2021–2022 Local Leader Resources

As Reflections is largely managed on the state level, you should coordinate with your State PTA to find state-specific guidelines, deadlines, and resources. In addition, make sure to review the Local Leader's Guide (en español Coming Soon) which outlines the steps needed to host a program at your school. You will also find helpful tools to recruit and train volunteers as well as to plan family celebrations.

In addition to the those provided by your State PTA, use the following resources to help you manage your Reflections program:


Check out these additional resources to take your Reflections program to the next level:

  • Local Leader E-learning Course provides an overview of what steps you can take to successfully manage your Reflections program. 

  • As some school communities may still be learning remotely, National PTA supports and encourages PTAs to run their Reflections programs virtually if they so choose. For tips, refer to this Virtual Reflections resource, sourced from PTA leaders across the country. Please note: National PTA will accept virtual entries and typed signatures on the Student Entry Forms from State PTAs.
