Why Join PTA
About our PTA

The PTA's mission is to make every child's potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.


Our PTA:

  • provides programs and services to parents, students, and teachers
  • raises funds to support the staff and students with all the extras not allocated in district budgets
  • coordinates volunteers for needs throughout the school
  • coordinates the National PTA Reflections program to support the arts
  • and more!
Who should join the PTA?

Anyone can join! Parents, grandparents, students and members of the community are welcome! 

If I join the PTA do I have to...?


Attend every meeting?

No way! However, you are welcome to attend all general and committee meetings, but it is not a requirement. To vote on PTA decisions you do need to be a current PTA member.

Volunteer a certain amount of time?

No way! If you choose to volunteer we appreciate your time! However, you decide how much and when you can give your time. You can volunteer whenever it is convenient for you. There are also volunteer opportunities that don't require you to even leave your home.
