Welcome Carpenter Families!

 Welcome to Carpenter Community Charter's 2025-2026 school year! Our wonderful community of teachers, administrators, and families make this school such a welcoming and exciting place for our kids to learn, and I'm looking forward to another memorable year together.

This year, Carpenter became the recipient of the 2025 Distinguished School Award for academic achievement by the California Department of Education. I believe that Parents for Carpenter and our enrichment programs are integral to the success of our school.

What is PFC?

Parents for Carpenter (PFC) is a devoted group of volunteer Carpenter families who raise over $800,000 annually. We collect these crucial funds through donations, events, community sponsorships, grants, and more to pay for our school's enrichment program of music, physical education, dance, science, and art classes.  These programs are not funded by LAUSD. 

PFC's largest fundraiser is the Annual Giving Campaign (AGC), during which families can donate any amount to PFC and know they're making a difference in their child's education.  It's a big job, and we can't do it without your support! 

How can I get involved?

Do you want to help us fundraise, stay informed on upcoming events, or come to a PFC meeting?  It's easy! The best first step is to register for our website, parentsforcarpenter.com.  Here, you'll find updated information from PFC and other parent groups at the school, be able to donate to our Annual Giving Campaign, and find out how to get involved and connect with other families.

We would also love to see you at our monthly meetings!  We meet the second Wednesday of every month, right after drop off - at 8:15am, in Cafe West.  

As president of PFC, I am very happy to welcome you to Carpenter this year.  I cannot wait to see you all on campus.
