School Support and ​Community

​Services

PTA funds and supports many School Support events and programs that assist TRMS in achieving some of its fundamental goals not directly related to the educational curriculum.  Moreover, our Community Services offer our PTA’s commitment to include and support the community through a variety of ongoing projects and programs.  At TRMS, these programs include:  

• Parent University: ​Educational and community involvement opportunities for parents. 
• Health Screening:  Our PTA coordinates volunteers to assist Fulton County School nurses with a one-time Scoliosis screening of 6th and 8th grade students. 
• Red Ribbon Week:  We assist with the coordination of Red Ribbon Week which is the nation's largest and longest-running drug-use prevention campaign. It promotes living drug and alcohol-free through education events. Read about the National Red Ribbon Week Campaign here.​
• Media Center:  Throughout the year, our volunteers assist the Media Specialist with shelving books and device collections. 
• Campus Beautification:  We partner with CHS for students in 4H and other clubs to earn community service credit and work with landscapers for large-scale projects. 
• Teacher of the Year:  Our PTA hosts the award ceremony for the TRMS Teacher of the Year, Support Staff of the Year, and Rookie of the Year award winners. ​

Parent University Spring 2024 - 'Parenting in a Tech World' featuring Titania Jordan

In 2024, Taylor Road Middle School PTA proudly hosted Titania Jordan, CMO and Chief Parent Officer of Bark Technologies, for an insightful Parent University session on parenting in a tech world. Her presentation and informational documents continue to empower our community, reinforcing our commitment to school support and community service.

A renowned thought leader on digital parenting, Titania has contributed to pieces in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Fox Business, The New York Times, USA Today, and more. Her first book, Parenting in a Tech World, was published in 2020 and quickly became a bestseller on Amazon. Titania was also featured in the 2020 documentary Childhood 2.0. She frequently appears as a subject matter expert on nationally broadcasted programs such as the TODAY Show, CBS This Morning, Good Morning America, Fox News, Sirius XM Radio, and CNBC.
In 2017, Titania founded a Facebook group where parents could come together and get advice on raising kids in the digital age, share stories, and learn the latest news about social media. It now has more than 440,000 members and is growing rapidly.
