About the Thornton Creek Parent Group

The Thornton Creek Parent Group (TCPG) is a non-profit organization, separate from the school, that supports the educational programs at Thornton Creek Elementary School in Seattle, WA.

The Thornton Creek Parent Group’s goals include:

• Fostering communication and cooperation between the administration, teachers, staff, and parents on matters of common interest; 

• Organizing volunteers to support school events and activities;

• Providing public meetings and forums to gather community input, discuss policy, and educate and involve community members; and

• Establishing and maintaining relationships with other community groups and Seattle Public Schools.

TCPG provides support to the school, in part, through its fundraising efforts. All funds raised by the TCPG are managed by the TCPG Board of Directors with input from TCPG members. TCPG funds are used almost exclusively to support Thornton Creek Elementary School. Learn more.
