Also during the summer, officers of each individual school's PTA met to begin organizing activities for the new school year. There is a Parent Teacher Association (PTA) at each of the schools in the North Bellmore and Bellmore districts. For the Central High School District, students and parents are invited to join the Parent Teacher Student Associations (PTSA) at Grand Avenue Middle School and at each high school.
