Parents and Families

The Arlington Tech Advisory Committee (ATAC) is a nonprofit association that serves the role of the PTA for Arlington Tech.  We elect officers annually.  ATAC’s purpose is to support our students to thrive and fosters community among students, teachers, and families. We are also dedicated to being strong advocates for our school! There are NO DUES required to be an ATAC member. All parents and caregivers are automatically opt-ed and you are voting members!

Upcoming 2024-2025
