PTA membership is open to all — parents, students, relatives, friends, neighbors, co-workers, community members!
Studies have shown that membership in PTA provides your child and other children around you with a greater chance of achieving in school. As a PTA member, you are able to engage in your child’s potential and are more likely to be an informed, involved parent. Being a member of PTA also means that you are part of a powerful association with an action plan focused on initiatives to strengthen your child’s education and forge a family-school partnership.
