What the PTA Does

PTA stands for Parent Teacher Association. It is an organization where parents, guardians, and teachers work together to support a safe and healthy school life for our children.

The Uchihama Elementary School PTA mainly conducts the following activities (Based on the actual results from the 2025 school year):

• Enrolling in children's insurance (to cover unexpected injuries, etc.)
• School toilet cleaning (twice a year, outsourced to professional cleaners)
• Providing tents for students during the Sports Day / Sports Presentation (outsourced to professionals)
• Planning and hosting get-togethers for parents and guardians (such as school lunch tasting events, parenting lectures, and casual discussion groups)
• Planning and hosting bicycle safety classes for children
• Other various support for parents and guardians

The events and activities are discussed and decided each year by the PTA board members, based on the requests and feedback from all PTA members.

To All Parents and Guardians

The Uchihama Elementary School PTA is a community built on the goodwill and support of parents and guardians for the benefit of our children and the local area.

While individual participation and taking on board member roles are based on your kind cooperation, simply becoming a member and supporting us is a wonderful way to greatly contribute to the children, the school, and the community of Uchihama Elementary School (Membership fee: 300 yen per month).

We sincerely appreciate your warm understanding and continued cooperation with the Uchihama Elementary School PTA activities.

Volunteer Recruitment

We are always looking for volunteers to help out with events hosted or co-hosted by the PTA!

This is a wonderful opportunity to support the children, the school, and the local community through our shared goodwill, while also being a great experience for yourself. Any help you can provide—whenever you have a little time and feel comfortable doing so—is deeply appreciated.

Through these events, we hope parents can connect with one another and with the teachers. When our community gets closer, school becomes even more fun for our children!

You can register as a volunteer at any time through our Inquiry お問い合わせ . We look forward to welcoming you to our team!

Message from the PTA President

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you for your warm understanding and generous cooperation toward our PTA activities.

The Uchihama Elementary School PTA operates under the theme, "Safety and Peace of Mind: Let’s Protect and Nurture Uchihama." To enrich our children’s learning, playtime, and daily lives, parents and teachers work hand in hand on various activities.

In recent years, we have actively revised our events to reduce the burden on our board members and improved efficiency through DX (digital transformation). On the other hand, we have also felt that as processes became more streamlined, opportunities for "face-to-face connection" among parents and with the school have gradually decreased.

Therefore, this school year, while firmly maintaining our efforts to reduce burdens, we want to take on the challenge of hosting events in a casual and "sustainable way." We hope to create opportunities where children, parents, and teachers can all participate easily and comfortably.

Thank you very much for your continued support.

Tomohisa Oda PTA President, Uchihama Elementary School
