FAQ

PTA

Why should I join PTA?

PTA membership and due support your child by

  • funding essential educational and curriculum  needs 
  • advocating on behalf of children and educators at the local, state, and national levels
  • building an inclusive school community for all families

We invite you to join PTA for your child because increasing our membership, even by one, makes it possible to provide important educational resources, speak up on important issues and create a stronger school community. There is no wrong or right way to be involved – anything you can give, whether it’s time or money, will support your child’s potential.   

How much does it cost to join PTA?

Annual PTA membership is only $10.

Where does my money go when I pay membership dues?

PTA dues directly support your child. PTA dues help fund essential school resources and curriculum needs, including purchasing equipment and educational material for our school and organizing movie nights and the fall festival. PTA dues support advocacy efforts at the local, state, and national levels, impacting decisions affecting your child’s health, safety and quality of education. PTA dues support our work to strengthen connections between your family, your child’s classmates and their families, and teachers to build a thriving and inclusive community for everyone.

Does PTA membership require volunteering and attending meetings?

Not at all! The only thing required of you to be a member of PTA is to pay the annual membership dues. Beyond that, however you choose to PTA is up to you. PTA offers all parents and caregivers the opportunity to be engaged in their child’s potential. From volunteering at school events to participating in local, state, and national advocacy efforts to holding PTA leadership roles – the level of involvement is up to you. There is no wrong way to PTA.
