Get Connected. There's no better way to know what's happening in your school.

Tap into a Network. PTA functions provide opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, build rapport and discuss parenting issues that are on your mind.

Speak Up. Because PTA is a forum for exchanging ideas, you are encouraged to make suggestions and more effectively suggest change at your child's school.

Vote. Only PTA members have voting rights on important decisions, including budgets and resource allocation.

Help Your Child Succeed. PTA fosters parent involvement. Parent involvement has been proven by three decades of research to be the greatest predictor of student success.

Be a Role Model. By becoming a PTA member, you'll be demonstrating to your child the importance you place on education.
