Join the PTA Today!

 


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 Connected. PTA helps you keep up with what’s happening at your school.
  • Discover Great Resources. The PTA offers a variety of programs designed for parents as well as students. Getting involved in your child’s learning is a great key to successful learning.
  • Tap into a Network. PTA functions allow you to meet other parents and teachers, build rapport and discuss issues that are on your mind. You can share ideas, concerns, and experiences.
  • Have a Voice. PTA can be a way for you to more effectively suggest change at your child’s school. By joining PTA, you are becoming part of the largest child advocacy organization in the state with over 500,000 members across Texas. We can reform legislative policies to improve our children’s lives.
  • Witness Improvement.   By getting involved at your child’s school you can help make positive changes. Research has proven that children do better when their parents are involved both at home and at school. Grades and test scores climb, self-esteem grows, and schools improve!
