty-Free Lunch (This program is currently on hold due to Covid-19 restrictions.)
Once a month, we offer our lower school teachers a lunch break. It requires 30 minutes of your time to monitor the students so that the teachers can leave the lunchroom during lunch. The dates of Duty-Free Lunch coincide with First Friday Fellowships.
Parents In Prayer
Please join us Tuesday mornings at 8:10 am in the Pavilion as we cover PACS in prayer. You can pray silently, aloud, individually, with the group or with a faculty or staff member. Join when you can. Nothing is more impactful than feeling the Holy Spirit work during this special time communicating with our Lord and Savior on behalf of our Students, Teachers, Staff, and Parents.
