About

The West Vincent PTA is the voice for the children of West Vincent Elementary, one of five elementary schools in the Owen J. Roberts School District. We support nearly 600 students in kindergarten through 6th grade who live in and around West Vincent Township in Chester County, Pennsylvania.

Our PTA is a lively part of school life. Each year, we bring dozens of events and programs to our community—all designed to enrich our children’s education, create connections, and make learning fun.

We’d love for you to join us! Become a member or sign up to volunteer today and be part of the Wildcat pride.

PTA values: what we stand for

  • Collaboration: We team up with families, staff, and community partners to reach our goals together.

  • Commitment: We’re dedicated to supporting every child’s health, well-being, and success through strong parent and community involvement.

  • Accountability: We own our responsibilities and follow through on our promises.

  • Respect: We value each other and ourselves, and we bring the same level of effort and thoughtfulness that we hope to see in others.
