BCA's Parent-Teacher League Mission
PTL Events Calendar 2025-2026
PTL Volunteer Opportunities 2025-2026
The Belvoir Christian Academy PTL works for your child by maintaining close working relationships between parents, teachers, staff and students to enhance the Christian educational experience by providing equipment, services, and fellowship events to build school spirit and relationships within the BCA family.
The purpose of the PTL is to encourage and cultivate high standards of Christian education; to promote open communication and goodwill among parents, teachers, administration, school board, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, and First Lutheran Church; and to encourage parental participation in school events.
While our teachers and staff will ensure that your child receives an excellent education, the parents who volunteer on our Parent Teacher League will work to provide children, parents, and the East Ridge community with fun and exciting events that will positively affect your child's experience at BCA. Involvement in the PTL is the best way to not only connect with other BCA parents and families, but also to spend more time with your child(ren), through the variety of PTL-sponsored activities offered throughout the school year.
BCA families are strongly encouraged to volunteer throughout the school year. To simplify the volunteer sign-up process, our PTL often uses Sign-Up Genius or Class Dojo to allow families to choose a specific event, how they want to help, and the amount of time they are available to help - all in one place! This information is maintained by the PTL, and volunteers will be contacted within two weeks of their event to confirm volunteer assignments and answer questions.
Volunteer opportunities include setting up, cleaning up or helping during an event. Parents who volunteer as a homeroom parent may also help by coordinating or setting up for a class party. Additionally, volunteer opportunities will be offered throughout the school year to help with grounds cleanup (mulching, weeding, planting, etc.), bulletin boards, PTL closet organization and other tasks as needs arise.
Faculty/Staff Gift Preferences
Throughout the year, we have opportunities for families to treat our teachers and staff to gifts if they choose to support them in that manner. Birthdays, Christmas, Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week during the first week in May - or any time of the year - are great times to let our amazing BCA teachers know they are loved and appreciated for all that they do for our students. Parents may click on names below to see what our teachers love to receive, hobbies they enjoy, favorite foods, class wish list items and more! Thank you for supporting our teachers with kind and thoughtful gifts!
