Teachers and staff are offered an opportunity to apply for grants that enhance or extend the student experience. Money can be used for equipment, materials, guest speakers, field trips, etc. No idea is too small or large. Grant proposals should align with the goals articulated in the CSIP (to be updated). Priority will be given to grants whose impact will be felt by as many students as possible. Collaboration between teachers, both in the same grade and across grades and languages, is highly encouraged. Grant requests will be vetted and approved both by Zoe and a parent committee (BLT Parent Representatives from the Spanish and Japanese tracks).
Once your application has been submitted, you will be contacted by a PTA grant committee representative regarding next steps. For additional information please see the full PTA grant documentation on the PTA website (
