Why join the PTA
What is PTA? Why Join PTA?
The number one reason to join the Parent Teacher Association is to benefit your child. In doing so, you also help your school. But there are many more PTA advantages:
Get to go to School: When you sign up, you get the first opportunity as a member to volunteer at school events hosted by the PTA. Make sure you join our Volunteer list.
Participate in programs and win prizes: During the year, we may run special programs, prize draws and other opportunities for members.
Get Connected There’s no better way to know what’s happening in your school.
Discover Great Resources The PTA offers a variety of programs designed for parents as well as students.
Tap into a Network PTA functions are opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, building rapport and discussing issues that are on your mind. You can share ideas, concerns, and experiences.
Watch Yourself Grow By volunteering with your PTA, you put your skills and hobbies to use for a noble cause—your child and all children in the community.
Speak Up PTA can be a way for you to more effectively suggest change at your child’s school.
Witness Improvement By getting involved at your child’s school you’ll be part of the solution, helping make positive changes. Local PTAs play an important role by supporting building improvements through advocacy and play an important role in fundraising for curriculum based programs and social events.
Be a Role Model By becoming a PTA member, you’ll be demonstrating to your child the importance you place on education.
PTA Roles
Volunteer
We’d love to have you be a part of our team! No matter how much (or how little) time you have, we have a spot for you! We rely on volunteers to keep our organization going—but volunteering provides you with unique opportunities too! Here are just some of the benefits you receive when you volunteer:
YOU meet new people and make friends,
YOU improve your communication and interpersonal skills,
YOU gain a clearer understanding of our school structure,
YOU get the opportunity to serve as a role model to your children, AND
YOU get the chance to inspire, educate and motivate future generations!
Studies show that the more parents are involved at their child’s school, the better their child’s achievement.
